Help with selecting type of dedicated server, please.
Hi everyone,
I have read every post on this forum about managed and non-managed servers and I am still no wiser.
I have outgrown a shared package and wish to go dedicated.
I was interested in taking a softlayer server (mainly because of the port speed), but I was warned away because it wasn't managed.
Now, I should point out that I haven't the slightest clue on how to even turn a server on. Let alone install software and give it commands.
Basically, I want to pay for the server, and log in and see cpanel or something along those lines.
Can anyone explain the difference, and explain some "activities" that I might need to undertake on a non-managed server that I wouldn't need to do on a managed one??
Thanks,
Gareth

Activities -
Install Firewalls
Configuration File modifications if services fail
Kernel Upgrades
I could list a whole ton of them....
You need a management company if you really have no experience with SSH in my opinion...ManageMyServices was sold by me in September 2009. I no longer have any affiliation with this company.

Are there any that could be recommended to me?
Budget isn't an issue. I need quality.
Thanks

Sorry, I think I may have worded my last post wrong.
Are there any managed dedicated server companies that you could recommend and preferably of the same class and calibre of softlayer??
I would an all in one solution rather that using two different companies.
Thanks & sorry for the confusion.
