The dominance of cloud computing influenced several industries, and web hosting Dubai is one among them. There are both positive and negative influences; the latter particularly impacting dedicated hosting services. With cloud hosting now being considered as a viable option by many, the hosting community is now asked to answer where dedicated servers fit in the scenario when cloud and its unlimited resources sound like a much better deal.

That said, the demand for dedicated servers still didn’t go down much in the dedicated server hosting UAE sector, even with the arrival of the cloud. Dedicated servers can in turn provide more benefits than the cloud in certain scenarios. The reasons why dedicated servers are questioned now is partly due to many misconceptions that people have. 

That said, let’s take a look at some of the misconceptions to understand where dedicated servers stand in today’s cloud age. 

• Private cloud is much more secure: Private cloud can be certainly secure. However, the infrastructure and the security solution should best fit the needs of the website and applications. In many cases, dedicated server solutions offer better control, more options, and generally better security standards that meet compliance requirements. 
  
• It’s a hassle to manage dedicated servers: On the contrary, dedicated solutions offer control and flexibility to meet specific application security and performance requirements. It’s quite straightforward, and isn’t as sophisticated as the cloud. You would be able to customize and configure the server as you see fit, as you would be the only tenant on the server. This is not possible in a shared environment. 
  
• Dedicated infrastructure is more expensive than the cloud: This is somewhat true but not necessarily the case in all scenarios. A perfect solution is to use a dedicated server to run predictable workloads, and have the cloud handle spikes. This can save costs considerably, while still allowing the user to customize and configure the entire environment.
  

Conclusion

With the rapid rise of the cloud, many companies offering hosting services in the Domain registration UAE sector opted out of providing dedicated solutions. The more reputed hosting service providers, on the other hand, are capable of designing a hosting infrastructure with a dedicated server that would prove itself more beneficial than a sophisticated cloud infrastructure.
