Hi all.

I am close to buying a server with Servers4Sale but have a very important question before going ahead.

I need the server to be fully managed (i.e. all kernal/cpanel updates, hardening etc) as all I want to do is upload my content and see the sites running.

I have two options as far as I can see...

1. Let Servers4Sale handle the management under their semi-managed plan for $24.95 - this could be beneficial because I would have management from the same place as I have my server.

2. Pay someone like PSM or SeeksAdmin around the same amount ($25-$29) to manage the server.

Which would you choose out of the two?

TIA - Dav

That's per month according to their websites.

Surely, dav, it'd be better if you manage your server yourself. But you have to be very good experienced in it otherwise it'll cause a lot of issues in the future.
