There are different degrees of managed hosting; it is not just a matter of your hosting being managed or unmanaged. Different aspect of your hosting will be, and will not be managed, depending on the specific package.
It is important to know what is included in a managed hosting package, and not to just assume that everything is fully managed. Different people have different ideas of what managed hosting entails. In the eyes of a host they may feel they are offering managed hosting, but this may not be the same as your idea of managed. If you require fully managed hosting it is important to make sure that is what you are getting.
Hosting can be either fully managed or partially managed, or of course, not managed at all. In theory fully managed hosting should mean absolutely all areas of hosting are covered, but as mentioned above you should make sure this is the case. With fully managed hosting you shouldn’t have to worry at all and should be able to assume your hosting is in the capable hand of the hosting company’s experts.
