Domain name and SSL certificate

Question

We have installed Wordpress in the VM, we are accessing it thru the public IP address, how can we set a domain name for this and get a SSL certificate? Thanks

Answer 1

You buy the domain from a domain register and config the custom domain name in azure. Azure supports buying from godaddy, but you can buy from any register.

Once you have the domain, you buy the ssl certificate separately, again from any certificate provider. Again you can use godaddy.

Answer 2

@LearnAzure Thanks for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A, apologize for any inconvenience caused on this.

As Bruce (SqlWork.com) mentioned you need to buy either App service domain or domain from any other 3rd party register's.

If you are looking to purchase the app service domain then you need to pay $11.99 USD per each.

We don't need a custom domain name, can we get a domain name from Azure, I saw from the article it is free, am i correct

Your understanding of getting free custom domain from Azure is incorrect you need purchase it. Once you purchase App service domain you can get a Free SSL certificate to secure your custom domain refer to this documentation about Tls/Ssl certificate in app service.

Hope this help!, let me know if you have any further questions on this.
