Should I use microsoft azure for my website?

Question

Microsoft Azure

Hi all! Faced with the problem of choosing a hosting. It takes about 1-2 GB of RAM, 1 core, disk to start VDS. pr-in on SSD about 25 GB. The online store is quite voluminous, but there will obviously not be a lot of traffic at the start. Advised to use microsoft azure program biz spark. As far as I understand, we will have free site hosting for 1 year, and then $ 150 / month. Do you think it is worth using for 1 year, and then either transfer to a regular VDS, or if the project shows a good start by this time then continue using microsoft azure? And, as I understand it, $150 is the minimum price for hosting sites?

Answer 1

$150/month is not serious.
If you really want freebies, then AWS is free for a year. Of the minuses, this is the location of the USA and a 20 GB disk.
Another option is Arubacloud . The disk is also 20 GB, location Europe, 1EUR
In general, the Russian market is full of good and inexpensive VPS. For example Simplecloud .

Answer 2

The car you want is now 10-20 bucks a month. If initially such finances are a difficulty for you. Do as advised.

Answer 3

An online store, IMHO, is not the type of web projects that require a cloud under it. And the clouds, that openwork, that avs, are quite expensive. And if this is a new store with countless unknowns, then you can really sit down here. In my opinion, it is easier to develop a high-quality deployment system and change VPS as you grow.

Answer 4

yes, take any decision, there is no difference at the start
