I’m looking into getting a dedicated server and i don’t know much about them. Does it increase the connection or only ram?

A dedicated server can be a server located at the ISP, or the primary server at your location with other PC’s as clients.
A dedicated server at your local ISP is located at their physical location, or access point to the Internet. You will have access to higher bandwidth, generally a T1 line. RAM has nothing to do with your server connection. You will undoubtedly pay a higher fee for having an on sight dedicated server at the ISP.
You can have a dedicated server at home, too. Your dedicated server becomes your host computer and other PC’s will be clients to your dedicated server.
Having more RAM may or may not affect the operation of your server.
What will be the purpose of your dedicated server?
Hi,
When you purchase a dedicated server, you essentially rent it from a server provider online. You never get to see the server physically because it’s located in a remote data center facility. The data center facility is usually a large concrete enforced building with security officers, diesel generators, electrical equipment, and an elevated floor where the customer equipment sits.
Once you sign up for the dedicated server, you will be given a login name and password to login into the server and install the software that you need.
By the way, my name is Joe and I help run a dedicated server business (see the source box if you’re interested). I hope my answer is helpful.

A dedicated server is generally a web or gaming server, etc. Are you purchasing it from a web host? If so, they’ll host it, so it’ll run from their connection to the internet. Its a separate dedicated machine which will have its own bandwidth, ram, storage etc.
