We have discussed managed web hosting before and even if you are comfortable in a dedicated server environment, really, why wouldn’t you ask your web host to manage the server for you when they are so low cost?

If you are aware of what managing a dedicated server entails will help you understand if it’s something you will need to include in your dedicated server purchase.  Finding affordable managed hosting solutions can be difficult.  We recommend choosing carefully.
