Just wanted to know the difference. What's your say?Depends on you, some people can handle a unmanaged box (but most do not).In general the difference is: with a unmanaged box you mostly do not get support on any software level (incl OS), except for hardware issues.Managed -vs- Unmanaged varies from host to host. The only way to find out what those terms mean is to ask the individual host that you're considering purchasing services from.--TinaAlso think about monitoring and times when you go out... that means downtime. Also when you have no clue how to fix things...You go for managed if you don't want to deal with any technical issues.In addition to there being managed vs unmanaged, there are different levels of management available from most companies offering management packages.
