When it comes to VPS hosting, Erichost provides high-performance servers that combine power, flexibility, and affordability.
Before you select a plan, it’s important to understand the difference between Managed VPS and Unmanaged VPS — so you can pick what best fits your business or technical needs.
⚙️ What is a Managed VPS?
A Managed VPS means the Erichost technical team takes care of all the backend management of your server — including setup, security, updates, and monitoring.
This option is ideal for business owners, agencies, or non-technical users who want to focus on their projects while our experts handle server maintenance.
✅ Advantages
- Server setup and configuration done for you
- 24×7 professional technical support
- Regular security updates and monitoring
- Automatic backups and performance optimization
❌ Disadvantages
- Slightly higher cost (includes both base VPS price and management service fee)
- Limited control over some root configurations
💰 Pricing Structure
Managed VPS = Base VPS Price + Management Fee
The management fee varies depending on your individual requirements — such as monitoring frequency, backup setup, or specific software needs.
🧠 What is an Unmanaged VPS?
An Unmanaged VPS gives you full root access and complete control over the server.
Erichost provides the resources and hardware — you handle everything else, from OS setup to security, software installation, and maintenance.
This plan is best for developers, system administrators, or users who have the technical skills to manage servers independently.
✅ Advantages
- Lower overall cost (only base VPS price)
- Full control and customization
- Freedom to install and configure any software
❌ Disadvantages
- Requires strong technical knowledge
- You manage security, updates, and backups yourself
- Support limited to hardware or network issues
💰 Pricing Structure
Unmanaged VPS = Base VPS Price Only
You pay only for the VPS resources — no management charges are added.
