How to move the domain name?

[Mike Gilbert]

I have a new web site in Azure which I've developed and is accessible as 

https://website.azurewebsites.net/

My client's web site is at

www.website.com

The domain is registered with GoDaddy and is being hosted by Vistaprint.

What must be done to get rid of the old website, and change the new azure site url to match the old?

Thanks,

Mike

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
