How to move the domain name?
If you have access to alter the DNS records you can do the following:
Delete the current record for www.website.com and create a CNAME record instead pointing at website.azurewebsites.net. Now if you want to use https://website.com/ you cannot use a CNAME, in this case you need to create an A record pointing at the IP addresse of the Web App, keep in mind this requires the basic tier or higher.
I'm a programmer, not a system admin. Is there a guide or reference that explains it for a novice? That or I'll have to find somebody to pay that can do this.
look here, https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cloud-services/cloud-services-custom-domain-name
but its all very straight forward. you dont have to be a systems admin but you do need access to the DNS registar. you allready mentioned you know who it was, if not use this tool https://mxtoolbox.com/DNSCheck.aspx
