Hello Community

After an ASP.net application using C# and SqlServer
is completed and in IIS as a virtual directory what is necessary
for it to discontinue using the project name and use a url to access
the website like "www.somename.com" for example?

If your host machine of your application doesn't already have a domain
name, you need to register a domain name and points your domain name
to the IP of your host computer. You can do this in your account with
the domain name provider.

Then (assuming you are hosting more than one domain name), when you set the
site up in IIS add the domain name in the site bindings. That way you can
host multiple sites with different names.
