We'll let you in on a little secret: most "dedicated" plans from the big online hosting providers are really just virtual machines, sometimes with dedicated resources and sometimes not, but always crammed onto a server with other customers. Why should you care? First, because you'll more than likely be paying way too much for what really amounts to nothing more than a fancy VPS, and second, because there can be substantial performance differences between a virtualized "dedicated" server and a true, single-tenant, bare-metal option. How to tell if you are in a virtual environment.
