I am just curious Do you? have external company for support have a friend for help manage yourself with forum helps have some freelancer only for urgent cases outsource it completely Thanks!
I manage my self. But you should not do that if you dont know what you are doing. I also installed unique system on my VPS LEMP with memcached which runs on steroids. Be careful if you buy managed hosting because it is very possible they will not manage anything.
We manage ourselves, years ago we used to use platinumservermanagement.com to manage our servers. Now we are larger we brought it all back in house.
