Hi!
Managed and unmanaged hosting can be differentiated on the basis of scale of support they are waste from web hosting providing companies. The number of customer for unmanaged hosting are less than the managed server hosting following are some cause for it.

Incase of managed managed web hosting solutions, web hosting companies provide support and service almost for total hosting package. There are some exemptions for softwares and applications which a customer want to install in his own behalf. Such softwares mainly contains applications like wordpress or drupal and so on. But the major parts like operating system, cPanel, or setting up a server are performed by support staff of a web hosting company, this type of support also includes a few applications which need to be installed before hand over to client. There are few host who provides some special services to their clients such as automated back up facility and few tools which monitors server for providing alerts for any possible downtime.

When things come to unmanaged hosting services, normally the customer are tech savvy and are able of managing servers at their own risk, so they only require for hardware. Some work such as replacing any physical component, maintaining network to keep server on all the time and rebooting whenever demanded by client comes under hardware support. The risk factor shift more towards webmaster in unmanaged hosting services as maintaining all software and other applications is sole responsibility of webmasters and not of the support staff of web hosting services provider

Hi!
Both managed hosting and unmanaged hosting have their own profit. But people tend to choose for unmanaged hosting. The biggest cause for this is cost, since unmanaged hosting is comparatively cheaper the managed hosting, it has been the more popular of the two. But unmanaged hoisting is only good if you can take care of your site and sever. Not everybody can do this.

On the other hand, managed hosting is a lot simpler. If you run a business, then managed server is the best type of hosting for you because of its flexibility.

In Short, Managed hosting is a process of hosting that operated by the hosting company. In case of unmanaged hosting, the customer is the server administrator, allow the user the biggest amount of control and flexibility.
