Which do you prefer and why?

I like to get managed hosting for most of my products because I don't like having to spend time doing backups on my own or server maintenance.

Managed because I'm not smart and knowledgeable enough to manage it myself.

I have tried both managed and unmanged, I gotta say I rather pay the extra $5-10/month than do unmanaged. Saves so much time for the inexperienced, which in turn saves money long term.

Yea same for me honestly. The extra money is worth avoiding that headache.

It really depends on your budget.

Unmanaged can be a pain sometimes, especially if you mess something up on the site and you're hoping the hosting has a backup. I’ve had that happen before.

I’ve been using managed hosting, but sometimes I feel like conveniences like this make me lazy.
