Dedicated Server

I want to host a Betting website on sports. My monthly bandwidth exemption will be around 1TB. Also I will require a server which will provide me with high availability and also around 12GB RAM. I would also like to ask that whether I should buy such a server or should I consider it on rent basis.

I would recommend that you lease a server from a reliable hosting provider. As per your requirements, you should be looking for a Dedicated server. For high availability, you can consider server mirroring solution which will include 2 servers of same configuration. In a mirroring architecture, if one server goes down due to any reason or the Hard Drive is crashed, the other server take its place without any downtime which provides you high availability.

Since, you website is resource intensive and would eat a lot of bandwidth I would recommend you to opt for a dedicated server hosting solution, which will ensure an adequate amount of server resources for your betting website. For high availability, scalability a cloud server is the best choice, but looking at your web hosting requirements, I think dedicated server is a better choice...
