Before we start, one question straight way hits up like what actually is managed Drupal Hosting and why i need it. I hope this article will shed light on the relative concepts.

Managed Drupal hosting is a service offered by a Drupal hosting provider where the provider is responsible for managing Drupal on its own infrastructure, enabling customers to take advantage of Drupal's functionality without needing to worry about configuring, managing, orchestrating or troubleshooting the Drupal.

But First: Why Managed Hosting? What Does It Really Get You?

Why would you want to go for a fully managed hosting solution for your Drupal website(s) instead of a... self-managed one?

Because:

• you gain so much time; time that you'd otherwise invest in setting the Drupal infrastructure yourself, from the ground up
• you avoid the risk of getting tangled up in software installation, configuration, infrastructure management (which can turn into a time and energy-consuming ordeal even if you have the know-how to set up a scalable VPS on AWS yourself)
• you avoid the headache of maintaining a whole infrastructure of Drupal sites
• you get remote administration that covers mundane, regular operations such as module updating
