The word "managed" on a VPS plan changes almost everything about what you're responsible for day to day.
Unmanaged VPS: You're the Administrator
With unmanaged VPS, you get root access to a bare server and full responsibility for everything: installing software, applying security patches, configuring firewalls, and troubleshooting issues yourself. It's the most affordable and flexible option, but assumes real server administration knowledge.
Managed VPS: We Handle the Server, You Handle the Site
With managed VPS, CyberNet handles operating system updates, security patching, server monitoring, and core software maintenance. You focus on your website or application instead of server administration.
How to Decide
If you or your team are comfortable with Linux command-line administration and want maximum control, unmanaged is more cost-effective. If you'd rather focus entirely on your business and let experts handle server maintenance, managed VPS removes that burden.
A Common Middle Path
Many clients start with managed VPS while learning server administration, then move to unmanaged plans once they're confident handling maintenance themselves — the flexibility to switch is there when you need it.
