Stenis Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 For the last 10 years I've had a dedicated server for hosting one IP.Board site and a couple of Wordpress blogs. This is quite expensive and now I am thinking about moving to Windows Azure. Does anyone have any experience on IP.Board on Windows Azure in terms of cost per load?

TheSonic Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Keep in mind: It was reported, that IPS is not that experienced on Windowshosting and Support may not help you like on linuxplattforms (reported by customers and onfirmed by IPS) I don't know about Azure, but on Windows Server 2012 R2, i confirm it is working fine with a correct Setup (you have to know how to configure IIS and know how to "translate" htacces to web.config (see the kb of Microsoft for further help (https://support.microsoft.com/en-en/kb/324064) ) - or run Apache on Windows I use CentOS for my sites, but tested it on my testserver and technically administrate a license on a production-WindowsServer for a friend of mine. But Keep in mind: It's mainly written for a LAMP-Setup, you have to tweak your Windowssetup a lot more than on Linux and Support is limited.

Works fine if you know how to setup all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
