Managed or Unmanaged Hosting: Which is Better
08:13, 18.04.2022
Advantages and disadvantages of managed VPS hosting
The key advantage is that this service saves you from having to administer the server. Installation, configuration, and maintenance of all software are performed by specialists of the service provider. They deal with technical support and security issues.
The disadvantage is a higher price. It is quite clear why - people need to pay a salary for their work.
Unmanaged VPS: pros and cons
When renting an unmanaged VPS you get full control over the server, you can change the software, control panels, and any other aspects, up to making changes in the OS kernel structure. And the only disadvantage is to provide all of the above you need to find an experienced specialist, whose skills can competently optimize the server, automate some processes and provide a high level of security.
Also, it's worth mentioning a much lower cost of an unmanaged server - but it's a doubtful advantage if you take into account that you have to find a specialist for VPS setup and maintenance one way or another.
Conclusion
If you want to focus on business development and promotion without being distracted by technical challenges and nuances, a managed virtual private server is the best choice. In this case, the client receives full support on hardware and software levels.
Unmanaged VPS is suitable for those who want more fine-grained control over all processes on the server. Yes, it will require more effort before the start, but the server will be better adapted to your individual needs as a result.
