Semi Dedicated Server Hosting

Linux Business Hosting

What exactly is Semi-Dedicated Hosting?

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.
Who is Semi-Dedicated Hosting for?

Semi-Dedicated Hosting is for users that want more power than virtual accounts often offer, but aren't quite ready to make the leap to a dedicated server. By going with a semi-dedicated server they will be on a machine where they have access to a large portion of the resources, allowing them to run more traffic intensive websites as well as more complex scripts and software. Additionally they get fine grained control over their servers because they are no longer limited by the virtual hosting control panel and are free to have the server tweaked exactly to their likings. It is the perfect intermediary step between migrating from virtual to dedicated.

Server Specification:

Dual Quad Core Intel Xeon servers with 16-32MB RAM with high speed SCSI/SAS drives with RAID, on 100mps ports of multi-homed USA datacenters. Each server runs LAMP with cPanel/WHM ready for migration.
