managed vs unmanaged hosting
Im assuming managed means they support and help with everything where as unmanaged your basically on your own with installs etc. Am I correct on this?

pretty much, but don't assume it includes "everything"...
if you don't know what's needed for an unmanaged server, then unmanaged server is not for you...

"fully managed" - yes, hand holding is involved and we obey your every command.

"managed" - typically LAMP stack. "basic Linux, Apache, Mysql and PHP related requests" Forget trying to get someone to compile ffmpeg/libx264/related they probably have no idea what they are even doing. You get the idea.

"unmanaged" - do as you please without the intervention from support.

Yes you're correct. I always prefer managed hosting for example in unmanaged if the MySQL server fails you have to fix it not the support team... Is less stress with managed hosting...

You need to know unix server administration, be able to work with apache/mysql/named/etc settings, know how to install/upgrade software on the server, be able to debug server problems, etc

if you get a decent control panel, such as DirectAdmin or cPanel, you do not need managed. If there is a hardware issue your host should take care of things for you.
