Need help with this

Question

I want to host a number of sites on my virtual machine for my websites how can i create an "A record" can anybody help me on this.

Answer 1

Hi,

You can setup a proxy server with a static IP and redirect http request through that.

Another way : You need to create a Virtual network before creating a Virtual machine. And reserve an IP address for your instance.

If you don't do this(reserve IP), IP will change and you will not be able to access your site.

When creating your Virtual Machine add Virtual Machine to your Virtual Network and edit endpoints so you can access your websites. Then you can edit your DNS records to point to IP address of your Virtual Network.

Regards.

Answer 2

You can either point your A record to the Cloud Service hosting your VM (as described here) or reserve a static IP for a particular VM and point there.

Domain management (setting A and CNAME records) is not part of Azure and differs by domain provider.
