Railgun than serves this 35% of web page content through a secure network between the Cloudflare network and your host' origin server. Thus, this reduces the usage and overall website loading time.

In dedicated hosting, you use an exclusive server provided to you by your hosting provider. Which means that you don't own that server but some dedicated resources are fixed for your usage.
Whereas, in collocated hosting, you own the server and are allowed to place it on someone else's rack and share their bandwidth as your own.
