Brand it your way. Our Semi-Dedicated Hosting is fully white-labeled, letting you customize cPanel logos or using custom nameservers. Your clients see your brand, not ours.

Isolation

VPS-Like Resources

Semi-Dedicated Hosting delivers large, isolated resource allocations. Similar to a VPS, but without the need for root access or server management. It’s the perfect middle ground between Shared and VPS, offering power, stability, and simplicity through a fully managed cPanel environment.

Just The Basics.

A Smarter Step Before VPS

Our Semi-Dedicated Hosting bridges the gap between Reseller and VPS. Each account provisioned on a lightly loaded server with signficantly more resources available. Perfect for high traffic sites or high density accounts that want to host more, without the complexity of managing a VPS.

You’ll get better performance, full cPanel access, and built-in security isolation.

A premium hosting experience with no root access required.

Hosting Option?

KnownHost’s Semi-Dedicated Hosting is the perfect middle-ground solution when you've outgrown the resources available in your Shared/Reseller Hosting account, but you're not quite ready for the cost and/or the resources included with VPS or Dedicated Server Hosting.

Don’t worry - outgrowing your Shared/Reseller Hosting account is not a bad thing! In fact you should look at it as a positive. It means your site is growing and it is a sign of being successful. What can be stressful however is choosing the next hosting solution that will power your site. Migrations because of growth are common at KnownHost, so we planned for this situation and have the systems in place to make it happen fast and without fail.

A Reseller service provides you with resources to be utilized for a wide array of accounts. Using this space for anything such as content management systems, email hosting or more. However, these resources are eventually only so high which limits the amount of growth that can occur with Reseller. That's where Semi-Dedicated comes in.

Semi-Dedicated provides a larger swath of resources providing even further scaling then what a Reseller is able to offer. In tandem with this, you're provided a Dedicated IPv4 address for all of your accounts to be under. This is especially useful for mailing purposes as your email reputation becomes yours alone rather then sharing an IP with everyone else like on a Reseller.

Semi-Dedicated Hosting is ideal for growing websites, eCommerce stores, busy blogs, and high-traffic business sites that need more power than shared or reseller hosting but aren\’t ready for a VPS.

Nope. Semi-Dedicated Hosting provides dedicated CPU and RAM per account, so your resources are not impacted by other users. Ensuring consistent stable performance.

Absolutely. We include free daily backups up to 14 day retention by default as part of the plan. We utilize Jetbackup for incremental backups allowing for quick restoration.

Semi-Dedicated Hosting gives you VPS-like resources with none of the hassle of actually handling a VPS. With these packages, we can provide you with the resources of a VPS combined with the software we use on our services such as Litespeed, Imunify 360 and more -- all at no additional cost to you.

This allows you to focus on your websites, business and/or whatever application platform you have running on our services. Get the best of the best with our Semi-Dedicated Hosting.

We sure do. Upgrading your package to a higher package can be done through the 'My KnownHost' portal. There's no downtime involved. We provide seamless transition between packages of the same service.

Should you require assistance, we recommend contacting our Billing Department!

Semi-Dedicated hosting is sold without branding to provide a white-label service. This allows you to sell our services as your services without any mention of KnownHost!

Should you find yourself outgrowing Semi-Dedicated Hosting, have no worries! KnownHost provides many other solutions that can be used to move your service over too. With our skilled migration specialists we can assist and handle moving you and your customers websites to another service with as little downtime as possible.
