Is There Any Reason To Use Dedicated Server Over Cloud Hosting?

Dedicated servers are still very relevant in the hosting world and are still thought as the most secured hosting solution. Though clouds are being discussed a lot by many enthusiasts, cheap dedicated servers in India are still regarded as better hosting solutions. Here are the reasons why you should still choose dedicated server over cloud hosting –
• Performance of the servers matter and the most essential aspect of hosting services
When a business calculates the performance provided by a server on the basis of per currency unit (say, per rupees), dedicated server is still the best. There is still no hosting solution that can surpass the performance standard of a dedicated server which is properly configured. This becomes that more relevant and glaring when it comes to disk IO. When cloud systems are used, it must be kept in mind that the underlying storage as well as the network are shared among customers. Therefore, there can be significant unpredictability of the disk I/O due to this shared nature.
A business entity with a cloud system may face slowdown if large amount of write requests are sent to the storage array by another customer. Bottlenecks can be experienced byte user if upstream network is shared. When cloud or VPS is used for fixing problems related to performance, the issues usually found is generally disk IO related ones. Within the cloud framework, they are not fixable. This must be kept in mind that most of the cloud vendors are not able to provide faster storage but more storage. You can’t really scale up disk IO. However, with most cloud vendors, you can scale up both Ram and CPU.
This is where cheap dedicated servers in India come handy and with better performance. A single dedicated server that comes with RAID 10 will outperform complex as well as costly cloud offerings, if the operations are relatively simple in nature.
• Redundancy matters
Many people think that clouds are inherently redundant in nature. However, this is not true in entirety. It can be easily said that inherent redundancy of servers are nothing but misconception. In case of cloud computing service, a node is generally not at all more reliable than a dedicated hosting solution. The compute node in case of cloud computing is simply a commodity server without storage. If that node is not existent, it means that the workload is also not there. When you come to a dedicated server, this case can be seen in a similar manner during the failure of power supply.
Hence, it can be said that with regards to redundancy, both clouds and dedicated hosting are on the same pedestal. However, many believe that in this count, dedicated servers are more reliable because of the simple fact that the clouds are basically more complex and at the same time less transparent. In fact, clouds may require more time to set-up, monitor, and maintain. Therefore, Linux or Windows dedicated server hosting is more preferable than cloud systems.
These are the two major reasons why you should choose cheap dedicated servers in India than a cloud hosting solution.
