Reseller account for Azure hosting

How can I use Microsoft Azure hosting as the Re-seller. I am in website business and looking for a hosting solution, which I can sell to my customers. What options I have in Azure, can I
become a re-seller or collaborate in this?
Thanks,
Shirish

  • How to replace .mac account with iCloud for web hosting?

    I have a website that I created on MS Frontpage and have been uploading that to my .mac account for years.  Eventually I'll probably change to iWeb, but for the time being I just want to make it active again.  With iCloud, my .mac account was deleted, and I am just now getting around to updating.  The question I have is whether or not this same funcationality exists now that .mac or mobileme is  no longer around.

    iWeb is no longer being developed or supported by Apple but it is still functional under the latest OS X...

  • How to set same domain name for Azure Storage and Hosted Service

    I have a web application running on azure and using azure storage with blob. My application allows to edit html files that are in the azure storage to save with another name and publish them later. I am using javascript to edit the html content that
    I display in an Iframe but as the domain of my web application and the html that I try to edit are not the same, I got and this error "Unsafe JavaScript
    attempt to access frame with URL "URL1" from frame with URL "URL2". Domains, protocols and ports must match".
    I have been doing some research about it and the only way to make it work is to have the web application and the html that I want to access using javascript under the same domain. 
    So my question is: is it possible to have the same domain name in azure for the hosted service and the storage.
    Like this:
    hosted service: example.com
    storage: example.com
    By the way I already customize the domain names so they looks like this:
    hosted service <mydomainname>.com
    storage <blob.mydomainname>.com
    Actually I have my application running in another hosting and I have no problem there since I have a folder where I am storing the files that I am editing so they are in the same domain as the application. I have been thinking in to do the same with Azure,
    at least to have a folder where I can store the html file meanwhile I am editing it but I am not sure how much space I have in the hosted service to store temporary files.
    let me know if you have a good tip or idea about how to solve this issue.

    Hi Rodrigo,
    Though both Azure Blob and Azure applications support custom domain, one domain could have only one DNS record (in this case is CNAME record) at one time. For Steve's case, he has 3 domains, blog.smarx.com, files.blog.smarx.com and cdn.blog.smarx.com.
    > I would like to find a way to storage my html page that I need to edit under the same domain.
    For this case, a workaround will be adding a http handler in your Azure application to serve file requests. That means we do not use the actual blob url to access blob content but send the request to a http handler then the http handler gets the content
    from blob storage and returns it.
    Please check
    Accessing blobs in private container without Shared Access Secret key for a code sample.

  • Can't change Run as account in the Host Access tab for a clustered host

    Gentlemen, we have a bunch of Hyper-V clusters added to hyper-V and most of them have a run as account assigned to them, which we don't want to keep (they were added with a domain admin user).
    However, I'm not able to change it on the clustered host nodes. I can change it on non clustered hosts, no issue.
    I've tried and, of course, removing and re-adding the clusters with another account also fixes the issue, but there is a good number of clusters and it is all production.
    Any other ideas?
    I could also rename the run as account and make sure it has local admin right for all nodes. Is it safe? Any gotchas?
    I've tried powershell, but I couldn't find a command to change the run as account for a clustered host (read-only).
    Thank you,
    JF
    MCITP, MCSE, MCTS

    you're right. once the hosts are clustered, this option is greyed out.
    the only option is to remove the cluster from VMM, and add it again with the right run as account.
    I have not tested to rename the run as account.

  • What is account for logon for first Azure virtual machine?

    I selected build a server farm, but I don't remembering any input for administrator account. How do I setup administrator account for my first Azure virtual machine after it was automagically built as part of a server farm option?

    I am assuming you are talking about SharePoint server farm. 
    After you select New->SharePoint Server Farm, Azure asks you to type in the resource name and then it asks you for usernames and passwords for each virtual machines local administrator.  These are the usernames which you use to access these machines.

