The three main types of dedicated servers include managed, partially managed, and self managed. While there are benefits to running everything yourself you really need the experience necessary to do so correctly. For those who can not run their own dedicated servers due to a hectic work schedule, lack of knowledge or just no desire to do so can choose the fully managed option.

This is why managed dedicated servers is the best economical choice. For those individuals who have to take time away from work to manage their server or attempt to learn how to is only taking time away from the company which may result in profit loss.

The price for fully managed dedicated servers may cost a bit more than other dedicated servers but more often than not the pros out weigh the cons. Many of them come with website and security monitoring, 24/7 technical help, and more. This can be great for those businesses that have documents on their website that should not be viewed by the public.

The end cost that you pay for dedicated servers always depends on all of the options that you choose. There are many add-ons that are optional and not required for dedicated servers.
