I presume you've tried Windows Azure?

  Isn't azure more of a PaaS than a IaaS?

    It has both: http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/pricing/details/#virtual-machines http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/pricing/details/#virtual-m...

  Azure IaaS is even more expensive on a small scale (though it does get cheaper as you scale up). Azure PaaS would fit the bill very nicely, but someone at MS completely dropped the ball: you have no option of using SSL + your own domain! You can have either your own domain name or SSL w/ their subdomain. Who the bleep would settle for that? What kind of "enterprise solution" is this?

    You probably mean the Azure Websites service. It doesn't support SSL on custom domains yet, but it's a preview version. That feature is expected before this service is released. The PaaS offer per se is called Hosted Services and it does support SSL on custom domains.[1] The price for the IaaS offer for a small Windows VM is $0.08/h ($57.60/month).[2] EC2 pricing for a small Windows VM is $0.115/h ($82.80/month).[3] [1] https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/common-tasks/enable-ssl/ https://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/common-tasks/...
