Freeing a user or businesses from the hassle of having to deal with all the technicalities of an unmanaged server, the managed servers were developed.
Managed servers are the best choice for businesses or companies that are not exactly well versed in the field of server management. Thus, managed servers allow them to transfer the control of their servers to so called server managers, or experts. With managed servers, companies will not need to worry, and could dedicate a much larger portion of their time to other important business process aspect, instead of spending a lot of time trying to understand the systems and procedures of managing a server.
An unmanaged server on the other hand, is as the term "unmanaged" suggests, is on the contrary not managed by a group of experts. This requires a lot of knowledge as regards how to run scripts, how to configure, how to compile software, basically all the technical aspects of server management. This is very tedious to several companies. Although it is tougher to use, it is very much less costly to use.
