A dedicated server is a single computer in a network reserved for serving the needs of the network. For example, some networks require that one computer be set aside to manage communications
between all the other computers. A dedicated server could also be a computer that manages printer resources. Note, however, that not all servers are dedicated. In some networks, it is possible for a computer to act as a server and perform other functions as well.

In the Web hosting business, a dedicated server is typically a rented service. The user rents the server, software
and an Internet connection from the Web host.

Another point to add, a dedicated server allows you to add user specific applications without any restrictions on the cpu/memory. ie it will give you most flexibility in case of software configurations. We can allocate the server parameters to specific websites/users for maximum performance.

Dedicated server hosting is simply renting an entire web server from a dedicated web hosting provider. The hard disk storage space is usually of high capacity and the technical support quite thorough. The dedicated hosting option allows you the ability to maintain a large website while not having to be concerned about employing the staff to support it.

Dedicated server hosting is powerful, yet expensive. If your sites don't require a huge resource, you shouldn't.

Dedicated hosting facilities are meant for individuals and big businesses who are eager to take control of not only their websites but also the functioning process of the web host.

Dedicated server is a type of Internet hosting in which the client leases an entire server not shared with anyone.
--It is more flexible than shared hosting, as organizations have full control over the server(s), including choice of os, hardware, etc.
--Dedicated servers are most often housed in data centers, similar to colocation facilities, providing redundant power sources and HVAC systems.

The hosting company provides you with an entire hosting setup including your own server hardware that only you can use. This means a much faster loading time for your site because the entire computer is "dedicated" to running the server software. A dedicated server makes sense for web sites that require higher availability and higher data transfer rates.

Good post about dedicated servers
A socket listener that can perform the functions of a program is called a dedicate server.

What Is A Dedicated Server?

Some web hosting companies also offer dedicated server hosting in which the server is the sole property of the customer and is not shared with other customers of that web hosting provider. Normally dedicated servers are required by business websites which receive enormous traffic every month that cannot be satisfied by a shared web hosting service.

Additionally, a dedicated server also ensures secure transfer of information along with the ability to use customized applications such as e-commerce payment engines or complex databases. if the client is responsible for the maintenance of the server in which case he needs to have all the technical expertise or resources, then it is simply dedicated server hosting.

On the other hand, if all aspects of the dedicated server are managed by the hosting company itself, then it is referred to as a managed server.
