Can I know is it possible to have multiple sites under the same hosting account.
public_html/ - Access this via www.example-site.com
public_html/site1 - Access this via www.example-site1.com
public_html/site2 - Access this via www.example-site2.com
As you can see here, I have purchased three domain names. Now I need to link them into relative folders using Nameserves.
Can I have three different name servers from the same hosting account based on the folders?
How can I set Nameserves to match the correct folder?
(I'm using one HostSG VPS account and 3 goDaddy domain names)
Thanks for the support!
You have to add your new site as an Addon-Domain From the cpanel. You don't have to create Name Servers to every single site. You Can Point Existing Name Server with all your sites.
Please follow the below link. It will explain in detail how to add an Addon Domain
Managing Multiple Domains from a Single Hosting Account
There is an option on your cpanel to addons New Domains, once the domain is registered, when you add it, it will automatically create a folder for you with some configuration.

I want to create a website where I want a normal web address for site visitors i.e. www.sitename.com and the administrator of the website should have a web address like www.administrator.sitename.com. How do I achieve this? Just to clear things out, site visitors do not have the feature to create their own accounts on the website. There is only one user that exists i.e. Administrator.
Any other suggestions for implementing this system are also appreciated. This system will be implemented using the MERN stack so, please provide references accordingly.
This has nothing to do with MERN Stack. You basically need to do two things:
Create a subdomain. This can be done by visiting your domain registrar (like goDaddy or any website from which you've purchased your domain).
Host the admin panel on the subdomain.
So, let's say you have purchased example.com from GoDaddy. Now, login to your account on GoDaddy and add a subdomain admin.example.com. Follow the guide on how to add a subdomain for your registrar.
For GoDaddy, read this.
For Namecheap, read this.
That's it. Now you need to host two different websites (one for users and another for admins) one on main domain and another on a subdomain of your choice.
In the next several months we will be going live with a web app ('MyApp') that is being hosted on Azure. We have purchased the MyApp.com domain and our Azure domain name is MyApp.azurewebsites.net.
We do not want our users to ever see the azure domain name in any form. We want them to see www.MyApp.com or www.MyApp.com/Sales/ViewSale etc.
I think I know how to map www.MyApp.com to MyApp.azurewebsites.net based on this article. We won't be able to set this up for a while, so I'd like to know what the user will see in their browser URL when they go to www.MyApp.com. Will they see www.MyApp.com or MyApp.azurewebsites.net? And then what will they see as they navigate various pages in the app?
Your azure website needs to be at least at the 'shared' level. This is the first tier of 'paid' azure website hosting. You do this under website > scale.
app service plan pricing tier = shared.
then you would choose 'configure' and look for 'domains' and add your www.myapp.com domain.
Then you head out to your DNS manager and add a CNAME record that directs traffic from www.myapp.com to myapp.azurewebsites.com, OR you can lookup up the Virtual (public) IP of your azure website and update the A record in your DNS manager.
Either route, your visitors will see www.myapp.com/mypage, www.myapp.com/mypage2, etc.
Once you have the proper hosting level (the control panel will tell you, look for custom domains) and configuration, they can access it as www.myapp.com. You may need to provide your own SSL cert in order to configure it as well.
When it comes time to SSL, check out this post (Azure SSL Certificate) that I made regarding uploading of SSL certs in the control panel. It will save you a headache.
The article you linked appears to have solid information based upon my recent experiences. One thing to note: It has screen shots from the old configuration panel, so some things may look different in the new one.
I haven't found a way to hide the myapp.azurewebsites.com method to access a page, other than maybe doing a redirect inside your code. However, until you have your DNS setup it might be nice to see things working under that domain to start.
I have an site hosted on Azure that I am trying to point a domain from Google Domains to.
My current configuration is as follows:
Name Type Data
# A XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX
www CNAME history-podcasts.azurewebsites.net
awverify CNAME awverify.history-podcasts.com
I am following the instructions from here: Configuring a custom domain name for an Azure Website.
