What is Managed VPS Hosting?
A virtual private server (VPS) hosting, also known as virtual dedicated server hosting is a method of partitioning a physical server into multiple virtual servers such that each server has the appearance and capabilities of running its own dedicated machine. Each virtual server operates in an isolated environment, run its full-fledged operating system and can be rebooted independently.
However, added control means additional responsibility. Much like in a dedicated server hosting plan, VPS hosting users are usually left in charge of their own server. A quality VPS hosting service provider might offer a guarantee with regard to the network that the server is hosted on, you are expected to carry out tasks such as operating system installation, upgradations, monitoring, security patches installation, etc. on your own.
Managed VPS hosting seeks to strike a balance between full responsibility and no responsibility. Although it allows you take full control of your VPS hosting with full root access, it also offers you the services of experienced IT professionals to keep your website performing at its optimum level. Rather than being completely dependent on the service provider (shared hosting) or enjoying complete freedom (dedicated hosting), managed VPS hosting takes away a portion of your responsibility, leaving complex server management tasks to your service provider.
