I have multiple websites in my windows azure account, all are required to run in FREE mode. for one website i need to change scale option from Free to Reserved however all my websites will get affected with same scaling.

Why this happens?

Is there any specific reason for this type of behavior?

If so then how it would be charged for 5 websites when only 1 requires to run in Reserved Mode?

Thanks.

The way it works today: When you change from free to reserved, all of your web sites are converted to reserved. They will also all run on the same set of VM instances. So: If you go with a single Small VM reserved, you're paying for one Small VM, even though all web sites are now running in your reserved VM. And... if you convert back to free mode, all your sites convert back to free mode.

There's also a shared tier. ScottGu blogged about this a while back.

  • Yep--the thought is to give you the bonus of Reserved for all your sites if you upgrade one. – Mlunes Apr 09 '13 at 18:10
  • What if i would like to keep some websites on reserved & and some on free mode. in short can i have different VMs to running different websites or cloud service is alternative for that? – Arun Rana Apr 11 '13 at 05:32
