Is there a big difference in the price of managed hosting and shared VPS hosting? And, typically what are you receiving when you pay for this type of managed hosting?
For true, fully managed web hosting, expect to pay $150-250/mo or more depending on the type of hosting (Cloud VPS is the exception — it can cost much less even from reputable providers). Managed applications, like WordPress or WooCommerce, are a different story, typically costing less than $50/mo.
