A dedicated server is just a server that will keep running, even with your pc off. A regular server closes down once you close out of halo pc. A dedicated server is great because it offers everyone the chance to play while you're gone, and it doesn't waste power because you can have your computer off (If I'm wrong, correct me).
well if you yourself have a good connection, you don't have to rent one.
Servers most likely use T1 connections, which is very fast. It costs a lot to rent a server, I think Iggwilv said he pays $36 a month. If you have dsl, it costs about $20 a month, depending on the service (I have AT&T SBC). For $17 more a month, I think it would be worth it.