When I go to the Azure portal to Manage Domain and attempt to enter the url in DOMAIN NAMES, I get the following message:
A CNAME record pointing from history-podcasts.com to history-podcasts.azurewebsites.net was not found. Alternative record awverify.history-podcasts.com to awverify.history-podcasts.azurewebsites.net was not found either
When I go to the URL for the domain, I get the following message:
The website you have attempted to reach is not available in this Microsoft Azure Web Sites region. This could be due to one of several reasons:
The web site owner has registered a custom domain to point to the Microsoft Azure Web Site, but has not yet configured Azure to recognize it. Click here to read more.
When a site owner wants to use a custom domain with a Microsoft Azure Web Sites website, Azure needs to be configured to recognize the custom domain name, so that it can route the request to the appropriate server in the region. After registering the domain with a domain provider and configuring a DNS CNAME record to point to the site's Azurewebsites.net address (for example, contoso.azurewebsites.net), the website owner also needs to go to the Azure Portal and configure the site for the new domain. Click here to learn more about configuring the custom domains for a web site.
This is the same configuration settings I am currently using for several domains through Namecheap with Azure hosting and they work as intended.
EDIT:
To summarize, here are the steps you need to take:
1) Create CNAME record redirecting user from your domain to Azure specified domain using tools provided by your DNS hosting service
This step will ensure that when going to www.history-podcasts.com user will transparently be taken to history-podcasts.azurewebsites.net
Type: CNAME
Name: www
Value: history-podcasts.azurewebsites.net
IMPORTANT: Please note that it takes time for DNS servers to update their records therefore you should wait around 30 minutes before continuing.
2) Redirect your naked domain to subdomain using DNS hosting service tools
This step will ensure that when going to history-podcasts.com user will be redirected to www.history-podcasts.com
For Google Domains you can follow this guide here.
3) Add your domain to Azure Website
This step will assure Azure that you own the domain and you want your site to be reachable using specified domain name.
Login into https://manage.windowsazure.com/
Navigate Websites -> [Your Website] -> Configure
Scroll down to Domain names
Click Manage Domains (note that custom domains can only be used when in the Shared, Basic, or Standard modes)
Add your domain www.history-podcasts.com
At this point you should be able to reach your web site using both history-podcasts.com and www.history-podcasts.com domain names.
If your website requires HTTPS, you will have to take extra steps:

i have bought a domain(adspace.lk) and hosting from the same service provider (lankahost.net). but now my domain has expired and my hosting account is still available with all my files.
now i have bought another domain (.com) at name.com .i want to connect my new domain name.com to the existing hosting account.
Is there any way to do it.
sort of, yes. Assuming that the machine you're hostin your files on has an ip address set aside for your exclusive use - that is, not "shared" hosting - you can simply create an A record with the new new, and that ip address. You must also change your webserver config - if you're using any web related stuff - such that the webserver can associate your web site files with the new name. Usually, a web host can have multiple names at the same time, so you could simply add a new name to the existing configuration.
It's hard to answer without knowing the details of your domain and hosting settings, but I'll try to give a generic but hopefully useful answer.
You should first get the ip(s) of your hosting. Then point the new domain to that ip(s) using the dns panel provided by the registrar. If you use your own dns (unlikely), set the ip there.
After this, you should configure some rules on your hosting. It's likely that you have to set some sort of virtualhost settings. In particular, you should associate the new domain name to the hosting: probably the hosting service provides you a control panel for this task.
It will be done easily from your domain control panel, just update your dns settings for your new domain name.com. Update your nameservers or A record to point the hosting account. So that it will be linked with your existing hosting account files.
I did almost everything that have described in the azure documentation briefly.
My domain names that i need to be assigned with my azure website url idaa.azurewebsites.net are mostout.com and www.mostout.com.
When trying to enter my site using any of the links added here, the site loads and works perfectly as i need.
But the problem is with my url which is getting loaded in browser url field while giving mostout.com or www.mostout.com.
It comes with the azure website url every time. What do I do now to get it working?
Make sure to set the CNAME for your service: have the www. name point to the full azurewebsites.net address.
Note that you'll:
need to have a level of service that supports custom domains with Windows Azure Web Sites,
add the CNAME from your www. domain to the azurewebsites domain (same goes for having the naked domain name via an A record or similar)
add the verification names, awverify.www.yourdomain.com and awverify.yourdomain.com
use the Manage Domains function in the portal for the web site to customize that domain name,
Things should just work then.
