Can Microsoft Azure be used as hosting?

Question

Social media

there are two projects, both are social networks in terms of architecture (user correspondence, being on the site, uploading photos, sending sms and transactional letters)
, I don’t understand at all whether Azura is suitable for this.
I just saw that they offer $ 27,000 for startups (conditionally, as I understand it, this is a very long trial period), although the more resources you order, the faster everything burns out

Answer 1

Yes, you can.

Answer 2

Can. But you understand that it's like "the first dose is free" :)
And then it will be much more expensive than hosting.
