    Buying your own server is a better approach so i would recommend it :)

    No, Unless you are getting a CDN. Cloud offer more scalability and redundancy.

    Both have a great option as server gives you full control of it and even in cloud computing is a new unique method of handling networking, information transfer, and sharing capabilities. so i will recommend you to have server.

    I went server - the cost of space and bandwidth with cloud was about 3 times as much
