Semi-dedicated Servers More power for your resource-consuming sites at an affordable price

A semi-dedicated server is, in effect, dedicated server, which is shared by just a few users. Semi-dedicated servers usually lack root access but nevertheless are quite powerful. They are a perfect option if you have outgrown the resources of your shared account but you don't want to deal with server administration tasks which are usually required to manage a VPS, for example.

A Virtual Private Server (VPS) is just a small fraction of a dedicated server which has been configured to act as an independent server. Just like a dedicated server, you will have root access and will have to take care of all server management tasks. A semi-dedicated server also represents a portion of a dedicated server, but it usually does not come with root access and you do not need to deal with any server management.

Semi-dedicated servers are much more powerful than regular web hosting accounts and are therefore more suited to accommodate a resource-hungry website or application. Both semi-dedicated servers and regular web hosting accounts don't offer root access, so you won't have to deal with server management, but you also won't be able to modify the hosting environment.

A semi-dedicated server works much like a shared account - there are a few semi-dedicated server accounts on a single physical machine and they all share the available resources. With semi-dedicated servers, you will not have root access so you won't be able to install additional software and you won't be able to modify the hosting environment. You will not have to deal with any sort of server management either.

If you have a website that is outgrowing your shared hosting account but you don't want to deal with servers and server management, a semi-dedicated is a good option for you. Getting more resources will allow you to keep working on your growing online business presence without any interruptions.

There is no single "best semi-dedicated hosting company". Customers will rate a provider based on how it satisfies their particular needs. This is why, while there is not a single, undisputed "best semi-dedicated hosting company", there is the "best semi-dedicated hosting company" for your specific needs.

A semi-dedicated server is a niche product and there are not that many semi-dedicated server reseller programs on the market. One option if you want to sell semi-dedicated servers is to get a dedicated server and set it up on your own. However, this can be expensive and requires specialized knowledge in server administration. A better choice for beginners would be the semi-dedicated server reseller program offered by us.
