I'd like to invite you to try AppHarbor. We provide Windows application hosting on top of AWS, and strive to deliver a higher quality of service than Azure. We're standing by if you need help to migrate immediately. We do a number of things to keep our platform and your apps more available. For instance we set up reminders before our certificates expire...

The thing that stops me starting to use apphb is the paid hostname, it is very backwards to feel like geocities all over again to host a simple Nancy blog. The service itself is amazing and congrats on the platform.

  Thanks for your input! I'm glad to hear you like the platform. I think it's worth noticing that a bunch of services (including a worker) is included on the free plan. The $10/month to run a full app with custom hostnames is actually pretty cheap when you take that into consideration. If your app/blog is focused on the .NET/Windows developer ecosystem you can apply for inclusion in the community application program (https://appharbor.com/page/community-application-program https://appharbor.com/page/community-application-program). If included we'll pay for your app.

I have used Appharbor in my class to host a Web Pages project (Basically the prof made the whole class host it). My experience is , that while the customer support is good. The Service I used ( the free one) was a bit slow. My site took quite sometime to get loaded ( around 5-10 secs where my page weight was around 300-400 KB ) , the same page took less than a second on my local service. But all in all I really liked AppHarbor :)

  The free worker is allocated the same amount of resources as paid ones, so that shouldn't be the problem. It definitely sounds like there must have been an issue somewhere if you experienced that kind of performance difference. I don't think it was related to the page weight (unless you're on a very slow connection), nor the platform for that matter. I hope we were able to figure out a solution or give you advice on how to resolve it :-)
