Masternode on azure

[acidburn]

Does anyone run a masternode instance on Azure? If so, how much does it cost? I might have a way of getting one on the cheap.

I know you can fire up instances of vms in Linux.

$13.40 / month bandwidth excluded

Hmm. I've got £60 a month which gives me a spare VM. Can't see bandwidth costing me that can it?

First 5GB are free, after that you pay per GB

Seems very expensive... You guys tried Digital Ocean? $5 a month per VPS...

It's not if you get it for free ;-)

I use Azure and Windows 2012 servers, I just run the qt-wallet with masternode=1.
It's been about $15/mo on average with the bandwidth charges.

I will search cheaper options and more independent vps providers preferably outside the U.S. jurisdiction when I get the time and energy, I've just used Azure out of convenience.

Windows 2012? I thought it had to be on Linux? How have you secured it?

So is there a way to setup a MN on Windows?
