I have a small website in ASP.NET Core Razor Pages. Number of visitor will be low (max 1000 per day, but probably no more than 500).

My questions:

  1. Is it OK to deploy the website to the D1 Shared plan (which I'm using for testing now)?
  2. If I understand correctly it will cost me around €9/month. Is this right?
  3. What does it mean "240 CPU minutes / day"? Is the website offline in sleep mode when not in use?
  4. What will happen if I go above 240 CPU minutes / day (is it possible?)?
  5. I like the Azure panel and configuration screen but is there a better alternative (not a VPS) to host a small website like above?

1.As you may know, the D1 Shared plan is for test / develop, not for production. And it only supports 240 CPU minutes / day, so 500 or 1000 visit per day may exceed this limitation and cause some problems. It's not ok.

2.It will cost you about €8.003/month. Here is a screenshot from the pricing page:

5.Another solution without considering other cloud service(like google cloud etc.), if you don't mind re-writing you site, you can consider using azure static web site which is more cheaper(the limitation is that it can only host very simple site).
