Semi-Dedicated Hosting FAQs
Semi-dedicated hosting is a hybrid hosting solution: fewer accounts share the server than in standard shared hosting, giving you more resources, isolation, and stability without full VPS complexity.
Compared to shared hosting, semi-dedicated plans host fewer users on the same server, offer higher resource allocations, reduced contention, and better performance. But you still share the underlying server.
You don’t get full root access or total control like a dedicated or VPS, but you get many of the performance benefits (dedicated CPU/RAM allocations, better stability) with less management overhead.
Semi-dedicated is great for growing sites that have outgrown shared hosting — medium-traffic business sites, eCommerce stores, multiple WordPress installations, or multiple client sites.
Yes — semi-dedicated hosting offers guaranteed resource allocations (cores, memory, etc.) plus higher ceilings. Your account should not be affected by other users as much as in shared hosting.
No — you typically won’t have root access. You can manage your account-level settings (PHP version, database, etc.), but server-level configuration is handled by the host.
Only software/modules already supported by the host can be used. You cannot install arbitrary server software that conflicts with global server settings.
Yes — most semi-dedicated plans are fully managed, meaning the hosting provider handles server updates, security, patching, monitoring, and underlying system maintenance.
Typically, a 99.9% uptime guarantee is offered. If uptime falls below that threshold, you may be eligible for service credits per the SLA.
Yes — many hosts offer a 30-day (or similar) money-back guarantee, so you can test the service risk-free.
Security layers usually include malware scanning (e.g. Imunify360), account isolation (e.g. CloudLinux or similar), firewall/WAF, SSL certificates, and daily off-site backups.
Your account is typically backed up daily (or incrementally) to off-site storage for a retention period (e.g. 7 daily, 4 weekly, and 3 months). You can restore files, databases, etc. as needed.
Yes — you can move between semi-dedicated tiers (more CPU, RAM, disk) without downtime in most cases. Some hosts also offer migrations to VPS or dedicated servers when needed.
If usage consistently exceeds your allocation, the host may throttle performance, temporarily suspend over-using processes, or require you to upgrade to a higher tier.
Support is typically available 24/7/365 via our ticket system. The host handles technical tasks like migrations, server maintenance, and troubleshooting.
