Unmanaged or Managed VPS

[ceekeigh]

I was just thinking of this matter for a few days now. Upon reading a lot of hosting companies' threads, I am not that 100% sure whom to host with when I decided to get a VPS for my sites. I just wanna ask if it would be better to get an unmanaged VPS like from http://vpsfactory.com & just manage it on my own or get it from a host & let them manage it?

I think it's not that hard to learn on how to run the unmanaged one right? And also using free softwares for the VPS is not like risking too much for the sites' security?

I've never had problems with VPSFactory. So I don't get where people are getting problems from as they have super fast support great uptimes, ect.

I am still on the process of deciding whom to go with.

Wow, this is the first post where people have not spammed with their own sites.

VPS Factory are good, I know there are lots of bad things about them, but the good things are never posted. They are good and you should give them ago.

If your host provides management services at affordable rates then I would suggest a managed vps.Unmanaged vps will also do if you have a good control panel like cPanel.

cPanel is being installed on your vps right now.

Some hosts are just hating on VPSFactory because they are rather big competition I guess. I have a VPS with them and the quality is A+. I'd recommend them.
