You should select 'Use Virtual Host Naming' and set the `Hostname` to a **public dns name** that you own such as one you would purchase from [namecheap](http://namecheap.com). Alternatively thanks to [xip.io]( http://xip.io/) you can just use yourAzurePublicIP.xip.io for free. For example, if your public IP is `44.44.44.44` then you would set it to `44.44.44.44.xip.io`.
