title: How to attach Public Static IP to Azure App Service
body: <p>There are 100 external domains are pointing to my existing application. We're planning to migrate to Azure App service. In this case, we have to request all domain users to point to our new app service. It involved lot of coordination and takes time. </p>
  
  <p>In future(may after 2 years), we've a plan to deploy solution to another app service or azure VM, then we've to repeat the same process of requesting external domain owner to point to new deployment environment. </p>
  
  <p>Currently we're thinking below two solutions. Could you please suggest on those.</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>First, create a public static IP address, and request all external domains to point to this IP address.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Solution 1:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Attach this IP address to Azure VM which is very lower capacity and use this server as redirecting url where ever you deploy the solution, it may be Azure app service.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p><strong>Solution 2:</strong></p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Is it possible to attach public static IP address to Azure app service? I know app service is not an IaaS service to control on infrastructure. I went through some of article to set static IP address to app service. But that is different that what I required. </li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Please also suggest if you've any other better solution. </p>
  
  <p>Regards,
