What Is Unmanaged Server Hosting?
In Web hosting, unmanaged server hosting refers to dedicated server hosting in which the hosting company provides limited or no tech support and server maintenance. The customer must perform maintenance to the server that she is renting from the company.

Benefits
-
Unlike shared hosting, the user will not experience slower load times when many visitors are accessing others' sites on the servers. Dedicated server hosting also offers much higher bandwidth and disc space allotments.
Pricing
-
Consumers can purchase unmanaged server hosting from a variety of hosts. These companies may specialize in dedicated server hosting or may provide both dedicated and shared server hosting. Hosts tend to sell packages by the month and the consumer may be able to use a discount if he buys hosting for the long term. For example, Server Beach has unmanaged dedicated servers starting at $75 per month.

Considerations
-
Typically, unmanaged server hosting has a higher price than shared server hosting. In addition to this, users should consider whether they require a Windows or Unix/Linux-based unmanaged server. Developers who use Microsoft's Active Server Pages will require a Windows dedicated server while customers without specific needs can use either.
