What is a Semi-Dedicated Server?

A Semi-Dedicated Server is very similar to a Virtual Private Server, with a few small, but very crucial differences.

A Semi-Dedicated Server acts more like a powerful shared website hosting package, however only few accounts will be place on a single, powerful server.

It is similar to a Dedicated Server, but not exactly, because it is shared with a few customers.

When it comes to a comparison, the Semi-Dedicated Server will easy overtake the Virtual Private Server.

When it comes to a flexibility or privacy, the Virtual Private Server can be easily be rebooted at any time you like (because it acts like an independent virtual machine).

So, the sum things up, the semi-dedicated hosting packages are generally used by clients that already have a shared hosting package, or for new clients that need more power in terms of hardware resources.

In some cases, your website may need more CPU power, more bandwidth or disk space, etc. Since the Semi-Dedicated servers of Website Hosting UK provide unlimited disk space and traffic, I believe that they are an ideal solution for those web-sites that are way above the average and we strongly recommend you take a look at what they have to offer.
