As of May 11, 2016, Google Compute Engine supports the .NET platform (okay, Compute Engine is a IaaS and not a Paas, like App Engine):

Don’t let anyone tell you that Google Cloud Platform doesn’t support a wide range of platforms and programming languages. We kicked things off with Python and Java on Google App Engine, then PHP and Go. Now, we support .NET framework on Google Compute Engine.

Amazon also supports Windows - for example AWS Elastic Beanstock has features similar to the other PaaS offerings mentioned in this thread.

Apprenda (http://www.apprenda.com). You can run it where ever you want and instantly have a PaaS. Layer it ontop of EC2 and away you go!

Apart from Azure there is also AppHarbor, which actually runs on Amazon infrastructure.

As other have said you're looking for the Windows Azure Platform. The platform consists of the following components:

Windows Azure: Cloud services OS
.Net Services: Services Bus, Access Control Service, Workflow Service
SQL Azure: Cloud database storage, can store database up to 10GB in size as announced at WPDC '09
Live Services: Windows Live integration

The pricing for the could services was announced earlier today at WPDC 2009 and in addition they announced that it would become commerically available at the Professional Developers Conference (PDC) later this year. Util then these services are available free of charge in the form of a Community Technical Preview.
