I would do a dedicated for sure, and make sure they have good DNS and Quality redundant networks.
Please let us know how clous has more points of failure? A goid cloud should only have 1 single point of failure. That is a complete power outage. Are you talking about CDN? There is nothing global about a cloud unless it is built that way, which i doubt most are. If they are, you have to pay double for replication. I know you have responded in other threads about cloud with the same answer and you still dont have much of a clue.
