Will Cloud computing replace traditional dedicated server hosting?

Cloud computing has been the most talked about a chapter in the books of web hosting industry. After Cloud hosting services came into full swing the scenario has changed totally, there were many questions that it has replaced the traditional hosting, replaced the storage network, replaced enterprise architecture etc. But we can say that cloud has become an integral part which doesn't replace anything rather given a new meaning to the existing technology. The major downside of having a traditional file server for sharing is the inflexibility and difficulty in maintaining such a server. Whether you host the server on premises, have a shared hosting account, or a dedicated or collocated server, it is difficult to scale up and down as demand rises and falls. In fact, it's impossible to do so dynamically in real time. That means during slow periods, you may be paying for way more server than you need, while during especially busy periods you may find that you are running out of bandwidth, RAM, or storage space. On top of that, unless you use a managed server, you will also have to be responsible for your own security and maintenance.
