But let me say that I run an Azure site, which is a Microsoft-hosted virtual computer. You can choose any flavor you want, and you can change the details. Need 100Gb and a Windows Server 2017 running on two virtual CPU cores? No problem. Need 10Tb and 16 cores? Go to your billing portal, and thirty minutes later, everything's backed up and online with the new stats. And it's a fully functional version of Windows that you can access remotely; you can set up the IIS exactly how you want it, set up any number of FTP or SQL servers you like.
It's about $100 / month, but any dedicated physical server will cost you about 2x or 3x that, and will almost for sure have hardware that's worse that Microsoft's virtual servers, and shitty service as well.
I didn't use Azure before; but Visual Studio is always reminding me of the cloud. I want to try it TBH; the concept of virtual computing is just so tempting.
Free trial. There are so many options and features that it spins the head, but in a very exciting way.
