There are many occasions when we are tricked into paying for more than what we really need, simply because the technical terms don’t say much to us, and we are not familiar with the system. Website hosting is not rocket science, but when you know virtually nothing about it and have no idea which is the best plan for you, a web hosting provider can easily sell you something that exceeds your needs. The truth is that these are not the worst-case scenario and access to more resources is better than access to less.
Still, when you are being presented with the option of choosing between a shared and managed website hosting, you should know exactly, which are your plans for the future. If you only need to have a blog hosted, then you will not need the superior resources of a dedicated server, since you will not have so many visitors and such intense traffic. The web hosting provider will suggest you the shared website hosting, which will easily meet your needs, and you will save a lot of money.
Conversely, if you want everything to run silky smooth and to keep your involvement minimal, go for the managed hosting and even push for collocation plans. The latter involve the storage of your servers in a state-of-the-art facility where the technicians are always available, and the hardware will be constantly monitored. This will keep them safe for the physical damage and will ensure a fast response in case of any technical malfunction.