  • Manage subscription,billing and Co-Administrator for Azure Account

    Hi All,
    I am new to Azure, I have Windows Azure account. 
    My requirement is like I will create multiple subscriptions under my account for individual clients, I will add clients as Co-Administrators for each Subscription, I have my payment information for paying to Azure and for subscriptions also
    I will pay from my account. I want to make clients able to see their billing information, so my questions about this scenario are:
    1. Does Co-Administrator needs password of Azure Account to logging in to https://manage.windowsazure.com or https://account.windowsazure.com/Subscriptions?
    2. Can each Co-Administrator check his/her subscription from https://account.windowsazure.com/Subscriptions and is able to see his/her billing information?
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks, Dilip

    Hi Dilip,
    Thanks for posting here.
    Appreciate your interest on Azure.
    It is not possible to buy multiple subscriptions for the single account meaning single LIVE ID .  You may buy multiple subscriptions with same account holder but you need to have different Live ID for every subscription.
    You can add users as co-administrators for a subscription using their Microsoft account or organizational account. To do this, you must be a co-administrator or the Service Administrator for the subscription yourself, and you should be designated as a global
    administrator in the directory for the subscription. Adding co-administrators using organizational accounts is recommended
    See Add a co-administrator to an Azure subscription for more details.
    For both of your questions above : Co-administrator will not have access to view  Account information by co-admin's credentials. The only options is to view the account information is by using account owners credentials.
    For further details, you may contact Billing team via
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/options/ , select get support and select the support type as billing.
    Hope this helps.

    Hello,
    There are quite a few typos in your TOS page.
    Incase, you responsibility, etc.
    And on your support page:
    for you web hosting, supirior customer support,

    A number on the FAQ page as well.
    Our network where built, cPane has to offer you! , If there

    Do you maintain your own servers? If so, you might want to
    put in a page on
    that technical info.
    If it's reseller, like for hostgator, disregard.
    Also, just out of curiosity, is it hostly on, or host lyon

  • Security certificate issue for Provider Hosted App (SP Online)

    Hi all,
    I am having a hard time with SP Online debugging a basic provider hosted app.
    Steps I have taken to create the app:
     created a new provider hosted app in Visual Studio 2013 and setting my SP Online debugging site (wich works perfectly for SP hosted apps).
    Chose Azure ACS option, although I do not have an Azure account
    When I deploy the app I get to the page on my debugging site where I must choose "Trust It", but when I do I get the message that the Connection is Unsecure/unsafe:
     How can I fix this? Do I need to create an Azure account for debugging purposes already? Or is there another way to solve the problem?

    Hi,
    I understand that you get Security certificate issue for Provider Hosted App (SP Online).
    Per my knowledge, you need to create an Azure account for debugging purposes.
    To create a SharePoint 2013 app for Office 365 and publish it to an Azure web site, you can refer to:

  • Should I create a new iTunes account for a podcast?

    We are still in the process of getting our first podcast edited and ready to go, along with the website, podcast hosting, etc... But I was curious about when we are ready to submit the podcast to iTunes.... Should I ceate a new iTunes account, dedicated to the podcast, or use my own personal iTunes account to submit. I'm a little hesitant about using my own, since I'm not sure how that affects anything in how the podcast is displayed, or notifications from iTunes. I would rather have communications go through the E-Mail for the domain I have set up for the website/podcast, but it's not the end of the world.
    If it's used strictly for authentication, then it most likely won't be an issue. I just wanted to verify how it is used, and best practices, before submitting our first episode.
    Thanks,
    Mike

    It is just for authentication - no need to create a new account for your podcast.
    Just submit with the one you already have.
    Any changes to your show in iTunes are managed via your RSS feed - not from your iTunes account.

  • The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship

    When I try to log on to my DC it says "The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship". It won't let me log on. I installed another server server 2012r2  (its virtual )
    and I can get to ADSI edit. 
    I think what happened was I had a pc that could not connect without unplugging the network cable. So I found this fix 
    FIX: “The security database on the server does not have a computer account for this workstation trust relationship”2032011
    I’ve seen a lot of solutions, or suggestions rather, with regard to the error in the title of this post.  In my experience, the problem can almost always be resolved without extra domain add/removes and reboots, which is the most prevalent solution I have
    seen around.  Usually, this issue is due to a mismatch between attributes of the computer account in Active Directory and those values on the system itself.  Here are the steps I take to fix this issue when it crops up:
    Open up Active Directory Users & Computers pointed to the domain the computer account resides in
    From the “View” pull-down menu, make sure that “Advanced Features” is checked
    Navigate to the part of your organizational unit (OU) structure where the computer account for this server resides
    Open the Properties for the computer object
    Choose the “Attribute Editor” tab on the Properties dialog box
    Check the Attributes dNSHostName & servicePrincipalName – anywhere that a fully qualified hostname is specified (e.g. myserver.mydomainname.com), make sure that the entry matches the hostname
    you have configured when you go here on your server: Start -> Computer -> Right-Click, Properties -> Change Settings (under “Computer name, domain… settings”) -> Full Computer Name
    As an example, for a fictitious W2K8 R2 server whose Full Computer Name is “srv1.mydomainname.com”, these attribute/value pairs should be in Active Directory:
    dNSHostName:
    srv1.mydomainname.com
    servicePrincipalName:
    HOST/SRV1
    HOST/srv1.mydomainname.com
    RestrictedKrbHost/SRV1
    RestrictedKrbHost/srv1.mydomainname.com
    TERMSRV/SRV1
    TERMSRV/srv1.mydomainname.com"
    Not reading it carefully I add a computer with the same name as the pc having the issue and followed the above. The problem is that I did not notice that the spn did not want the name of my server (serv1) but the name of the trouble
    pc.

