When does an account stop be a reseller account and start being a semi-dedicated?

I have yet to see any real definitions on this.

Thanks.

Semi-managed is where you rent or own a full server and have someone semi-manage it for you. Is this what you mean? :)

Semi-dedicated is when you have your own section of the server, with root access (usually called a Virtual Private Server, or VPS). You are allocated a certain amount of processing power usually, and a certain amount of RAM to work with as well.

There are people however, who will say that they are offering a semi-dedicated reseller account. Which means that they will basically take cpanel, and only put 5 reseller accounts on this one dedicated box. However, this doesn't give root access and is not semi-dedicated.

Does WHM support semi-dedicating a server? I havnt seen anything about it in the manuals or docs.
