A key benefit of running your apps on Azure Websites is that the cloud gives you the ability to scale out seamlessly. Instead of buying new servers, you simply drag your Instance slider to get more machines. Instead of having to deploy and configure the additional machines, Azure Websites ensures your data and apps are available from all instances immediately. The sizable array of 10 instances available in regular hosting plans is more that most customers will ever need, but for some larger customers it isn’t always enough to deal with high-traffic sites or Web services. If this is a situation that you find yourself in, we are happy to accommodate!
Starting today, Azure Websites supports above 10 instances. If you’re finding that you need more, simply contact your account manager at Microsoft. If you’re not a premier customer, simply call in to Microsoft support and talk to one of our engineers. We will work with you to meet your needs as well as look at additional ways to help you optimize your deployment and save money!
