Why does Windows Azure Western Europe have U.S IP Address?

Question

Like the question says, I\'m really having a problem where, although I\'ve signed up for a Western Europe Windows Azure VM, whenever I access a site or service from this server

Answer 1

To add on to John's comment above, every Azure IP address is registered to Microsoft in the US. There is no option for support to provide you with a "European IP address" since such a thing doesn't exist in Azure. You should work with the other service provider to explore alternative options to requiring IP addresses registered to a European address since their strategy ultimately won't work as more services move to shared cloud infrastructures.
