You don't have to be eligible for a trial. Everyone can open a trial account with 200$ for 3 months. Additionally Azure App Services has a nice free tier which, if your needs are basic, might even let you run free forever. Disclaimer - I work for Microsoft.

See this example: https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/build/get-started/aspnet-4-ci-cd-azure-automatic https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/docs/build/get-started/as... The CPU minutes/day come from serving your site's HTTP requests and the like.

- infogulch 9y agoThank you for the explanation. I learned something today. (To be fair the site is not clear.)
