I haven't tried to figure out, yet, what my costs might be going to Azure for my DotNetNuke installation, but I suspect I could save a lot of money. Am I right? What are other spending (and I know that asking this question is not going to give me anything scientific -- but right now, I don't even have a ballpark).

Thanks!

 I have a client that is asking us to investigate this too for them - I am going to try and work it out for Azure, as I have already done so for Amazon and although Amazon S3 pricing is amazing, but the cpu costs are not that good - It seems that only large Instance server from EC2 running multiple instances of DNN makes sense but not cost effective for just one instance of DNN.

I have not even started to looked at it from commercial perspective as it seems to me most instances are using the free stuff from Microsoft for developers with MSDN - which is not a good indicator. 

Pricing Calculator on Azure here and gives some indication of what to expect 

For this customer of mine, it does not look cost effective as with their current resource requirements a medium instance and their current bandwidth and sql requirements makes the predicted cost at nearly 800 USD per months.- This is more than double what they pay now with 1and1 cloud offering which has not failed yet.

 I've pretty much concluded that the Azure route would be too expensive for me. I'm now looking at 1and1 cloud offering, which would lower my costs considerably compared to PowerDNN. I'd be interested in knowing as much about how it's working out with DotNetNuke on a 1and1 cloud server for your client. How is support? Any particular negatives I should consider? Also, I can't tell from its website whether a full version of MS SQL Server is provided, or only Express -- do you know?

Thanks for your feedback. I'm seriously looking at 1and1.

Steve
