I have an existing server and domain name hosted with netlogistics. I want to use this domain name for my new server on Microsoft Azure.

As far as the new server is concerned so far I have...

Deployed a virtual machine on MS azure running centOS 6.6 Installed WHM & cPanel Installed Wordpress

The domain name registrar is asking me for the nameservers How do I find out what these are?

All I can see in azure is the IP (191.239.189.13) and DNS (aewebapp.cloudapp.net)

The default nameservers in WHM are ns1.aewebapp.com and ns2.aewebapp.com but the nameserver provider says these wont work

Greetings!

You may follow the blog: Configuring a custom domain name for an Azure cloud service.

Please be informed to use a reserved IP address to ensure that your IP address does not change.

Thank you,

Have been through that but cannot get it to work.

My developer says: I have opened the DNS 53 Port base on UDP and TCP but still the DNS traffic is not moving from outside the server.

Its not resolving when its come from external ip @191.239.189.13 but when its resolve locally it does which means dns is pefectly configured on server but its traffic which is not coming from firewall

Have been through that but cannot get it to work.

Greetings!

Whoever the DNS name registrar is, they would have provided the customer access to a portal. You should be able to map the cname to the default *.cloudapp.net

Something like this: https://support.zen.co.uk/kb/Knowledgebase/Portal-Manage-DNS-Canonical-Name-CNAME-Records
Look for the CName option towards the bottom.

Thank you,

Arvind
