When buying a Dedicated server if you have no server administration experience you need to be selective on who you choose. Some places call all their servers managed but you actually have to do a lot of the work. It sounds like to me you would need a fully managed server. Meaning you would need someone to do OS updates any work that needs to be done from the command line or os level. Some control panels offer a lot of this like Interworx and cpanel.

Good luck!

Actually this is not true at all. This depends on how the company sets up the hard node that the VPS servers are on. You can get a garunteed RAM commit and with SLM this pretty much the same as what you would get with a dedicated. You can also get a garunteed CPU % which is yours and yours alone. The disk space is yours to so depending on how the VPS is setup it can be exactly the same as a dedicated and in many cases better than a low end dedicated server is VPS proivder uses quality hardware nodes and they do not oversell them.
