Is it possible to create a Web Server using Azure App Services?

Question

I am new to Azure, that's why this kind of question is coming. From Microsoft website, I read that : Azure App Service is a fully managed platform for creating and deploying cloud applications. Till now, I have been using Apache HTTPD image as container on Openshift and host my static data on it. Now, I am looking to move to Azure (without using container images/kubernetes) and wondering if it is possible to create a Web Server (need not be apache only) using Azure App Services and host my static data on it?

Thanks in advance.
