title: Does Azure offer https for "cloudapp.net"?
body: <p>One great advantage of using <strong>Azure <em>Websites</em></strong> is that I can get secure HTTP (HTTPS) without doing nothing: I simply type <code>https://xyz.azurewebsites.net</code> and it works. I don't have to worry about certificates because I use the subdomain that Azure gives me (in the example it would be <code>xyz</code>)</p>
  
  <p>So, what I usually do is that people come by through some registered domain I have, eg. <code>http://www.my-application-homepage.com</code>, and there, if they want to use my application, I redirect them to the subdomain at <code>azurewebsites.net</code>, <strong>using HTTPS.</strong></p>
  
  <p>Now, having said that:<br>
  I'm in need of upgrading to <strong>Azure Cloud Services</strong> or <strong>Azure Virtual Machines</strong>, because these have capabilities that <strong>Azure Websites</strong> don't . These two also offer a free subdomain: <code>xyz.cloudapp.net</code>, but my question is: will I get HTTPS there too? and how? </p>
  
  <p>I searched in google for some cloudapp examples and what I tested was the following:</p>
  
  <p>1) Connect through HTTP (ie. type <code>http://xyz.cloudapp.net</code>). Result: worked</p>
  
  <p>2) Connect through HTTPS (ie. type <code>https://xyz.cloudapp.net</code>). Result: didn't work (chrome gave <code>ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT</code>)</p>
