SQL Azure Pricing and Billing
SQL Azure isn't just a database in the cloud, it's database services billed as a utility, and that means you're going to get a bill each month. Andy does a great job of explaining the basics of pricing and also shows you how to monitor your usage on a day to day basis, good way to avoid end of month billing surprises!

At first glance, SQL Azure seems expensive.
|
|
|
Would perhaps have been useful to know the total monthly cost and what Andy had done to get that cost.
|
|
|
In the exa,ple of database 'size' it was never explicitly stated that the 14 would result in a charge of 14 time $9.99 but this seemed to be implied.
|
|
|
Yes. 14 databases even if they have nothing in them are charged at 14 x 9.99 per month. Really about 0.33 per day.

There is now expanded pricing. The web database can grow up to 5 gb with corresponding charges of $10 per gigabyte. The "Business" database can grow up to 50 gb, with increments of $100 for each 10 GB. Details at the Azure pricing page: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsazure/pricing/
