How to access server through custom domain? - node.js

I created a Node.JS server in Bluemix and everything runs fine. But I can only access it through the given Bluemix domains.
I tried to configure the CNAME on my domain provider TransIP but it doesn't work. And I also couldn't find a lot of documentation about it.
Can you point me to the right place or tell me how to do it?

Netsuite: SuiteCommerce Advanced Local Development

DO you have to have a CNAME and hosting to work on SCA locally? It appears so, I could be wrong, Im just wondering if there is any way to get around this using alternate hosting methods like Azure App Services or CDN's
You should be able to add any domain you want in NetSuite. As long as your hosts file points to it, along with the NetSuite IP, you'll be able to access it via that domain.
You don't need to purchase a domain to access it, provided it's a host file entry :)

Azure VM - site isn't reachable externally

I am new to Azure and got confused with my setting.
I've created a VM, and I can see I have the below:
Both are pointing to the same app with the same IP.
I have connected to the machine using RDP, set the IIS correctly and deployed my WebAPI. When tested locally all seems to be fine.
However, the site isn't reachable externally, neither with the CloudApp domain (nmsw10services.cloudapp.net) nor my own domain which is pointing to the same IP.
Can someone please point what I'm doing wrong in here?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
You need add endpoints for your web app.
By default, when you create a classic VM, it will create an endpoint for RDP (port 3389). You also need add your endpoints according to your app.
More information about endpoints please refer to this article.

Do I still need to use a service like DNSimple if I want a naked domain for my Heroku app?

Researching past posts makes it seem like you have to use a service like DNSimple in order to have a naked domain (i.e. "example.com") for Heroku apps. I am wondering if that is still true, or if I can achieve this using only my app server.
I am using Namecheap BasicDNS and my app is a node/express app hosted on Heroku.
Thanks in advance for any tips. I am just trying to make sure before I purchase. Thank you.
You can't point your apex domain to an hostname (hence to Heroku), because you can't use a CNAME for the apex.
Consequently, the only way to point your root domain to a service like Heroku is by using a DNS provider that provides a CNAME-like feature for the root domain, that is what DNSimple calls ALIAS.
You can also find more information in the Heroku documentation.

Unable to fetch webspage with Dokku on digitalocean

I'm currently having trouble with hosting with dokku on digitalocean. Everything uploads just fine, all "pre-flight checks" pass and dokku even says that my application was deployed successfully. However when I go to the domain i used for the app (which is this). I get an error saying webpage isn't available, or since i'm using CloudFlare for DNS it says "Website is offline". I have all the dns servers pointing to CloudFlare and standard dns and the wildcard dns are setup as so...
Happy to add more information if needed.
The domain appears to work for me. Did you get this sorted out?

Multi-tenant Azure dynamic wildcard CName

I am trying to create a multitenant Azure website which is a way for people to sign up and get their sub-domains. I have followed the instructions in here (http://www.stratospher.es/blog/post/wildcard-subdomains-in-windows-azure) and manage to get all *.mydomain.com CNAME to mydomain.azurewebsites.net according to (http://www.digwebinterface.com/)
Here is the problem
if I go to tenant1.mydomain.com I'll get the 404 server error. However if I log in to Azure and go to my website Manage custom domains and add the tenant1.mydomain.com then everything would work fine.
The idea behind the wildcard is I can add tenant pragmatically/dynamically. Is there anyway to automated this process or add a wildcard in the azure Manage custom domains. Is there any difference between app cloud service and website?
Thanks for your help
Update
I end up using cloud services instead of websites. You don't need to configure the custom domain names in the control panel anymore. Just simply point cname and your good to go.
Did you check out the use of Amazon Route 53 to configure the domain mapping in Azure, it seems that there are options.
