I've been using AWS for both Tomcat/Linux and IIS/.Net web applications (haven't used the others).

Overall, the price is good (good enough that I haven't shopped around), and the access for the MS instances are pretty much standard to any remote access and configuration.

For me, the biggest learning curve was AWS terminology, understanding the startup and configuration, and setting the firewall/access rules. This was several years ago, and the tools for these things have become much better.

(I even used their AWS-SDK for Visual Studio to create some mass-AWS management for a client last winter. It was actually pretty easy.)

I would recommend at least trying the free tier for AWS. You get a no-cost tiny virtual machine that you can configure and install IIS and SQL Server, run your app, and see if you like it. As long as you don't have (relatively) heavy data IO, you should be able to test the whole thing and see if you like the service.

If you have any questions, I can try to walk you through the first few steps (the ones that are part of the learning curve)--after that, you should be able to take it on your own.
