I've searched around and I still can't find anything on how to do this. Ideally I would like to know how to link up multiple domain names as I am now using SDK 1.3.
Does anyone have any tips on how to do this?
Thanks
To elaborate on what Dave has said. When you deploy your app to Azure, it gets an address that looks something like this:
myazureapplication.cloudapp.net
Per the instructions on the page here, http://www.google.com/support/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=47610 or any other dozen pages that come up when one googles "CNAME godaddy", you want to point your domain record hosted at GoDaddy to myazureapplication.cloudapp.net (or whatever your app happens to be). You're not pointing to IP, but to domain name, wihch is why its a CNAME record
HTH
Here is a cool work around
http://blog.smarx.com/posts/custom-domain-names-in-windows-azure
There's a service called DNS Azure that updates your A records automatically. See here
Have you tried simply creating a CNAME entry for all of your custom domain names, to point to your .cloudapp.net Windows Azure deployment name?

Can someone point me where I can find application/service used for creating NEW domain names?
If I want to create domain for example: somethingnew.com and I don't want to purchase it somewhere on net and redirect it on my pc, I want program/service that will allow me to own same way of registering as those online service have, just on my pc locally...
Is this possible?
I would like to use it with WAMP ( Apache ) server, if that is possible...
If anyone have any direction what would be useful, what program/service, I will appreciate that...
I try with Simple DNS Plus application, but it's not working okay...
Anyone have any suggestion?
You mean like with the hosts file? Just add your local domain names to your local PC's hosts file.
Edit file C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
Within place a line like this:
127.0.0.1 somethingnew.com www.somethingnew.com
This will cause your local system to resolve the above domain names to the local IP address.
This file is usually restricted access so you might need to be admin user.
I would like to use it with WAMP ( Apache ) server, if that is possible...
The SimpleDNS Plus tool you mentioned looks like a full DNS nameserver, which would only work with registered domains (nameservers are assigned to your registered domain).
WampDeveloper Pro, a WAMP application, has a LocalDNS tab that does the above, but is not a free tool.
HostsMan and HostsFileEditor, are some other options, though I've not used these two before.

Simply put, I have a domain xyz.com,
I want pc.xyz.com to point to my pc IP (which is dynamic)
any available solutions?
I need a Mac client to update the changing IP, and a service to run on my domain to get those updates.
Something like http://www.dyndns.com/
( I have a domain from Dreamhost if that helps..)
You can set up a CNAME entry so that pc.xyz.com is an alias to a dyndns name. I know that doesn't strictly answer the question of how to run a dyndns-like service yourself, but it will achieve the effect you described with a minimum of effort.
How to set up DNS service dynamic / static is a good place to start. Technically, the concepts are not difficult, but much easier if you use a DNS server that is able to use MySQL or some other database. For example: MySQL BIND SDB Driver ...
The project was started so that we could automatically create sub-domains for user's homepages on account creation.
By far this is the easiest approach and allows you to write a very thin client that can send a quick web request to your system to update the DNS based on your new IP ... Maybe even build your own REST API ...
You could combine cron (or, since you're using a Mac, launchd) and the DreamHost API to achieve the result you want, as described here.

Sometimes when I look up the WHOIS information for some domains, I see that their nameservers are forwarded to a service like ZoneEdit or Domain Control. I've never understood what the purpose is for doing this but I have a feeling it has to do with hiding the nameserver so someone who does a WHOIS on the domain can't figure out which service the site is hosted under.
Can someone please explain this to me?
There is all sorts of reasons someone may use a service like this:
Their webhost doesn't provide DNS. Especially true for people running their own VPS (you'd need 2, for backup DNS).
Their webhost provides DNS, but it is bad; it is slow, it drops out, whatever it may be.
They use multiple webhosts and want to keep all the DNS in one place.
I'm sure there's many more, but these are the obvious ones.
On a related note, for many web hosts you can look up the owner of the IP range that the web server is in if you want to know what company is ultimately hosting a website. This will turn up some info, though the company that owns the IP may not be the person that is being paid directly by a site owner for hosting on that IP.

Pretty much what the title says. I purchased a .com domain for my first personal site ever from gandi.net and I purchased shared hosting space from lithium hosting.
I haven't found any specific instructions for how to make the domain name use the hosting space I purchased, so if you guys could advise me on that, it'd be fantastic!
Thanks!
Typically you log in to the place you registered the Domain (gandi.net) and there should be a place to configure the Name servers for that domain. Lithium hosting should have info somewhere on what their nameservers are, so find that and put them on gandi.net. There maybe some additional setup you have to do on the Lithium side as well (like telling them what domain name you are hosting on their services).
You will have to point domain NameServers to your hosting eg NS1.YOURHOSTING.COM NS2.YOURHOSTING.COM, that is in your case pretty much it.
NS1.LITHIUMHOSTING.COM -> 184.82.230.74
NS2.LITHIUMHOSTING.COM -> 184.82.44.168
You have to tell the people from whom you purchased the domain that they should point it to your webspace which is identified by an other name or an ip address. Look for something like "CNAME Resource Record" or "A Resource Record".
If you cannot find a menu on the site to do this just contact the support.

Like bit.ly, goo.gl, is.gd, j.mp, migre.me etc. use their own domain extension .ly, .gl, .gd, .mp, .me etc. How can I create my own personalize domain extension like .gbsif? Please help.
You can't. Only IANA can.
Management of most top-level domains is delegated to responsible organizations by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), which operates the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and is in charge of maintaining the DNS root zone.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Top-level_domain
Here's a list of available TLDs:
http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/
http://data.iana.org/TLD/tlds-alpha-by-domain.txt
You can run your own nameserver and add a new tld there. But this won't help you much, as the TLD will only be visible to the users who are using your own nameserver.
The "official" TLD like ".ly" are countries, see: official list
The ICANN website does have a Contact page, and one subject category is "New gTLDs", so they probably get requests like this a lot. I don't know if they'd actually create an extension just for you, but if they get a lot of the same requests, I'm sure they'd do something about it.
