The video I just boosted (video.fedihost.co/videos/watch) does a really good job of summing up the pros and cons of managed hosting vs VPSes.

Managed hosting doesn't get as much limelight as VPSes, which is a shame as managed hosting opens up this whole area to non-technical people.

Sometimes people assume that everyone can use a VPS, but for a lot of people it isn't really sustainable as it requires a commitment to fiddling with the techy stuff behind the scenes when it goes wrong.

@homegrown I love managed hosting, it is where I got my own start. Also not even all developers want to get into the server admin side of things, and that's fine.

That said, I prefer VPS myself

@gustav

Yeah, it's good to have options so you can do the amount of admin work that you feel comfortable with.

It's kind of like building your own PC or buying a ready-made one with a warranty, it's nice that both options are available as it makes it easier for everyone to take part in the PC world.
