I have a very simple scenario that I can´t make it work.
I created a virtual machine, installed iis, already can see landing page of IIS if I enter public IP on my browser, so it is well configured on firewalls and whatsoever...
Just for making this example more accurate, I changed port of that webpage to 8888, and also keeps working on my browser if I enter 1.1.1.1:8888... cool.
Now I want to associate my "contoso.com" address to this IP and specific port of my IIS.
Anybody knows how to do that??? Cause all I can find are lots of solutions talking about how to configure DNS to WEBPAGES.AZUREWEBSITES.NET, and I don´t have one of that... I have MYVM.CLOUDAPP.NET.
Thanks for the help!
All you have to do is to add a HOST (A) record in your public dns provider to point to your Azure VM Public IP Address. The port doesn't matter.

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.
I deployed a testing website on my host and want to access from VM.
I setup a network connection and both are connected to a home group.
I can share files form one to another using share folder.
I assigned IP to my website so that I may be able to access using its IP.
When I brows at local using IP. it run perfect.
But when I brows from VM. It gives me error This site can't be reached.
in your VM environment, you need to check networking configurations and permissions.
could be a lot of things, if you could add a picture it would be easier to tell you. if you can't, see if your connection is bridged or not.
also, a good thing to check is that your router has an open port for your VM and allows another connection inside your subnet.
The problem is solved. I dig out and taken 3 steps. and my issue is solved.
I Turn off my windows firewall on host.
Authentications:
i) In IIS I click on Authentication.
ii) Anonymous Authentications Enabled.
IP Address and Domain Restrictions:
In IIS Click on IP Address and Domain Restrictions and Add IP address of VM or
any PC
from where I want to access.
and now it worked.
I'm attempting to create a server using IIS.
I created a site. Configured the firewall. It's available in the browser as localhost(http://localhost:8555/) and static IP(http://10.12.66.79:8555/) too
But from another network like my phone. I tried accessing using the static IP but it failed. then I tried using the virtual IP then it show me the login page of my service provider.
what I can do next?
Hope you grab a computer networking book some time to study the basic concepts.
10...* is a private address your ISP gives to your server,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address#Private_addresses
So that this server can be accessed by other devices on the same network.
Your phone is on another network (via Internet in most cases), so it won't be able to access your server.
To pass packets between two networks, many other devices and settings are required.
If you do want to do experiments, public cloud computing platforms are far better an option, as they can give your server public IP addresses that can be accessed anywhere.
you can change the mobile's default DNS to your system's(IIS) IP may be this could help you but it can be able to run locally only. Make sure that your site is working in your system through the static IP (http://10.12.66.79:8555/) if it is working properly then this could be the only problem change the DNS.
I have an Azure virtual machine with multiple web sites on it that I would like to expose to the Internet. The VM has Active Directory and DNS installed on it. I created the forward zone (xxx.cloudapp.net) on my server, and added the two web site names to the zone. On the Networks in the Management Portal, I added a DNS server(xxx.cloudapp.net) and gave it the public IP for my server.
So when I try a nslookup from outside of the VM, the names will not resolve. I set the server in nslookup to either the public IP or the name, and it does not resolve. I have logging turned on in the DNS server, but it does not seem to show any requests from my computer.
I must be doing something wrong. Any suggestions? This server is for a demo next week, and worst case, I can buy a couple of domain names.
Try the instance level public-ip address, you will get an ip address per virtual server: https://azure.microsoft.com/documentation/articles/virtual-networks-instance-level-public-ip/
I created a IIS site in my windows server 2012 virtual machine. I want to be able to access it online on my android phone. I can access it locally on the server. The ip address of the server is 199.86.19.2 and for the IIS site its 192.168.113.133. Also the server is a dynamic ip. I have tried using an online site called noip.com to make a domain. I created a domain
mydomain.no-ip.biz and gave it the ip address 192.168.113.133. I even installed the client program so it keeps my ip up to date. However when I visit mydomain.no-ip.biz. it says it cannot be found.
Does anyone know what is wrong here?
Thanks.
192.168.113.133 is your local IP address on your network. 199.86.19.2 is your external IP address that your IPS assigned to your server (until it expires). I'm assuming you are doing this at home so you would need to make sure if you have a router, you need to configure it to set it up to port forward to your local IP address.
Set your 'mydomain.no-ip.biz' ip address to 199.86.19.2 and make sure your router (if you have one) is forwarding to 192.168.113.133.
