How to: Diference between Dedicated & Shared server

Hello all,
Forgive me if I say anything wrong. I am a noob. Is it possible to tell whether a site is hosted on a shared or dedicated server other than going to the hoster?...
I am trying to find out were my site is hosted: dedicated, vps or shared. I have access to the CP and on one of the screens it says Virtual server, but I am not sure whether this is a definite sign that the server is shared/VPS.
I'd much appreciate an expert input.
Thank you all...

Did your provider give you root access?
Even with root access if your server is showing Virtual server you are most likely on a VPS package.

Did you receive a release letter of any type when you purchased the account? This should contain the information you would need to determine what type of account it is.
