I am working on a SaaS application. Say I want to host the application aa www.dostuff.com. I need to make this a multi-tenant application and would like to host that as tenant1.dostuff.com, tenant2.dostuff.com. What I have is..
One Windows 2012 Server with DNS Setup and One static IP
Domain name bought from godaddy(dostuff.com)
When I did my reading realized that I have to set up DNS on my VM and do the deployment. Tried doing it but wasn't able to complete
it.
I am unable to understand clearly how to do the deployment for this and automate it. I need to integrate this to my on-boarding process and create platform data for tenants. Please let me know if I am missing something here and how do I proceed further.
Thanks

I need some help here. I have a website in asp.net and a database in my local machine, and I'm setting up a testing enviroment so that I can access the site and the database from outside the local network and make tests. I want to set up a server in my windows 10 using IIS to publish the site, and I already know how to publish a asp.net site through Visual Studio and IIS manager. My only issue now is to make it available outside my network. Is there a easier way of doing this than having to buy a domain and a hosting service?
You could create a free azure app:
https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/pricing/calculator/#app-service1
You can run a single website (asp.net) and not need to register a domain it will give you a link publicly available on the web.
Whoops, sorry, the database wouldn't be free however the basic version is not expensive. This is in fact what I run for my own test cases.
In order to host at home, you would need to ensure that you had a static IP address and that port 80 was opened to allow traffic in and out.

I have installd IIS server in windows azure virtual machine using ARM template also deployed one application. But when I am accessing the DNS name/Public IP of my VM the default IIS server is coming. I am unable to access my website.
Please give some idea how to access the deployed website using DNS name or public IP.
I am following the below github template for application deployment:
https://github.com/Azure/azure-quickstart-templates/tree/master/201-web-app-vm-dsc
In case you are using Visual Studio 2012 or higher, you can create PublishProfile and use the Publish feature in order to deploy your Web App to Azure service. Refer to the Build->Publish menu item.
I don't know if your website is reachable on port 80 but you have to setup a VM endpoint if you want your site to be published on another port than the default one.
Hope it helps !
If you're using the sample quickstart "as is" the problem is likely that you're missing the virtual application in the path (it's probably not the best sample). If you're hitting the VM using an URI like this:
http://your-dns-name.westus.cloudapp.azure.com
You need to add the web app path onto the end, e.g.
http://your-dns-name.westus.cloudapp.azure.com/webapplication
You can double check the name of the web application by using IIS Manager on the VM, but I think that should be the default name for that quickstart sample.
I have created a small web application with one page only. Now I want to host and deploy this application on one of our business's server so that anyone can access this small app.
Could please anyone tell me what will be the process as I don't have any previous knowledge or experience of doing this also, what changes I do need to make in my web config and the IIS configuration.
Kind Regards
Firstly: Install IIS on the server that you want to host your application on
Secondly: Setup the site in iis
Thirdly: If you have a database connection in your app check that the connection string is updated
Fourthly: Make sure that the relevant port in the firewall is not blocked
I have been trying to find out how best I can host a JavaEE5 web application with Oracle11g database. I have got my domain registered and currently pointing to my Jboss web application on my laptop.
I would like to host it for a while untill my application gets finished and ideally would like to go on hosting on a professional company server when I start getting increased traffic.
Firstly, to host at my home I want to use a separate dedicated server. Can you please let me know what options I have? Because I have no clue on what to purchase.
Secondly, when I want to go with a professional company server, which ones should I consider that supports JavaEE5 deployments and Oracle11g databases? Let me know if you need more details.
Personally I have experience with OpenShift. Free plan offers JBoss AS 7.1.1 and MySQL or PostgreSQL, but it's very slow (you might want to try these two my demo applications: personal site and e-shop). Paid plans looks for me too expensive here. This solution might be appropriate if you don't wanna configure application server and database.
Another possible solution is Amazon Web Services. There are such services as Elastic Beanstalk that offers you different servers including Tomcat, Amazon Relational Database Service that offers you Oracle Database as well as other RDMSes, and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud that enable you install JBoss AS yourself even if Beanstalk with Tomcat doesn't work for you. It looks like AWS is cheaper than OpenShift, but as for me, EC2 is still expensive. Check if price works for you. Buy the way AWS has a free tier the first year of usage that includes EC2 instance. So if you're sure that your project will long less than a year, it might be a good choice. ASW would be appropriate for you if you are ok with Tomcat instead of application server and you don't wanna configure application server and database.
Also I heard positive comments about Digital Ocean, but never tried it. It looks like it offers only infrastructure as service (like AWS EC2) so you will have to install and configure all servers yourself.
I'm a developer now developing my startup. I really don't know much about IIS setup. I will host my startup on Amazon EC2. And I want to know how can I scale my application if my traffic increase. I been reading about MS Deploy and Web Farm Framework here: https://serverfault.com/questions/127409/iis-configuration-synchronization-for-web-server-farm . And I want a simple architecture, with not to much configuration. So I been looking an experience with an IIS web farm and Amazon ELBs. And I did not find any one.
So the question is:
It is possible to make a IIS web farm with Amazon ELBs?
Any experience on Ec2? IIS web deploy or WFF and/or without ELBs?
What you recommend for an easy web farm setup?
You can do almost anything you want with IIS on EC2. They are full servers (well window 2k8 datacenter edition) and you can open any ports you need to communicate between servers. Here is an explicit tutorial on how to set up WFF, for example, on EC2.
The question is, are you sure you need to build a web farm? If you simply want to have multiple servers running your code then you can accomplish this without anything more than IIS and the tools that EC2 provides.
You build your app so it uses shared resources (like a session state server, central location for storing user uploaded content), configure a server the way you like it, and capture a server image (AMI). You use this image when you configure AutoScaling to launch new instances based on server metrics (like CPU usage), and they would be automatically added to the load balancer when launched.
The last challenge is ensuring servers launched automatically are running your latest code. You can write a custom program to get the latest code from somewhere (like SVN) on server startup, or you can use something much simpler like Dropbox to handle the synchronization.
