Hello and welcome to Stack Overflow!

Assuming you're trying to publish to an Azure Web App, if you're not sure about what the Server and Site names are, I'd suggest you download the .publishsettings file from the Azure portal using "Get publish profile" option, and import that into VS. Check this section for a detailed walkthrough.

It would usually look something like this:

Or if you have an Azure VM as the publish target, use the Azure Virtual Machines option in the publish wizard to simplify deployment.
