Types of Dedicated Servers

Dedicated servers fall into two main categories based on the level of management: managed servers, where the provider handles all technical tasks, and unmanaged servers, where you take on full responsibility.

Managed Dedicated Server

With a managed server, the provider’s support team handles installation, updates, monitoring, and security — the best option for those without an in-house technical team.

This service typically also includes: automatic backup setup, regular server performance tuning, and round-the-clock technical support for handling any urgent technical issue.

Unmanaged Dedicated Server

An unmanaged server gives you complete control with no intervention from the provider, suitable only for those with high technical expertise or teams with a dedicated systems administrator.
