title: Mapping a domain name to Azure Linux VM App
body: <p>I followed the typical steps required for mapping my domain name to my Azure Linux Server application.
  I bought the domain from a local service provider, now my issue is mapping that domain name to my cloud app.</p>
  
  <p>I followed the steps on the following link, but still no result.

  <p>I got the name servers for my DNS and applied it to the domain details, still no result.
  *<em>My application is just in the test phase and hasnt been moved to either staging or production environment. *</em> Is this by any chance the problem ?</p>
  
  <p>Did I miss any steps, such as adding an End Point or creating a DNS server list ? etc ? </p>
  
  <p>Kindly assist as I'm struggling with this for over 5 days now.</p>
  
  <p>thanks in advance
