Website and technology
Managed hosting is hosting where the provider also handles technical management: updates, security, backups, monitoring and support. You focus on your website, the host on the server underneath.
Advantages: fewer technical worries, faster security updates, a more stable and faster environment, specialist help during outages and more time for your own work.
Disadvantages: higher costs, less freedom in software and settings, dependency on your host and a harder switch if you want to move.
Tip
Managed does not mean everything is covered. The content, plugins and passwords of your own website often remain your responsibility. Ask exactly what the management includes.
