Asp.net -> Azure, Amazon or other?

Hello,

I would like to develop an asp.net application. Because the budget is low at first it would be important so as the price would be as low as possible.

This would be a new software with a few users at start (20-50) and then hopefully after some time maybe 1 000 - 1 500.

If I am not mistaken I need a Windows server and Microsoft Sql server database.
I own a Microsoft Sql server license.

What do suggest: Azure, Amazon or other (like Hetzner) and why?

Thank you

For indicated number of users one Windows server (dedicated or VPS) will be enough. I think you can even start with some hosting plan first - then increase your "server power" gradually.

If you decide to use some cloud - then my voice is 100% for Azure since
1. It's PaaS - so you will not need to care about server setup, security issues, etc.
2. ASP.NET application are native there - everything is configured out-of-the-box.
3. You will be able to publish your project into the cloud by one-two button clicks right from Visual Studio.
