If you are running some simple web services in a cloud environment, it is generally cheaper to run them on a Linux system

afaik there's not so much difference between a vps/virtual machine running Windows Server or Linux. I.e. for a cloud provider I'm using there's a difference of 5euro on a low level machine (30 euro) and same price for a more powerful machine (110euro for a 4 vcpu 8gb ram 50gb disk)

Mind telling us what provider are you using? It's hard to find a Windows VPS provider at decent prices.

I recommend taking a look at Microsoft's own hosting services (Azure). You can get either shared website hosting or VPSs running Windows or Linux.
