How is this different than a dedicated server?

A Split-Dedicated server uses virtualization technology to provide a similar hosting experience to a physical dedicated server. Because you share the cost of the entire server with additional clients, your Split-Dedicated container easily outperforms a similarly priced dedicated server.

Sharing the costs also means we can offer you features that would price a physical dedicated server 2-3 times more than what you pay for a Split-Dedicated container.

Try it out for yourself. Go to any reputable Tier 4 data center's website and do a price comparison to the hardware and features available on your Split-Dedicated container.

Don't forget to add full management, since most servers are unmanaged, and the cost of having the server software installed, hardened for security, and tuned for performance.
