installation server

Strange, but 'Aufsetzserver' hardly generates any G-hits.


My answer is based on the way the phrase 'neu aufsetzen' is used in computer parlance, where it means 'to reinstall'.


An installation server is a machine that offers the installation set across the network. If you are likely to want to install a large number of machines, this gives you a way to reduce the amount of work involved in installing systems; after the new system has been booted it can access the installation set across the network, and the bulk of the installation can be done unattended.

An installation server is required for all installation methods. An installation server enables you to install the operating system (Solaris or Linux) and the Netra High Availability (HA) Suite software on the cluster.

hosted/dedicated server

"We'll host the server or you can bring one of your own." I think the original sentence refers to the difference between a hosted server (i.e. one provided by the hosting service/ISP) and a colocated one (i.e. your own hardware parked in the ISPs server room). There isn't enough info to know if the hosted server is dedicated or being shared by multiple customers, but this may be the case. Refer to the phrasing used in the links below.
Example sentence:

We can provide a hosted (dedicated) server for you or you can bring your own.
