- Microsoft Azure Pricing
Our Solutions
Our Microsoft Azure services are available in the Azure public cloud, on-premises, and in hybrid configurations. Our Azure pricing is determined by a variety of factors, including the type of service, the required capacity, the location, and the level of management.
We follow the “pay as you go” pricing model for the majority of our Azure services. Furthermore, we provide significant discounts for reserved instances (which require a one- or three-year commitment) and spot occurrences (virtual machines from Azure’s spare capacity that can be terminated at any time).

MICROSOFT AZURE PRICING MODELS
Here are our five different Microsoft Azure SQL Database Pricing options:
Pay as You Go:
Go4hosting allows you to pay for Azure services based on actual usage that are billed per second, with no long-term commitments or upfront payments. Our pricing model gives you complete freedom to increase or decrease resources as needed.
Flexible Pricing:
With Azure's auto-scaling features, you can scale up or scale down your virtual machines (VMs). This pricing model is best suited for users who prefer flexibility and prefer to translate capital costs to operating costs, as well as applications with volatile or short-term workloads.
Reserved Instances:
Reserved Virtual Machine Instances (RVMI) are virtual machines pre-purchased in a specific region for a period of one or three years. Upon committing to reserved instances in advance with us, you can save up to 72 percent on pay-as-you-go prices. During the commitment term, you are allowed to replace reserved instances with others. You can even cancel reserved instances before the end of the term, but there is a fee for doing so.
Customized Plans:
We offer tailored-made plans best suited for applications with consistent, ongoing usage, organizations with a fixed budget, or large-scale applications with a fixed number of virtual machines. Whatever you need, we have got a plan for it.
Spot Pricing:
We provide cheap Virtual Machine Scale Sets (VMSS), an autoscaling mechanism with which you can manage groups of VMs and automatically add spot instances based on predefined policies. You can purchase unused computing power at up to a 90 percent discount off pay-as-you-go prices. Spot instances can be thwarted at any time. They are best suited for distributed, fault-tolerant, stateless, non-urgent, and workloads that can tolerate disruptions.

Azure Hybrid Benefit:
1The benefit is for BYOLs (bringing your own license). Businesses with Microsoft licenses in their on-premise data centers are eligible for our Azure Hybrid Benefit program. If you have Windows Server or SQL Server licenses that you use locally, you can bring them to the cloud. Businesses with a license get a discount on the per-hour cost of the VM. Our Microsoft Azure Hybrid Benefit is available for Windows Server virtual machines, SQL Server virtual machines, and the Azure SQL Database service. Azure Hybrid Benefit, when combined with reserved instances, offers a discount of up to 85 percent.

Azure Price Matching:
3We match the price of comparable services on AWS. Azure Prices are adjusted every three months to reflect changes in AWS pricing. ● Price matching is available for Linux VMs (vs. EC2 compute instances). ● Azure Functions (vs. Amazon Lambda). ● Block Blob Storage ZRS HOT / COOL tier (vs. S3 Standard / Standard-Infrequent Access tier). *We also have a free tier that allows you to use certain services for free for the first 12 months and free forever usage of certain services.

Mainly, Microsoft Azure offers three main types of cloud computing: IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), SaaS (Software as a Service), and serverless functions.
Unless you choose to pay as you go, we will never charge you. You will only be charged for services used over the free monthly amounts if you opt to pay as you go. You may monitor your usage of free services on the Azure website. Do I still have to pay anything if my credit expires or after 30 days?

Azure offers three primary pricing models:
- Pay-as-you-go: Users pay for the resources they consume hourly or per minute, providing flexibility and scalability.
- Reserved Instances: Users can commit to using virtual machines for one or three years at a discounted rate, suitable for long-term projects and predictable workloads.
- Spot instances: Unused Azure resources are available at a discounted price. You can use spot instances for workloads that can be interrupted, such as batch processing or big data analytics.
While both platforms offer competitive pricing, the cost advantage may vary based on workload requirements and resource consumption. Evaluating the pricing structures and utilizing cost calculators to choose the most cost-effective option for your specific needs is recommended.
