A dedicated server is a hardware computer running server software that is supplied by a data center for a client to use that is dedicated to their own use. It is dedicated to that client’s needs.
A client can put hundreds or thousands of websites on a single dedicated server and can even provide an entire hosting company from one dedicated server. Or a person can put public or private games on the dedicated server so that others can access this server to play the game.
Dedicated servers can be used to manage emails and domains and a dedicated server can be used by a company so that employees can share and access files from wherever they can get internet access.
