One of my colleagues has just given me a demonstration of how the new cloud hosting platform "Azure" from Microsoft is integrated with Web Matrix (also from Microsoft). I have to admit I was left fairly astounded at the simplicity of the interfaces, and the ease of use.
If you are looking to set up new websites, and hosting and be able to scale the hosting up and down to meet your requirements, seasonal changes etc then this combination of Matrix and Azure would be one I would give very serious consideration to.
The new Web Matrix is so slick and easy, you really only are a few clicks away from creating websites, installing CMS, template sites etc. and integrating them seamlessly with Azure for publishing and hosting.
