Custom Domain Names in Windows Azure

  • [アーティクル]

This is a topic that comes up quite frequently, and I always find myself referencing Steve’s post on the matter of mapping a Hosted Service running in Windows Azure (for example https://frogs69.cloudapp.net) to a custom domain that you otherwise own. So here is a permanent reference to this most useful blog post.

Another (similar) topic is about Custom Storage Domain Names, i.e. how to map a custom domain name you own to a Windows Azure blob store endpoint. This has been covered comprehensively on the Windows Azure team blog here:

Finally, in this area of interest, I will also reference the Windows Azure Content Delivery Network, which allows you to deliver the contents of a Windows Azure blob store public container via a CDN, which can also be mapped to a custom domain name you own, right there from the Windows Azure dev portal:
