What is managed hosting?

Managed hosting providers have become increasingly popular as businesses and developers seek to offload their infrastructure management, configuration, and support to external experts. These services offer several benefits, including cost and time savings, improved performance and reliability, enhanced security and backups, dedicated support, and pricing transparency. When choosing a managed hosting provider, consider factors such as cost, type of website or application, support tiers, and the public clouds utilized by the provider. DigitalOcean partners with several leading managed hosting providers to offer their services in a managed environment, making it easier for businesses to focus on their core work while benefiting from the simplicity, flexibility, and reliability of DigitalOcean's cloud services.
