Using Azure credits to pay web hosting provider
Cloud - Asked by globalcare_main on Tuesday, 21 November, 2017 - 11:11
Hi there, Our company is wanting to move towards a managed WordPress Hosting to alleviate internal staff responsibilities / reducing contractor usage to keep the sites updated. It will also significantly increase the speed. Wondering if Microsoft have select partners that can accept Azure credits as payment for providing web hosting?

Apologies for not directly answering your question (ie. the Azure credits), but having looked at your main site, I thought I'd check if you're across the options alongside managed Wordpress hosting. Winch Websites offers a Websites Care service, for example, which can certainly include hosting provision/management as well as site updates/modifications/changes. One stop shop, in other words! Might be worth seeing what it would cost, to compare with the alternatives that you find. Hopefully someone will accept Azure credits, of course, but if there are costs over & above that, be good to be able to contrast things. :) Feel free to get in touch for a quick chat or drop me an email. Tony

Hi, yes you can use your Azure Credits to pay for hosting a WordPress host. You service provider can then manage the server. In terms of speed increases, this depends entirely on the type of web server. You can also make redundant web servers and leverage CDN's for static content to improve browsing times internationally.
