An Unmanaged
Dedicated Server leaves nearly all the management
duties of running a server in the purchaser's
control. The customer in this case, updates
software on their own, applies necessary
patches. A Managed Dedicated Server is generally
more proactively monitored and maintained
on the part of the service provider. When
renting or leasing a managed server, the
service provider or host carries out the
responsibility of software updates and patches. |
