FAQ
How is this different from a VPS?
A VPS gives you root and you administer it yourself. Semi-dedicated is fully managed through the WebSitePanel control panel: you share a server, but with only 6 accounts on it, so you get a large dedicated slice of RAM, CPU cores and NVMe without having to run Windows yourself.
Can you migrate my existing site?
Yes. Migration for Windows hosting is an optional paid add-on: we quote it before we start, never after.
Running more than one server?
Moving a Windows application?
Tell us the .NET version, the database size and how it is deployed today, and an engineer will size the tier and quote the move.
