What Is a Dedicated Server?

A dedicated server is one physical computer in a data centre, rented by a single customer. CPU, RAM, disks and the network port stay with that customer. No hypervisor splits the box among other clients. You get root or administrator access. A VPS is a virtual slice. This is the whole machine.

A dedicated server is one physical computer in a data centre, rented by a single customer. CPU, RAM, disks and the network port stay with that customer. No hypervisor splits the box among other clients. You get root or administrator access. A VPS is a virtual slice. This is the whole machine.

What you are renting

You rent one physical computer in a data centre. Its CPU, RAM, disks and network port are yours for the term. Other customers' sites are on other machines. You get root or an administrator login, and a remote console such as IPMI so you can reach the box when the operating system will not boot. Your own PC can stay off. The server is in the data centre.
