Managed vps means vps setup to troubleshooting with web hosting control panel is fully supported & managed by Provider. You dont have to do anything as like a web host client.

Well, I would say you can do whatever you like as a host member since it is supposed you are paying a bit more to get root control of a virtual server.

However you can rest assured knowing that you can ask the provider to fix the mess you may cause if you aren't experienced, or when you simply want to get installed, fixed or configured something that you prefer don't deal with.

Managed VPS are differently defined pretty much anywhere you go, some will offer installation of software that others won't, your best bet is to send the Managed VPS provider that you're looking into an email, or look on their FAQ pages to see what they provide with a Managed VPS.

Normally, it means they'll install software for you, monitor security, perform optimization, etc.

I have never used a managed vps. Mainly I can setup the server myself. Plus the support staff have been very helpful even with problems which is not exactly related to their hardware. So I never had the need to pay for managed vps. Saved me quite a bit of money.

It really depends on the provider what managed means and in most cases they should be able to outline it for you so you know what is covered by their management.

u can ask the service provider about your query and they will answer the question.
managed vps means full support by the tech team and they will install the software or uninstall.

You should really visit the place your looking into and ask them what comes in their managed plan. Usually it comes with updating anything that needs to be updated and doing any kind of install that you ask. Different companies differ from this plan, so it would be best to ask.

[AskAtum]

Agreed.
Best thing to do is ASK what's included and what you're paying for.

If your host is offering a Managed package or service, it should mean that you get support, upgrades, monitoring, installs etc. Sometimes you'll get backups, firewall protection and other IT services.

It's certainly worth the extra money if you are inexperienced at managing your VPS or Dedicated server, or if you are running a small business and need to shed some IT costs.
