They really need to cut prices. I created a card-lookup site for a collectible card game (http://www.lotrlcg.com/).

Originally it was written in PHP and was on regular shared hosting through InMotion Hosting for about $5/month.

I rewrote it in ASP MCV and hosted it through Azure and they are charging about $20/month - a jump that I was not expecting. The convenience of being fully integrated into the MS stack is great, but I was planning on moving everything with project I start. Hopefully the price difference will be good enough to stay.




$5 to $20 doesn't even raise itself above the noise for most people. The net gain for deployment with web deploy is enough on its own.
