What is semi-dedicated hosting?

By admin | April 8, 2008

Semi-Dedicated Hosting is basically dedicated hosting, except the server is shared between a very limited number of users. This may sound like virtual hosting at first, but there are quite a few differences and benefits. Firstly, the number of users per server is kept to a bare minimum, between 2-6 depending on traffic and resource usage. Secondly, each user on a semi-dedicated server has the same tech support as he would on a dedicated server. This means that our technical support staff will tweak everything exactly to your liking, including installing libraries, additional software, tweaking settings on Apache, PHP, or on other system daemons. Basically removing the limitations that are imposed by the virtual hosting control panel when it comes to making the server run exactly how you want it.
