Managed VPS Hosting is a plan that offers complete hands-off management of your server. The management of the server such as OS security patches, cPanel, and WHM updates, is overseen by a team of in-house experts. Managed VPS plans also include Premier 24/7 Live Support, Launch Assist, cPanel, and Web Host Manager (WHM).
Self-managed Cloud VPS has cheaper options, as they do not come with cPanel, nor other graphical user interface (GUI) software for server management, only SSH. These servers are for technical users with command-line capabilities, and who don’t need assistance with their hosting plan.
