One of the guy(individual and not a company) got his sort of networking site developed via some development company. Now it's time to host the website. The company who developed his site suggested go for dedicated hosting and will cost over £600 to configure it + dedicated hosting charges.
But he is in doubt as dedicated hosting do cost a lost and mind that it's just a start up. so am wondering if it will be ok for him to go with shared hosting to start with for couple of months and build some user base, interaction and then move it to dedicated hosting.
I know pros and cos of shared and dedicated server but what will be best option as a start up.
Also how is this cloud hosting ? Any better than dedicated server?
Thanks

Cloud could work out best for a startup assuming you can work out the prices! (last time I looked at Azure it was so complex I gave up trying to work out how much I would be up for!)
In principal the great advantage for a startup is that you are paying for what you use - so no visitors and your bill stays lower!

I'd suggest starting with an entry level VPS. For $20-50ish you get a lot more control than with shared hosting; and can easily move to a bigger VPS/dedicated server in the future if needed. (Slacker option, install a hypervisor and have your migrated VM as the only one running on a dedicated box.)

The main advantage of cloud hosting over traditional hosting is flexibility. Cloud also have dedicated / shared hosting plans. So if he is not sure how much and how fast he is going to grow, then cloud is the best option.
Shared Hosting at Windows Azure starts from ($10.00 + $10.00) / Month for Single Website with Database. and if you want Dedicated Hosting from Azure it will cost around $100.00 / Month and you can run as many as 100 Websites.
Amazon AWS also has similar pricing (Windows Azure and Amazon AWS both have almost same pricing). And if he has not used it before they will give $35.00/Month of Single extra small VM free for a year.
AWS is more mature than Azure. Also I have not tried it, but I have heard many good things about Heroku[^].

I have been running a LAMP server on the free tier AWS and have now converted to being a paying customer, still with an extra small server.
The three sites on it isn't terribly busy. The main site with Drupal installed gets approximately 3000 distinct visits doing +- 100 page / product views each. The other 2 have far lower traffic, although all 3 have more concentrated traffic over weekends.
I also run the emails for these domains from the same server, including spam filtering.
Before moving to this server, I was using shared hosting and it could just not keep up...
So I could definitely recommend AWS. I have no experience with Azure though.

We did a half-leg o' sheep on Sunday, and I turned what was left into Rogan Josh on Monday. And I just finished vacuum sealing what was left of that for the freezer. Goes a fair way, half a leg!

The recipe looks slightly adjusted to me.
Swedish coffee isn't espresso, our coffee keeps you awake.
And the recipes I've seen/eaten had beef instead of lamb.
But it looks good still. Bon appetite.

So my new lappy has been painfully trying to update itself for the last couple of days. Started off well enough, albeit a big update, then couldn't 'Configure' them. Right now it won't let me un-select the updates I don't want to install, and then every time I shut the bugger down the same crap begins. It installs 7 updates, then tries to configure them, fails and I am back to square one. The machine has been unusable for two days.
Honestly, I would punch anyone I met from MS right now. Not because it is the right thing to do, not for vengeance, just as a real-life representation of the gross lack of consideration for your fellow man and random f**kyou-ism epitomised by anyone who would foist a system this unreliable, used by so many people, upon the world, in this condition.
It has been years. YEARS. And we poor sods are still dealing with this malarkey.
That is all. Phew.
