I wanted to add: "Dedicated server" in the cloud business refers to a 1-to-1 mapping between server and physical computer. A "virtual server" is one that maps onto a physical computer when it actually needs the CPU. There are generally two types of virtual servers: A very low-end one running ARM or Intel ARM slower than your typical 1.3GhZ laptop, and a very high-end one typically used for CPU-bound applications. The cheapest dedicated host on AWS costs $370/month: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/dedicated-hosts/pricing/ https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/dedicated-hosts/pricing/ So Matrix is misusing cloud terminology when it says "dedicated server."
