Move App Service from old Subscription to new Subscription without changing the name of App Service

Question

Hi,

I have a Healthcare Bot, an App Service, and some other resources in one of my subscriptions. Now, I want to move these resources to a new subscription within the same tenant.

I want to move them without changing the name of the App Service because I want to continue using the previous URL.

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this.

Thanks!

Hi Arslan Amjad,

You can move your App Service and other resources from the old subscription to the new subscription within the same tenant without changing the name of the App Service. these are some steps that you can consider

Check that both subscriptions are part of the same Microsoft Entra ID tenant.

You need to move all App Service resources to subscription, including the App Service itself and any associated resources.

The destination resource or when you are moving to other resource group must not have any existing App Service resources.

when you are changing, the inbound IP address for the App Service will not change, allowing you to continue using the previous URL.

Make sure to delete and upload any TLS/SSL (Transport Layer Security / Secure Sockets Layer) certificates to the new subscription, as they cannot be moved directly. These certificates are used to secure your App Service’s HTTPS connections, and if they are not properly transferred, your website could face security warnings or connection issues.
