A few Noob questions

[Steven Palmer]

Guys forgive me for my ignorance, but what is a "dedicated server"?

I've been trying to race online via steam but there seems to be a lot of lag,and very few opponents I'm guessing a dedicated server is just that somewhere I could race like minded indiviuals on a relatively lag free server

so how do I join these "dedicated servers"?

thanks in advance
