At GlowHost, we often get asked, “What is the difference between your shared hosting plans and semi-dedicated server hosting plans?” Now is the perfect time to write a blog entry to help our current and prospective customers understand the differences between our shared hosting plans and semi-dedicated server hosting plans. And I would like to introduce why GlowHost semi-dedicated servers are the best in the industry.
Semi-dedicated server hosting vs. shared web hosting
Semi-dedicated server hosting is very similar to shared web hosting. In fact, a semi-dedicated server behaves like a shared server in the sense that multiple accounts are on the same server with other users. But the difference, compared to conventional shared hosting, is that with semi-dedicated hosting, there are fewer accounts per server. Since each account only gets a percentage of the total server resources, you can enjoy the reliability and performance of a dedicated server, but at a fraction of the cost.
