Unmanaged Dedicated Hosting

Another type of Dedicated hosting is the Self-Managed or Unmanaged Dedicated Hosting plan. This is almost identical to a Co-location Plan and is usually the least expensive for Dedicated plans. The main difference is that you lease a server from the host and do not own it outright. The user has full administrative access to the box, which means the client is responsible for the security and maintenance of his own dedicated box.

The data center will offer some very limited support, however, support is typically provided only in general terms and so it is crucial that you discuss with the host what the specifics are for the support they will provide before you sign on the dotted line.

This type is service is usually great for gaming servers pr hobbyist servers, but serious businesses usually require a more responsive and expert level of support.
