Are you thinking about making your WordPress website live using Microsoft Azure. You got it to the right place! Azure is a platform offering a reliable, scalable, and easy-to-use platform for hosting your WordPress sites. If you are reading about Azure for the first time or you are an expert here for a quick refresher, this guide will take you through this procedure step by step. Let's begin!
Step 1: Get Started on Microsoft Azure

Step 2: Create a Resource
Once you have signed in, you’ll find a button saying “+ Create a Resource” on the top left of your screen.
Step 3: Choose App Services
Alongside the Cerate resource button, you will see several resources. If you don’t find App Service there, no need to worry! Click on More Services, there in the search tab type App Services and you will find it.
Step 4: Set Up Your WordPress Website

Step 5: Fill in Your Information
You are almost done, fill in the required information like subscription, resource groups, and name for your web app.
Pro Tip:
While naming your web app, you’ll see a radio button below the name field. Just turn it off! Why? If it is left on, Azure adds a default ID (Consisting of a random unique combination of numbers and alphabets) to your domain, making it look like `example12456f57GJ4.azurewebsites.net`. Turning off the radio button keeps your domain clean and professional, like `example.azurewebsites.net`.
Step 6: Review and Create
After filling in the details, click next and go through all the steps providing information. At the end, hit Create – and boom! Your website will have its identity within a few minutes.
Want to host a Coded Website?
If you want to host a coded website (not WordPress), don’t go for App Services, rather choose Storage App. The process is similar, but this option is tailored for non-WordPress sites.
Final Thoughts
Hosting your WordPress website on Azure might seem daunting, but with these steps, you’ll have your site up and running in no time. Azure’s powerful platform ensures your website is secure, scalable, and always available.
