You need to be able to configure Apache from scratch... as well as your own mail server (sendmail, postfix, qmail etc.) if you need that. FTP server as well.
With a fresh dedicated box you get a machine that's up and running with SSH so you can login and do what you need.
Apache is usually installed. As well as any other stuff like MySQL if you request it. But they're not configured or running.
