3 questions about Windows Azure Website Preview service (placing my website into cloud):
1. A little embarrassing, but I can’t find my FTP credential. I tried my website setup credential as well as the data source string. Both are not applicable. So where is it?
2. I also need database access too, but can’t seem to find the entry URL for that as well. Any inputs are appreciated.
3. Finally, I bought my own domain. How can I do an alias (maybe from Apache or IIS, not sure though) so that users only see example.com instead of example.azurewebsites.net?

    1. You’ll find the FTP credentials in the publish profile. In the Windows Azure portal, simply open the dashboard of that site and choose Download publish profile. Open that file with any text editor and you’ll see the FTP credentials.
    2. If you want to use a database, go to the dashboard of that site and choose to add a linked resource. There you’ll be able to add an SQL Database. Once you’ve done that you’ll see the connection string under Quick Glance > View connection strings
    3. Using your own domain with Windows Azure Web Sites is only possible with reserved instances with a CNAME.
