Ok, I've been told many time there's no such thing as a dumb question so here goes.  What exactly is a dedicated server?  If I'm using a web host such as GoDaddy, is that a dedicated server?

A dedicated server is a server to which you are the only one that has access to the files, and you control the contents of the entire server.  You are not sharing space with anyone else, nor can anyone else get to your data.  A web host like GoDaddy is more like a VPS that anything else, and I do not think they offer dedicated hosting at this time.

A dedicated server is a must if you want more resources than what is offered by a shared hosting account, or even if you want to run an application which cannot be run on it.

a dedicated server is when you use a server just for one purpose and all of their resources are just for you, what you have i thnk that it would be more like a managed server
