Depending on the server and services needed 4-500+Here is a link to a provider that offers very good managed servers:

And here is how they define "fully managed", since it's a term that has different meaning between each company:

I find that highly unlikely.
Unless they are "managed" by 15 year olds from the local high school net admin class.
Have you seen how much a good server admin costs? Now multiply that by 4x, since you want to have 24x7 administration, right? Now add a little bit of markup (profit), and basic business expenses.
Even in India, it's not possible to offer true fully managed servers for $99/month.
Don't believe me? Try breaking something and then waiting until they fix it. (ie: Maybe just keep it simple like stopping HTTP service, so it's an easy fix.) Now do that several times per day.
Do you really think your "fully managed" provider is going to continue logging into your server and lose money by giving you hours and hours of support?

It depends on the where is the support team at in the World, but the general rule is: The Higher - The Better im
ne would hope that the higher, the better holds true. That said, there is definitely a middle ground, Karl mentioned $400-$1200 per month, I was not clear as to whether that is just the management service or the managed server, either way, I think that is a little high. I agree that "fully managed" is an extremely subjective term and that said, $99.00 per month probably won't get you much. If you look around though, you can find decent hardware, with management from the hosting provider for around $200.00 per month.One would hope that the higher, the better holds true.

The number's I provided were just for the management. Senior server admins go for $55-$70/hr for a salaried position depending on where you're at.

Karl,
That is a very good point that brings up another aspect for those shopping around to consider. Many managed hosting providers include a set amount of minutes or hours for the fully managed pricing that they offer. Anything after that is billed at the standard rate, often starting around $75.00 per hour.
