Pros & Cons of Managed & Unmanaged Hosting
Service in the Cloud

• Technical Know-How

  With unmanaged hosting, your service provider only provides you with login information and access to your control panel.

  The rest is up to you, and without at least a reasonable level of technical know-how, handling your hosting account can be complicated and confused.

  With a managed service, all you need to do is sit back and relax, safe in the knowledge that your service provider is taking care of everything for you

• Shared Space

  Unmanaged hosting accounts are generally placed on shared resources, say on a server with 500 or 1000 sites all using the same bandwidth, storage, and other resources.

  Whilst this does allow service providers to keep their costs low, it’s hardly ideal for your website. Sharing resources with many other sites often results in unexpected down time, and can negatively affect your website performance.

  With a managed hosting service provider, you’re assured a smooth functioning of your website with 99% uptime thanks to each server has been setup to power only a small number of sites.

• Support Package

  The low cost of unmanaged hosting can often prove to be a false economy when you start to consider the added expense of paying for support packages.

  In the case of technical errors, such as those relating to scripts, forms, Content Management Systems (CMS) and the like, your service provider will charge a fee via their support ticketing system to fix these problems.

  With managed hosting, you’re guaranteed a website that functions flawlessly 24/7, with no extra fees for support or maintenance.
