I have registered a domain name in Only Domains website, it is provisioned,
Yet I am unable to link it to my Netlify project.
Steps I followed till now:
Went to Only Domains -> Domain Name -> DNS Settings
Clicked on: Delegate to Your Name Servers, then added 4 Host Names provided by Netlify (I did not add the IP address though, as they did not provide)
Yet, I am not able to set up a route,
If someone has registered the same, please do let me know.
You need to get the IP address from Netlify, After you add a new domain alias in the App Domain Management you will see "Check DNS configuration", click on it, then a popup will open you can see there is an IP address, just copy it and use it in OnlyDomains with each Host Names that you add from Netlify.

I have my WordPress hosted in this IP for example: http://46.102.133.215/project/public_html/
I'm using linux server.
I bought a domain and it is registered on NameCheap.
Now what should I do, I'm confused. This is my first time, which steps should I do to relate Ip with the domain?
Please help!
You can go through following steps to map your domain to your web hosting server.
1) Your web host must have provided you with the "New Account
Information" containing web hosting login information such as, FTP details, Nameservers, etc.
2) Grab the Nameservers and login to Namecheap control panel. Follow below tutorial and change the nameservers to those which are provided by your web host.
https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/767/10/how-can-i-change-the-nameservers-for-my-domain
3) Once you change the nameservers, DNS propagation may take few hours and your website will start resolving your web host. You'll be able to browse your website with the domain name itself.
4) To run a WordPress website on temporary URL, earlier you might have done the changes in WordPress Address and Site Address variables. You'll have to correct these changes.
5) Replace these entries with your actual domain name and setup. You can refer following tutorial to change these variables.

I am trying to connect my custom domain (in my case it's through Godaddy) to my Azure web app.
I have followed all the steps but I am missing the web app IP address to complete the process.
The tutorial found in Azure says:
To create an A record, you need the virtual IP address of your web app. To get the IP address:
In your browser, open the Azure Portal.
Click the Browse option on the left side of the page.
Click the Web Apps blade.
Click the name of your web app.
In the Essentials page, click All settings.
Click Custom domains and SSL.
In the Custom domains and SSL blade, click Bring External Domains". The IP address is located at the bottom of this part.
...everything works well until the last step (#7). I see no "Bring external domains", nor any IP address.
Under "Properties", there is a section OUTBOUND IP ADDRESSES, that contains 4 IPs. None of them seems to redirect to my site (http://educa03.azurewebsites.net/).
How can I find this IP address needed for the A record?
At some point it seems that a bug crept in that has made the incoming IP address disappear from that page.
If you are on a plan that supports domain names, then the best way to find your external IP address is to ping it.
e:\PS>ping educa03.azurewebsites.net
Pinging waws-prod-am2-051.cloudapp.net [104.47.137.62] with 32 bytes of data:
So in this case your external IP address, that you can put in A records, is 104.47.137.62
Any chance you're using a free tier app? if so, you need to upgrade to at least "Shared" to map the custom domain.
In the past I have been able to just change the nameservers, wait a short while and then create an addon domain on my hosting.
However this doesnt appear to be how Azure works. I keep reading I have to create a CNAME. 1and1 only allows CNAME's on subdomains. I have done this and I have xxx.mysite.org successfully pointed at mysite.azurewebsites.net.
Without using a HTTP redirect can I get mysite.org pointing at mysite.azurewebsites.net?
Thanks!
After days trying to tackle this and reading endless articles online, I finally found the solution. I found numerous articles on mapping and configuring custom domains with azure including getting Error 404 - Website not found after configuring azure (which I also faced) but lacked the detailed configuration with 1and1 which was the main issue.
Some of the top-level articles I've been through I've listed below.

