This is the Part 5 of Azure Websites-Azure Web Apps session. In this session I demonstrate how to map a custom domain to a newly created Website and what DNS configuration is required to make this happen. The session further divulges into uploading and binding SSL certificate to an Azure Website with a custom domain. As a bonus a demonstration is provided on how to force HTTP traffic to secure HTTPS in Azure Websites. http://www.cloudranger.net YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/CloudrangerNetwork
