| A: Managed hosting is similar to dedicated hosting, but you get more service and support. With managed hosting, the web hosting company will watch over your server, troubleshoot problems, perform regular backups, install patches, etc. The specific services offered by managed hosting companies vary, so make sure you account for this difference as you compare prices. Dedicated hosting - you provide the hardware and the hosting provider installs it for you in its data center. The hosting provider takes care of making sure that you have a consistent Internet connection and ensures that you have a steady power source that is protected against blackouts or other power failures. You handle everything else with the server. You usually pay for the rack space (the space that your server takes up) and the bandwidth that your server consumes. Dedicated hosting is a service that is generally used by more experienced webmasters. Related Web Hosting Questions:
