I recently discovered about Microsoft's BizSpark program and I must say, I'm really tempted to try and build up a side project just so I can apply to BizSpark and have tons of free resources to build my side project. I love .Net and I think Azure is really good, even if the article says it's too cumbersome for a small project. I think the fact that developers can forget all about server configuration and implementation and just start a VM in one click is nice.

AppHarbor makes hosting projects of any size much easier than Azure, check it out: https://appharbor.com/

This seems really good. I might give it a try in the future. Their "add-on" services look really cool to use also.
