Serj Sagan's questions

I will immediately admit that I might be going the wrong way about this, but, I would like to be able to have this setup:

Have an Azure App, say myappstaging.azurewebsites.net, that we'll call Staging and a database that, when I need to, be automatically recreated from another Azure App and database, that we'll call Production.

It would be nice if it kept the same publish settings so that I wouldn't have to constantly tinker with my Visual Studio Publish Settings

Does such a thing exist or is possible? Is there a better approach?

I have these sites: app.example.com api.example.com staff.example.com www.example.com / example.com

I used LetsEncrypt to generate free SSLs for each of the sites. Things seem to be fine except it seems that only one SSL cert is being served for all of the sites! I even removed and manually readded the SSL bindings to each of the sites and still had the same problem. I ended up removing all of the SSL certs except my API one and removed all of the SSL bindings except for the API Web Site, and bizarrely, I can still load the other sites as HTTPS even though I removed the SSL bindings for those Web Sites (the remaining SSL cert is of course showing for all of the sites still)! Wth? I thought you need the 443/SSL Bindings in order to even browse that site via https! I can confirm that these are all individual Web Sites, not Virtual Apps inside of a single Web Site. What am I missing? How can I get IIS to serv up the right cert for the right Web Site? This is a Azure VM running Win Server 2012 R2.

I asked this question (on SO by accident):

I am having problems setting up a custom domain (purchased on GoDaddy.com) with an Azure virtual machine (on which I plan on running multiple websites.) I've setup some Endpoints (80 for Http and 443 for SSL) I am using the CNAME of myvm.cloudapp.net and I set the binding in the VM IIS to my Azure VM INTERNAL IP ADDRESS. Voila, it all works. The problem is that Azure will change this IP every once in a while...so my question is, is there a better way to set this up so that I don't have to worry about IP address changes?

The very helpful reply I got was about "dynamic DNS"

However, this only deals with a part of the problem. The second part is the Bindings inside of IIS on the Azure server, how to I make sure those always have the correct IP?
