Custom Domain Goal

Have visitors see the front page of my App Service when they navigate to "wetzelwisdom.com"

GoDaddy

For this project, GoDaddy.com was used to affordably purchase and manage the DNS records for the wetzelwisdom.com domain. I chose the most basic plan, opting out of buying both the M365 domain from them and the protection against domain theft/unwanted charges.

Configuration

The first step is to visit your AppService on Azure and view the Custom Domain settings. We have to grab both the IP Address and Custom Domain Verification ID

In the DNS settings of the GoDaddy domain, an A record is to be created using the IP address, and a TXT using the Custom Domain Verification ID.

Once the records are created in GoDaddy, we can navigate back to the AppService's custom domain page to add the wetzelwisdom.com domain. Once the domain is validated and added, a binding must also be created using SNI SSL.

And now, we can reach our Azure webpage through wetzelwisdom.com! Woohoo!
