Q:

Is there an alternative to azure for porting .net applications

We are having a .net application which we plan to move to the cloud. I hear a lot of people say if its .net app go for azure.
Are there any other alternatives for it in terms of ease of porting and pricing
Thanks

A:

You might want to check out AppHarbor. AppHarbor is a .Net PaaS built on top of Amazon. On the one hand you get the portability and infrastructure of Amazon but on the other they provide a number of the rich services that Azure offers such as background tasks & load balancing plus some that it doesn't like 3rd party add-ons, dead-simple deployment and more.

A:

Amazon is a possible option - http://aws.amazon.com/net/
