#REDIRECT [[Dedicated hosting service]] |

The term '''dedicated server''' refers to an advanced form of [[Web_hosting | web hosting]] in which the customer rents, and has complete control over, an entire [[server]]. [[Internet]] connectivity is provided to the server, in many cases over 10 or 100 Mbit/s [[Ethernet]]. Dedicated servers are most often housed in [[Data_centre|data centers]], similar to [[Colocation_centre|colocation facilities]], providing redundant power sources and [[HVAC]] systems. |
|||
The term '''dedicated server''' is also sometimes used to refer to a game [[server]] for games such as [[Counter-Strike]] in which a computer runs only the [[server]] portion of the game; the game is usually not played on the same computer as the server. This typically results in the server being able to handle several more concurrent connections, as the computer is not bogged down with tasks such as the rendering of graphics. |
