Hi I need to buy a subscription in azure with two DB and 1 Basic App. Anyway I don't understand what stand for instance * hours. I wrote an B2B site in aspnet that has to be run in this subscripotion.

For starters, there are 4 question in this question.

Well, instance * hours means you will have to pay X of some currency for every hour or every instance working. So 1 instance working for 20 hours = 20 hours billed, 5 instances working for 20 hours = 100 hours billed.

Hours are calculated pretty straight forward, once you've created App Service Plan you are being billed constantly, until you delete it.

Yes, WebApp's are scalable. And for the How can I calculate or know how many instances I need? we can't help you. It depends on your load. You would need to do some performance testing emulating actual load.

Also, check out the pricing calculator.

edit in Instances: So when you create a WebApp it has 1 instance initially. Instance is a VM hosting IIS that is hosting your WebApp. When you scale it, you create additional instances (VM's) that host additional IIS instances that host copies of your WebApp.
