    hi *********.
    I want a fully managed Server, without the hassle to do OS upgrades, patches, software (mysql, apache, php, domain panels) upgrades, patches, security to be taken care by the provider.
    It should be fully managed.

    I have a minimum of 20-30 users online anytime of the day.

    Kindly recommend me some more plans.
    My budget is 50$ max.. with complete support.

    Regards,

    They can, but they're not allowed.

    Simple really: Requests are forbiden. Asking for hosting recommendations is OK.

    There are a few VPS providers with a good reputation on this board. Do a search for VPS (choose titles only) and read some threads. You should be able to find out which hosts are often recommended quite fast.

    Good luck!
