Managed or unmanaged hosting?

[Rockmonster]

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
it's the perks of having both unmanaged and managed when u feel like it

Managed, Price difference isn't much these days If that is what you are worried about

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.

Same reason for me mate.

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

Managed is the way to go

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.

Managed is 100x better than unmanaged ,which is pain in the ass

Unmanaged for us. Have back up server for backups.

It works alright.

I prefer Unmanaged Hosting as we can do ourselves anything in that but in manged we cant do anything.

[Vampire]

managed hosting for me

 

[MR.Spuf]

Both, I have different purposes so i need both options

 

[SEO Guy]

Managed. Tried unmanaged once and it was not for me. Too much work setting things up.

I tried unmanaged hosting for the first time last month, and if I had more time to work with it, I would prefer that.
