Oh I'm sure. I've been in this game a long time, this site alone is 10 years old this year, and every year it gets a little trickier to maintain due to this or that. Digital Ocean recently doubled all their specs and kept the costs the same, which helps. If you've never used Linux before, or never set up a web server from scratch, then VPS / dedicated isn't the way to go. I can see Azure as a good solution for inexperienced people, and that's reflected in the cost. I'd never use it, there's no point seeing as I can get a more powerful server for much less, and just set it all up myself.
That's quite some time, but assume it's gotta get tricky, things are advancing like crazy.
I think VPS is not the way for me; honestly without the control panel (GUI) provided by the host + Visual Studio I'll be dead by now.
You are right about Azure. I also think it's more useful for teamwork on large projects, then its cost would be justified.
Only used Ubuntu once or twice, so I guess it's very early for me to move into a VPS.