  • Diagnostics not working in web role for Azure SDK 2.5.1

    I am working with Azure SDK 2.5.1, mainly on the new designed diagnostics stuffs. However, I found I cannot get it run for my web role.
    So, I created a cloud service project, added a web role. Then, I appended one Trace message at the end of Application_Start in Global.asax.cs:
    Trace.TraceInformaction("Application_Start end.");
    After that, I right clicked the WebRole and opened the Properties tab.
    In the diagnostics config window:
    General: I choose 'Custom
    plan', also specified the storage account, keep the 'Disk
    Quota in MB' as default '4096'
    Application Logs: 'Log
    level' switch to 'All',
    others kept as default
    Other tabs are in default config settings
    After I deployed the project to cloud, I found some unexpected things:
    There is no WADLogsTable exists
    in Table storage. That's very strange, if I use a Worker Role, it would work as expected. So in web role, I just cannot find the Trace logging?
    For the performance counters, since I am using the default config with 8 counters, I can only see 8 in WADPerformanceCountersTable table
    storage. In my assumption, over time, there would be more and more values of this 8 counters transferred to this table. But it was just not happened, after several hours, it still had that 8 counter values.
    I just thought the diagnostics for Web Role just crashed or not working at all. Meanwhile, I checked the logs located at "C:\Logs\Plugins\Microsoft.Azure.Diagnostics.PaaSDiagnostics\1.4.0.0\DiagnosticsPlugin.log" in
    server, at the end of this file there is an exception said some diagnostics process exit:
    DiagnosticsPlugin.exe Error: 0 : [4/25/2015 5:38:21 AM] System.ArgumentException: An item with the same key has already been added.
    at System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2.Insert(TKey key, TValue value, Boolean add)
    at Microsoft.Azure.Plugins.Diagnostics.dll.PluginConfigurationSettingsProvider.LoadWadXMLConfig(String fullConfig)
    DiagnosticsPlugin.exe Error: 0 : [4/25/2015 5:38:21 AM] Failed to load configuration file
    DiagnosticsPlugin.exe Information: 0 : [4/25/2015 5:38:21 AM] DiagnosticPlugin.exe exit with code -105
    From MSDN,
    the code -105 means:
    The Diagnostics plugin cannot open the Diagnostics configuration file.
    This is an internal error that should only happen if the Diagnostics plugin is manually invoked, incorrectly, on the VM.
    It doesn't make sense, I did nothing to the VM.
    As I said above, I just did very tiny changes to the scaffold code generated by Visual Studio 2013. Did I do something wrong or it's a bug for Azure SDK 2.5?
    By the way, it seems everything is ok for Worker Role.

    Hi,
      This issue could be an internal issue, I do not have any update on this as of now. There was a similar issue due to a regression last month that has been resolved, however i dont think this issue is related.
      Please follow the below article on how to enable Diagnostics and let us know if it works.
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/documentation/articles/cloud-services-dotnet-diagnostics/
      I will let you know if I have any update on this issue from my side.

  • How do I set up multiple Creative Cloud accounts for the same login?

    I have a number of Macs of various flavors.  I want to install Creative Cloud apps on four of these units.
    I have a subscription currently which I am using for my MBP 17, and a 27" iMac.
    I want to add an account for my MB Air and Mac Pro, and I'm willing to double my subscription fees to do it.  (I use different apps on each of the computers, though I like the idea of having the ability to use them all on each.) How do I accomplish this addtional subscription without having to add a new Adobe account?

