HTTPS has become a basic requirement for a website, I want to show I added a free SSL certificate from Let's Encrypt to my website running on Azure App Service.

When you create an Azure Web app, you are given an Azure website URL like mine fanray.azurewebsites.net, in this post I will show how to 1) use my custom domain fanray.com instead of fanray.azurewebsites.net and 2) buy an SSL certificate so my site URL can use HTTPS instead of HTTP.
