How to transfer domain from Wordpress to Azure static web app?

Wordpress offers easy transfer to other hosting sites such as Godaddy & Squarespace by giving the domain owner a domain Auth-Code. But with Azure static web app it seems a bit more complicated. If you go to the custom domains tab within your static app you are given the option to type in the custom domain. But nothing I type in there seems valid. I type (for example) www.domain.org, then it says: CNAME Record is invalid. Please ensure the CNAME record has been created. If I type in the Auth-Code given by Wordpress the same expression pops up. So, how do I give my Azure site the domain I own from Wordpress? P.S. I don't want to keep the Wordpress design template, only the domain name.

I have a similar problem. My existing cloud provider net4india became insolvent according to the iCANN website. So i am trying to transfer/migrate my existing domains greystream.co.in and greystream.in to microsoft. App service domains or custom domain service does not allow a transfer migration to microsoft. Even when i purchased a new domain on microsoft azure, www.greystream.org through the app service domain the whois information is in the name of some wild west domains from arizona. None of my details were included. AMAZING Blunder or Bungle?

Azure uses GoDaddy for domain registration, which is a reseller of Wild West Domain. If none of details were included, you can click on the on domain from the App Service Domain blade and visit the management portal to update the details.

I'm not sure what an Auth-Code contains, https://www.bluehost.com/help/article/epp-auth-code is the closest I could find with regards to it. However, the steps for transferring your domain should be quite simple.

  1. Log into your DNS registrar's management portal that owns your domain. Add the www CNAME record for your Azure Static Website generated URL.

  2. Verify CNAME propagation by entering www.domain.org at dnspropagation.net and verify your static website address is returned.

  3. Go back to the portal, enter the CNAME and hit Validate.

You can review this process on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/static-web-apps/custom-domain.

Since my existing cloud service provider net4india became insolvent according the the iCANN website i cannot login to my existing registrar's portal. I have to transfer/migrate the domain to microsoft using Visual Studio DevOps or Github.

Any repository in mind for doing so?