($29.95/mo).  Would I be eligible on my second subscription for the same deal due to the license on the PS 5.5, or would I qualify due to being a Acrobat Pro 8 owner... or Licensed owner of previous versions of PS?  OR.... would I immediately be paying $49.95/mo for the second account?
    Either way, I'm in. Just want to do it all under one account if at all possible.
    Thanks in advance for resolution.  Cheers.

    Currently all subscriptions (with the exception of Team Ready) require a separate Adobe ID for each Creative Cloud Membership. Its not possible to have two memberships under the same Adobe ID.
    Adobe has a Team Ready offering for customers interested in a volume license for Creative Cloud. This is a TLP volume license to Master Collection CS6 and includes licensing for Lightroom and Muse. Customers with this will transition to Creative Cloud Team once available later in 2012. This product uses only a single serial # and Adobe ID. It's not the same as Creative Cloud Membership like what is currently available, but rather a means to get customers setup with something now to transition to the volume license Creative Cloud Team offering once available. If this sounds like something you would be interested in please contact a local Adobe Reseller for more info.
    This link has more info:

    This link can help someone find a reseller in NA

    I just read over the terms of the introductory offer and it is a 1 per customer offer, so it would be 49.95/mo for a second account.

  • Apple ID was created as a Reseller Account, no iCloud?

    Back in 2011, I set up a new Apple ID when I registered for Certification courses for Snow Leopard.
    When I try to log in to iCloud (either on my MBA running 10.8 or my iPad with iOS 6) I get an "Apple ID is Unsupported" error message.
    After 2 hours of researching online and talking to Apple Support (including Senior Tech) we figured out that my account had been created as a Reseller Account, and as such could not be used for iCloud.
    I am not a reseller, nor have I ever been.  Apple is telling me to create a separate Apple ID for iCloud, which goes against the whole idea of the Apple ID in the first place (one log in for all services)
    Has anyone out there run across this problem before? (I know there are)  More importantly, has anyone out there figured out a solution? (other than creating a separate Apple ID for iCloud?)
    I sure hope so.
    Thanks, everyone!

    You weren't hacked, it happened to me too, don't know why. I just remade my account and all my games kept their achievements and progress, so it's all fine.
    Not the greatest solution, but I really don't have a clue.

  • Autoscaling Application block for Azure worker role console app not working. Get error as The HTTP request was forbidden with client authentication

    I have written a console application to test the WASABi(AutoScaling Application Block) for my worker role running in azure. The worker role processes the messages in the queue and I want to scale-up based on the queue length. I have configured and set the

    Hello,
    >>: The service configuration could not be retrieved from Windows Azure for hosted service with DNS prefix 'rmsazure' in subscription id **************
    Base on error message, I guess your azure service didn't get your certificate and other instances didn't have certificate to auto scale. Please check your upload the certificate on your portal management. Also, you could refer to same thread via link(
    http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12843401/azure-autoscaling-block-cannot-find-certificate ).
    Hope it helps.
    Any question or result, please let me know.
    Thanks
    Regards,

  • Exceptional slow batch operation for Azure Table

    I have a VM Medium with an Azure Storage.
    West Europe
    Same Affinity Group
    Different storage account for VM and for my application
    I noted that today, during the afternoon, my storage became very very slow all of a sudden.
    I was happily uploading my batches with the rate of 2 MB/S, and now, suddenly this afternoon, I started to get better than 300KB/S.
    I noticed that my network and CPU activity were very low.
    I started Fiddler, and seen that my batches of 100 KB approximately took 14 second to upload !
    I tested the same program on a VM in a different subscription with different affinity group, the same exact same batch took 200ms approximately.
    What can do enjoy my full speed again ? Seems like a mouse is eating the cable of my rack.

    Update :
    I eventually it the threshold with a new table, my insert on the other table are starting to take more than 2 seconds to process, and it goes up with time.
    So, insert is not constant, but depend on partition's size. Is it normal ?
    Niranjan Nilakantan of Microsoft said
    If the key for your logical data model has more than 1 property, you should default to (multiple partitions, multiple rows for each partition).
    If the key for your logical data model has only one property, you would default to (multiple partitions, one row per partition).
    We have two columns in the key to separate what defines uniqueness(PartitionKey and RowKey) from what defines scalability(just PartitionKey). 
    In general, write and query times are less affected by how the table is partitioned.  It is affected more by whether you specify the PartitionKey and/or RowKey in the query.
    If this is true, there is a real problem with my storage node.
