Case Study: ezRider achieves affordable, scalable Azure-like cloud hosting with Everleap

I can deploy with one click and updates are seamless. I press a button and it all goes.

ezRider is a hobby site founded by programmer and avid cyclist Neil Baker to help local riders organize group rides. Originally built with ASP.NET and a Microsoft Access backend, the site needed a move to the cloud to support one‑click deploys, MSSQL, SSL and weekend traffic spikes — but Neil found Microsoft Azure’s scaling and SQL pricing complex and potentially expensive for a small, start‑up project.

Everleap provided an Azure‑like, clearly priced single‑site plan that supported Neil’s one‑click deploy workflow, MSSQL capacity, SSL and easy scaling, plus included email and predictable billing. He migrated in under an hour, ran Google AdWords to attract real users, and now enjoys seamless updates, reliable performance and a platform that lets him grow the site globally while keeping costs manageable.
