How to setup custom (first level) domain on Basic Azure machine?

Question

I see that I can more or less easily create a custom second level domain aka contoso.cloudapp.net on Azure VM. But I would like to setup a real domain I purchased such a contoso.com without the clouapp.net.

Is that even possible with a Azure VM? Or do I need to purchase something else?

You have to use cname for you new domain to the cloudapp domain .

You can use an alias too . And there is a faq step by step to do that with azure gui or powershell tools .

Are there extra fees for that? I didn't spot out anything. – RayofCommand Feb 23 '15 at 09:48
No added fees if you do that on your dns domain . – YuKYuK Feb 24 '15 at 08:50
