    Hello everyone,

    I've been working in a DotNetNuke site from Windows Azure as an application, I almost finish the site, but I want to know how to change my domain? in this moment I have a domain like this: "name.azurewebsites.net", but I want to change it for one like this: "www.mydomain.com.co", I have a doubt about if the domain is the same thing that the alias is, if so, I want to change it, but I think that the one that came by default can't be changed but I think that I can create another one with my specifications, but I don't know how to do, if there is someone that can help me telling me the steps that I have to do to solve my problem I will be very grateful.

    Regards.

    You need to do a few things.

    1. You need to own the domain name. You can do this with GoDaddy or anyone else who is a registrar for domain names.
    2. Configure DNS to point your domain name at your server's IP address. Typically, your domain name registrar provides the tools to do this.
    3. Configure IIS on your server to "bind" the domain name to your website.
    4. Create a "portal alias" for your website that matches the domain name.
