Can you use a desktop PC as a server?
While its possible to use a desktop PC as a
server, keep in mind that desktop PCs are
designed and optimized for individual
productivity, not network productivity.
Compared to PCs, servers are specially
optimized and certified for Network Operating
Systems, provide more room for expansion,
and offer special server management tools and
features to ensure data integrity, reliability, and
security in a networked environment.
For the same price, a dedicated server is the
best value for the money.