Solution
1and1 Domain Configuration
Go to 1and1 control panel > Domains > Edit DNS Settings.
In Edit DNS Settings, the Name Server Settings should remain 1 & 1 name server.
In A/AAAA and CNAME Records section, select 'Other IP Address' and enter the IP which is assigned to you azure web app, you can find this through accessing your web app and going to 'Custom Domains'.
Add a TXT record with the value being yourappname.azurewebsites.net and click save.
Create a sub domain in 1and1 portal called awverify.mydomain.extension (where extension is your domain extension .i.e .com/.net/.co.uk), click Save
After you create your sub domain, go back to the domain section and next to your domain name click on 'Manage Sub Domain (for that domain)'
Expand the Sub Domain you created and click on 'Edit DNS Settings'.
In the 'Edit DNS Settings' on the A/AAAA and CNAME Records section, select 'Other IP Address' and insert the same app IP Address in the IPv4 text box and click Save.
Go back to your Main 'Manage Domain' section in 1and1 and repeat steps 5, 6, 7 and 8 only this time, your sub domain should be www.yourdomain.yourextension and in step 8 the additional configuration is that you add a TXT record, the value of your TXT record should be yourappname.azurewebsites.net.
After you have finished with the 1and1 configuration, it is strongly advised to wait at least between 12-48 hours to allow the propagation to complete before trying to validate your app in azure, in some cases this might work after a couple of hours.
Then configure Azure to recognise your domain.
Azure Web App Configuration
Go to your app > Custom Domain > Add Hostname
In hostname text box, type yourdomain.yourextension and click validate, on successful validation click 'Add Hostname'
Repeat step 2 to add www.yourdomain.yourextension.
Hope this helps.
You don't have to use a CNAME to use a custom domain with your Azure website. You can use an A record instead.
When you go to "Manage custom domains" in the Azure portal for your site, at the bottom of the window (underneath the CNAME instructions and list of domains) is the IP address to use to configure the A record.
You can use this to configure the DNS for your bare domain, to point it to Azure.
This is how I did it.
In your 1and1 account create a subdomain for your domain awverify.yourdomain.com
Go to DNS settings of this subdomain and under the A/AAAA and CNAME Records section, there will be radiobox for the CNAME, select this option and type in awverify.yourdomain.azurewebsites.net (this could be found in the Bring External Domains window in your azure portal)
When you save your changes here, it might notify you an error, just wait for a few seconds or minutes then click save button again to save your changes.
After successfully saving the subdomain DNS settings, go to the DNS settings of your domain, now under A/AAAA and CNAME Records section, select Other IP Address and in the IPv4 Address text field, type in the IP address you will see under Bring External Domains in your Azure portal. Save your changes.
In your Azure portal, under Bring External Domains, type in your 1and1 domain, wait for to verify, you should see a green check mark at the right side of the text box.

The best way to add an external domain to GoDaddy Ultimate Hosting is as so:
Add the domain manually in the domain section of your hosting. There is a section where it says "add external domain"
Wait about 2 hours and your domain will show as part of your domain list
Click the domain and go to the bottom of the page and then copy the now self generated DNS records (2 of them)
Apply these to the place you bought your domain (pointing your domain to these DNS records)
Go to your GoDaddy hosting, log in to the hosting account you want to use, go to hosted domains, and it should auto fill when you add the new domain name to the the list
You are done ! Good luck, God speed because GoDaddy is the worst when it comes to this process; I guarantee you none of their support section notes have such a step by step remotely close to this one I have written.
I'm totally new about hosting website and I register a domain in network solution and hosted by hostgator. I tried to register my name server by going to Domain name server option in network solution and enter my name sever's name.However,by going to leafdns.com, I found out that the name servers don't pointing to the right ip addresses as provided by hostgator welcome email. Besides, network solution does not prompt you for a ip input for those name servers, and the domain still point to a construction page.
What would be the problem?
It's not enaught to set up Name Servers for domain, you need add records in it. If you setup hostgator hosting NameServers for your domain, just park your domain on hosting panel and NS records add apear automatically.
