Definition:
A dedicated server is a Web server that is leased or owned outright. Dedicated servers provide you exclusive use of the Web server resources for your business.
In most cases, you'll have full control of the server, including root access and server administration. Some dedicated server plans provide administration consoles to manage the server. While others require you use helpdesk employees to manage your Web server. Make sure that you know what access your plan provides.
Also Known As: dedicated hosting, managed colocation, managed hosting service
