Good morning everyone! I am developing an entertainment portal where you will have images and text (eg Earth or UOL) using ASP.NET and sql-server. I was analyzing about Azure and I had a question: Is the shared application service similar to the hosting service offered by others (eg Kinghost, Uolhost)? Is that in the Azure documentation, it recommends only for testing. But can I use it for production? Are there any limits or disadvantages to superior services? Thanks in advance for the help!

On Azure, a shared-type billing plan, you can not guarantee a minimum of resources (processing and memory) dedicated to your application. This is why it is not recommended to use this plan as the production plan, because time you will have the maximum available resource - which should be 0.25 core and 750mb memory - and time will not have it, experiencing great slowness.
Ideally, for production environment, you dedicate resources to your application, subscribing Basic plans to the up series. Depending on whether your application publishing process is requiring more control, you can now move on to the Standard series and control publications and experiment with features like slots, etc.
On more limitations, you can see on the Application Services Pricing .

The shared application service is suitable for small sites with little traffic. For an entertainment portal, you'll probably need a higher level, as Thiago said.
Blue's service is flexible and you can change the level at any time; it takes only seconds. You can select the scale of a site in two methods: "scale up" and "scale out". The first, scale up, sets the size of the machine.
(The prices on the image are in GBP and for a center in Europe.) Sorry for the inconvenience, but I do not want to change my parameters. >

If the application is international, you can put it in multiple data centers.
See"Azure Regions, Broad Global Outreach" - link
If the site has lots of images, videos, etc., you could consider the Azure Content Delivery Network -
If your company is "start up", you can sign up for the Microsoft BizSpark program that offers free Azure resources - link
