Today a lot of content on Internet is generated using JavaScript (specifically by background AJAX calls). I was wondering how web crawlers like Google handle them. Are they aware of JavaScript?

My question is pretty simple: does hosting a website on Windows Azure, require 24 "compute" hours per day? That is, what would it cost me to host a website for a month, storing 1GB data, with 1GB transferred out per month?
