How to setup custom DNS with Azure Websites Preview?
- by husainnz
I created a new Azure Website, using Umbraco as the CMS. I got a page up and going, and I already have a .co.nz domain with www.domains4less.com. There's a whole lot of stuff on the internet about pointing URLs to Azure, but that seems to be more of a redirection service than anything (i.e. my URLs still use azurewebsites.net once I land on my site).
Has anybody had any luck getting it to go?
Here's the error I get when I try adding the DNS entry to Azure (I'm in reserved mode, reemdairy is the name of the website):
