A game server is commonly known as Host. A game server is a server that functions as the source of authority for events, in a video game, which is played by a number of players, at a time.
The game server is always transmitting sufficient data about the server’s internal state. This allows the clients, those are connected with the game server, to be able to maintain their own correct version of the video game world, that is to be displayed to the players. The game servers are also receiving and processing inputs of every player.
A
dedicated server in a game helps in simulating the game world but it does not support any input or output, those are sent directly. The only inputs or outputs those are supported by a dedicated server are sent for administration. The players have to connect to the dedicated server using separate programs for clients. Only then the players can see and interact with the video game.
This dedicated server is most suited for hosting in
data centres those are professional. Dedicated server is reliable and provide top level performance, when hosted in professional data centre.
Hosting from a distance helps in eliminating advantage of low latency. Any player may hold low latency as an advantage since the player connects to the dedicated server from either the same machine or using the local network.

tier 3 data centres in India protect the user from the problems of down time.
