Since GoDaddy does not support ASP.NET Core (and probably won't for a long time since they are still on old ASP.NET 4.5 now) I would like to host my website on Azure. According to this document this is possible using CNAME.

Will it be possible to create a CNAME for the rootdomain (e.g. mydomain.com)? I have read several times there could be problems.

Also: How does this work with Email? The Product "GoDaddy Domain" supports free unlimited email forwading will this still work?

Is there anything else I need to watch out for?

If CNAME is not the "correct" approach, what would be a better way to host a website of a domain from godaddy somewhere else?

The DNS standard does not support using CNAME records for the zone apex (root domain), some DNS providers get around this by creating a virtual CNAME record where you add where it should reference and the DNS server checks the IP address of the CNAME resolution and sends that back at the time of the query. As for your email question you can use any provider for emails and so can continue using the GoDaddy email forwarding service while hosting the site with a different provider.
