Host Multiple websites on azure virtual machine - azure

I Have created a virtual machine on azure and hosted one web applications(react and nodejs web app) with iis web server.
Now I want to create a one more (Wordpress) web applications with same Virtual machine on iis web server.
Is it possible in azure to host multiple websites with same ip address of virtual machine?

Yes, you can do that, IS can manage different sites with host headers functionality
Host multiple Web sites on one server.

Hosting multiple websites is supported by IIS.
If you want to share same port number for multiple websites, then please remember to specify public domain name for each site.
If you don't have so much public domain and you just want to access your website via External Firewall IP address, then please set different Port number for them.

Website in IIS locally and Domain Name bought from GoDaddy - What Next

I have been at this since last couple of weeks. After tiring efforts leading to nowhere, I am posting here.
I have a Website built and hosted in IIS locally. I just bought domain name from GoDaddy. I have my computer's public IP where the website in IIS is present. What are my next steps so that I can keep my computer as server and link with domain name? So that website is accessible publicly through domain name.
I saw a lot of posts with Web Hosting in Azure or other places, do I HAVE TO buy and host to make my site public?
I am a novice website builder and have very limited knowledge about this.
first you need make sure your sever is secured, only open necessary ports
go to another computer, in browser input public ip to see if you can open your webpage
then in Godaddy you can add A record for your domain, to point your domain to your public IP, refer to this GoDaddy document: https://ca.godaddy.com/help/add-an-a-record-19238
If you are not comfortable or don't resource to do these, I suggest you host on Azure or other cloud providers
You could host your application in either Azure VM or your local machine. After all, Could VM should be more convenient because you don't need spend a lot of time to handle network issue and you don't need physical space.
When you decide to host your application locally, you have to ensure your are using windows server OS, otherwise, you have 10 concurrent request limit.
Access the application via domain is quite simple.
You need to enable port like 80 in windows firewall.Promise your server are in DMZ and can be accessed externally
Create IIS binding header with null domain and your public address
Try to access your website via your public IP address
Point godday domain to your public IP address
Add your domain to your Site's binding host header->host name field
If you decide to host your application in IAAS like Azure VM, then you have to create inbound rule for your port number and allow port in windows firewall. You also have to point your godday domain to your cloud VM's public IP address and create IIS binding with your domain. Finally, you should be able to access your website.

Deploy website on azure virtual machine and access on internet

I want to deploy a website on azure IIS by using server 2016(Azure VM), and want to access it anywhere on the internet. How can I do this?
Which ip address I've to use for this purpose?
There are several steps to acheive this deployment on IIS.
1.Install IIS on azure VM.
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/premier-developer/set-up-iis-on-windows-virtual-machine/
2.Create a website for publish
Please remember to grant permission for authenticated user like IUSR and application pool identity
https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/323972/how-to-set-up-your-first-iis-web-site
3.Set Azure VM firewall to allow your port like 80
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/nsg-quickstart-portal
4.Publish your website.
You could achieve this via simple copy action in Remote desktop or VS web deployment
Just ensure your website can be accessed via telnet or tcping.exe. I remember ping is blocked by Azure VM.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/windows/publish-web-app-from-visual-studio
5.Try to access from both internal IP address and external firewall IP address.
If you could access from internal IP which means your IIS site has been built correctly.
If the website can be access from external. Then you have finished the publish.
6.If you want to access website from public domain.
Then you have to purchase domain name from public domain provider. Then bind your domain to your public IP address on their portal. As long as the website can be accessed from external. It would work with domain name.

How to add subdomain pointing to other website on same server

I have 2 websites I want to run on one virtual machine.
One is a NodeJS server, the other an Nginx server.
The main website website.example points to the NodeJS server.
Now I want a subdomain like shop.website.example to point to the Nginx server.
The virtual machine is in Azure.
I've read that it's not possible to link a subdomain to a specific port, so that's already not possible.
Would it be possible to have different IP's that go to the website, and would route to the right server based on the IP that is being used?
As far as I know, if you want to access the two websites in the same Azure VM, It's possible to use two DNS records to map to your Azure VM.
First of all, the two websites should listen on different ports. Then you can use A record to map the domain name website.example to the Azure VM public IP address. A CNAME record maps the subdomain name shop.website.example to the Azure VM FQDN. You should bind the different hostname of the websites with different ports on the Azure VM.
Also, make sure you could access the website outside of Azure. You could check the NSG rule or local firewall or website is listening for 0.0.0.0 on the Azure VM.

External IP address not listed for IIS website bindings Google Cloud

I used to had a dedicated server but now I am migrating everything to a google Cloud Platform. In Computer Engine I have created a VM windows server. I am trying to add my first website, but when I try to bind my external IP address, this is not listed for IIS website bindings. In this case, I don't know how can I link the external IP to my website. I want to add multiple websites to that server. The only option that I have is bind to an internal IP address.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks. Now I know that you can add several network interfaces (one per core) but only in the first step of the VM creation and you can bind External to an internal IP. In the machine, there is not possible to see external IP.

Can my Azure web apps access the internal DNS of my Virtual Network?

I have configured my Azure Web Apps and App Hosting Plan to connect via Point-to-Site gateway with my Virtual Network in Azure. I followed this article here:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-integrate-with-vnet/
I have a VM that is hosting DNS and my Virtual Network is configured to use this.
I want to be able to reference services running in my Virtual Network from my Web Apps via domain name and not by direct IP address.
It works fine if I connect using the VM's internal IP address eg 192.168.1.4. But, when I add a DNS A record pointing my-service.my-vnet.local to 192.168.1.4, my web app can't resolve the domain.
I attempted to check the DNS settings of the web app and it appears my internal DNS server is not one of the hosts configured. Here's the code I ran in my web app:
from nic in NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()
let props = nic.GetIPProperties()
select String.Join("; ", props.DnsAddresses.Select(x => x.ToString()))
Is this possible to do? If so, can anyone suggest what I need to do?
From everything we have tried and talking with Azure folks at Ignite, Web Apps (point-to-site) were not designed to be joined to a domain. That said, we are successfully using web apps to access on-premise web services using a binding with a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and securing that traffic be certificate.
Due to the way web apps connected to a VNET works, you will not be seeing the DNS servers when you list all interfaces. If in command line you run the command:
SET WEBSITE_
You should see an environment variable that holds your configured DNS servers. If not, you should go to your web app in the Azure Portal, to the Vnet section, and hit the "Sync Data" button.
