Most nonprofits assume they must choose between expensive managed hosting or complex DIY cloud setups. But Microsoft Azure offers a $2,000/year nonprofit grant that, when used correctly, allows organizations to run enterprise-grade Drupal hosting at a fraction of the cost.

In this episode, we explore the four hosting paths nonprofits can take — manual Azure builds, DevPanel automation on Azure, traditional managed platforms, and Azure MSPs. You’ll learn the real total cost of each option, which organizations they fit best, and how Azure credits can reduce hosting expenses from $15,000/year to under $500.
