Azure vs Own Servers
-
I currently use a couple of virtual servers for a variety of things e.g. source control, websites, general storage etc. I am thinking of maybe moving the websites across to Azure as you get an allowance with a MSDN subscription, and this would allow me to probably dump one of the VS's. I'm just not sure though. Is anyone here using Azure for small personal websites? how have you found it? (I am not talking about a virtual machine on azure, I am talking about a pure web site) Edit: After much reading and reasearching, I have completely gone off the idea of using Azure for VMs at the moment. I'm just going to stick to a rented VM from my isp for the time being.

Why have you chosen against Azure? I'm in a similar predicament, would like to know what your considerations were.

Hi, The first consideration was machine spec. You get a far lower spec machine for the same money on azure versus rented VMs. The second consideration was bandwidth costs. Again, pay for what you use versus unlimited. With prices changing every few months, this may eventually swing the other way, but at present i'm afraid for my needs, my current non-azure option is more favourable. (I currently use 1and1 virtual private server (windows) https://www.1and1.co.uk/virtual-server?__lf=Static&linkId=hd.subnav.virtual-private-servers[^]) Cheers,
