Re: What is a Dedicated Server?


It is when you have one machine (server) for your web applications only (no other people's website or anything else there). It is dedicated to you only and you have admin access (Root and etc.) to server.

When you get dedicated server you have to be ready to manage it on your own.

There are also "Managed dedicated servers". That means that the server provider does server maintenances for you.

... you can also see Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dedicated_hosting_service)

You've already been given the answer in the posts above, use actually that's the case when you can use all the server's resources, but also the server administration becomes your responsibility or you can pay your host for server management.

VPS is a virtual dedicated server, that's the option cheaper than dedicated but giving you almost the same resources as dedicated server.
