📜 Plan description

D2ads – D96ads v5 (latest generation with local temporary storage)

The Dads v5-series virtual machines are based on the 3rd Generation AMD EPYCTM 7763v (Milan) processor. This processor's frequency can achieve up to 3.5GHz. The Dads v5 virtual machine sizes feature high performance, large local SSD storage (up to 3,600 GiB) and provide a better value proposition for most general-purpose workloads compared to the prior Das v4 VM generation (e.g., more local SSD capacity and faster local disk IOPS).

The Dadsv5 VM sizes offer a combination of vCPUs, memory, and temporary storage able to meet the requirements associated with most enterprise workloads, such as small-to-medium databases, low-to-medium traffic web servers, application servers and more.

You can attach Standard SSDs, Standard HDDs, and Premium SSDs disk storage to these VMs. You can also attach Ultra Disk storage based on its regional availability. Disk storage is billed separately from virtual machines

Azure Virtual Machines gives you the flexibility of virtualization for a wide range of computing solutions with support for Linux, Windows Server, SQL Server, Oracle, IBM, SAP, and more. All current generation Virtual Machines include load balancing and auto-scaling at no cost. For optimal performance, we recommend pairing your Virtual Machines with Managed Disks.

Support for certain Linux virtual machine images in the Azure Marketplace is available from the publisher. In some cases, it’s provided by the publisher for free. In other cases, we charge by the minute for the right to receive support. The total charge for running a Linux virtual machine is the support rate (if applicable) plus the Linux compute rate. Microsoft does not provide support for Linux images in the Azure Marketplace.

IP address options

Every Azure Cloud service containing one or more Azure Virtual Machines is automatically assigned a free dynamic virtual IP (VIP) address. For an additional charge, you can also get:

Instance-level public IP addresses—A dynamic public IP address (PIP) that is assigned to a virtual machine for direct access.
Reserved IP addresses—A public IP address that can be reserved and used as a VIP address.
Load-balanced IP addresses—Additional load-balanced VIP addresses that can be assigned to an Azure Cloud Service containing one or more Azure Virtual Machines.

📄 Editorial Review

Azure is Microsoft’s global public cloud platform, in the same category as AWS and Google Cloud, but with extremely tight integration into Windows, Active Directory, Office/Microsoft 365 and the wider Microsoft ecosystem. It is not a classic web host with cPanel plans; it is a full IaaS, PaaS and serverless environment designed for everything from side projects to very large enterprise systems.
Underneath, Azure runs on a worldwide grid of regions and datacenters, giving one of the broadest footprints in the industry. Each region consists of one or more datacenters tied together with high-capacity, low-latency links, and many regions are split into Availability Zones – physically separate facilities in the same metro – so applications can survive the loss of an entire building if they are architected that way.
From a hosting point of view, several Azure services matter most:
  • Azure App Service (Web Apps) – a fully managed platform for websites and APIs. You push code or containers; the platform deals with OS patching, scaling up and out, load balancing, SSL, deployment slots and integration with databases and storage. This is the closest piece to "managed hosting".
  • Azure Virtual Machines – classic VM-style compute, effectively cloud VPS and dedicated sizes. You control the OS and stack, choosing from many instance families (general purpose, compute-optimized, memory-optimized, storage-optimized, GPU, etc.) and several disk types (standard HDD, SSD, Premium SSD, Ultra).
  • Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) and Azure Container Apps – managed Kubernetes and container platforms for microservices and cloud-native applications.
  • Azure Functions – serverless functions billed per execution, suitable for event-driven workloads and background tasks without maintaining servers.
  • Supporting services – such as Azure SQL Database, Azure Database for PostgreSQL and MySQL, Cosmos DB, Azure Storage (blob, file, queue, table), Azure CDN, Azure DNS, Azure Front Door and Application Gateway. These cover databases, storage, content delivery, DNS, global traffic management, WAF and more.

All of this is managed through a single Azure Portal, plus APIs and command-line tools, so it is easy to mix App Service sites, VMs, containers, serverless and managed databases in one subscription.
The whole platform is heavily localized, with the website and portal available in many languages and pricing shown in multiple currencies depending on the billing region. In practice, Azure behaves like a local provider in many countries, even though the platform itself is global.
In short, Azure is a cloud infrastructure and platform environment, not a shared hosting company. It fits best when there is a need to design an architecture and choose services, not just upload a single site to a panel.
