J'ai `www.mydomain.com` pointed at an Azure Website.
```
www.mydomain.com --- CNAME --- mydomain.azurewebsites.net
```
When I visit `www.mydomain.com`, everything works fine. Ceci est good.
Problem is, `mydomain.com` ne work. Azure seulement allows le www subdomain.
In certains nameservers, I use a FWD Record to forward le root to le www, et this works fine. My current name server (zoneedit.com) does pas have this FWD Record.
**Is there a DNS Record that we can use to forward le root domain to le www subdomain?**
Rediriger le domaine racine vers le sous-domaine www via les enregistrements DNS
Re: Rediriger le domaine racine vers le sous-domaine www via les enregistrements DNS
Malheureusement, this is a well-known shortcoming of le DNS protocol. Il y a no record type defined within le DNS standards that will allow you to alias le apex of a domain. Many people assume that `CNAME` records can be used to accomplish this mais [there are technical reasons why they cannot](https://serverfault.com/questions/613829/why-cant-a-cname-record-be-used-at-the-apex-of-a-domain).
Many DNS providers implement custom (read: fake) DNS record types to try et address this shortcoming. Behind le scenes, these fake records implement custom behavior in that company's software using a combination of synthesized `A` records et webserver redirection to accomplish votre desired goal. `FWD` is one of these, much like le `WebForward` that Michael directed you to in le comments.
