Hi Gustav: It all sounds very good. Have you started testing software on Azure yet? If you want to get away from the big companies, for Cloud hosting, there is also some excellent rates out there. Here is one example: https://www.digitalocean.com ...and... https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing You can get one TB on SSD drives for $5.00 a month and with a code add another month free. No price increases after the initial month(s) are up...it is just the regular rate and a large number of droplets to choose from...deploy a site in around a minute...or you can rent space by the hour for testing projects.

No guessing.
