title: How to map a custom domain name created in freenom.com to a Windows Azure VM with Public IP
body: <p>I have searched the net and cannot find an answer to this question. I have created a .ga domain with freenom.com. </p>
  
  <p>I created two dns records in freenom.com. The A record maps to the public ip of the virtual machine and the cname record maps to the azure domain name - xxxxx.eastasia.cloudapp.azure.com. I set the ttl in both records to be 3600. </p>
  
  <p>I give some hours for the dns records to propagate and try to do an nslookup on my .ga domain but it does not seem to exist. I try pinging, browsing the url but it seems that my domain does not exist. </p>
  
  <p>Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.</p>
