Heroku - Transfer domain name befor deployment - heroku

I have reserved a domain name with another hosting provider that I would like to transfer to Heroku before deploying my application. Indeed, the domain name transfer takes up to 2 weeks and I would like it to be transferred as soon as possible so that I can deploy my application on this domain name.
So, can I import my domain name without deploying my application?
Thanks.

Can I make a free custom domain in a hobby app in heroku?

Can I make a free custom domain in a hobby app in heroku?
I mean: Can I create domain named https://mydomain.com not https://my domain.herokuapp.com? and how?
It is possible if you have your domain registered. Go to your project settings. Domain > Add Domain : Add your domain. Copy the DNS target and use in your hosting provider. (There are several tutorials on the internet for the most varied providers).

Redirect from generic Heroku domain to custom domain

I have an old version of a web app which was deployed using Heroku to a generic Heroku domain i.e. https://abcdefg.herokuapp.com/
I have a newer version of this web app deployed separately using Azure at a custom domain i.e. https://www.abcdefg.com/
However many users are still using the old Heroku domain and are going to the old version of the app.
Is there an easy way in the Heroku Dashboard to redirect from the generic Heroku domain to another domain i.e. my custom domain in this case?

How do I link domain name with server?

I have developed a MEAN stack application. Now I want to host it. I have bought a domain name from BigRock.in and server from Amazon. I am able to run the application on the server and access it like using below URL,
ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
But in order to link my domain name with my application I am confused.
After lot of googling I have the below points,
Create A Record which maps the domain name with the Elastic IP.
Hence I have created an elastic IP for my instace. Below is the image. But I have no idea where to create this record on BigRock site.
When I mailed to the support team at BigRock they told me that I have to contact Amazon to get the name server details to update in BigRock. But I don't have the priviledge to ask Amazon support since it's a free account.
Below is the Name server screen shot that is where I have to update the name serve details of my server. (Names in the below image are by default.)
Can some one who has hosted using BigRock + Amazon or someone who has idea about how to get the name server from Amazon and update it BigRock can share their knowledge.
P.S: I know it's not a programming question but I am not sure where to post this other than SO.
If the server you selected is free or not that's not a big deal for them. they should provide support to configure their server with the domain you purchased. to do that login to your Amazon account using given login details and open up a 'Support Ticket.' and ask from them about name-servers values and give those into your domain purchased place. they will be configure your domain with the given name servers.

Web Deploy Backup for Single service or application

I've been following the following link for our automatic deployments:
http://www.iis.net/learn/publish/using-web-deploy/web-deploy-automatic-backups
However, we group lots of web services under a single site so we don't have to use multiple host names to bind to each service. The problem with Web Deploy is that it backs up the WHOLE site will all of our services.
We only want to backup a single application underneath the site. How is this possible with Web Deploy and backups?

Create CRM Organizations on Load Balancing network

I'm trying to understand how to create CRM Organization on Load Balancing network.
I've three web servers (Web01, Web 02, Web03); three application servers (App01, App02, App03) and a SQL Server (SQL01). I already have Load Balancer setup and there is already one organizaiton setup by someone on all web servers. This organization is Internet Facing. Now I want to create one more Organization on same set of Web Servers. Can anyone please help me understand how to setup new Organization on Load Balancer in this scenario?
An important point to know is that there is a difference between a CRM deployment, and the organizations deployed.
The deployment consist of one or more CRM Server, and a SQL Server that can be clustered. A different server can be used as ReportServer and an Exchange Server can be configured as the email router.
Once the servers are deployed, one or many organizations can be configured using the CRM Deployment manager, on one of the front-end CRM Server. All the front-end (load balanced) server can be used to access any organizations configured in the deployment, based on the current user's credentials. When configuring the organization, the Report Server that should be used is assigned to the organization.
Also, if you are using IFD (Internet Facing Deployment), every organizations should have their own DNS entry (orgId.theprefixchoosen.mydomain.intra) that is pointing to the load balancer's IP address, so that CRM can route the users to the appropriate organization. More can be found in Microsoft's documents on configuring IFD.
Creating the new org is no different that normal. You would do this via Deployment Manager on 1 of the servers. This will basically create the needed SQL DB and associated ocnfig entries. To get the IFD portion working, you will also potentially need to add DNS entries to route traffic for that new orgname to your servers.
