Answer 1

CloudBlobContainer container = new CloudBlobContainer("https://mystore.blob.core.windows.net/" + subDomain);

This just creates an instance of CloudBlobContainer object. To create a container in your storage account, you would need to call CreateIfNotExists or Create function on this object.

Try this code instead:

public void AddCompanyStorage(string subDomain)
    {
        //get the storage account.
        CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse(
            System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["StorageConnectionString"].ToString());

        //blob client now
        CloudBlobClient blobClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudBlobClient();            

        //the container for this is companystyles
        CloudBlobContainer container = blobClient.GetContainerReference(subDomain);
        container.CreateIfNotExists();

    }
