Self-managed web hosting gives you complete control where you have your own server, and manage it yourself, your way. This is a perfect solution when you would like to take control and manage it in a way that suits you. With full root and administrator access, you can install the software you want to.
With a self-managed server, the responsibility of managing the server rests with you. Of course, as your provider, Digital Developments will take care of operations and security, but you are in control of everything else.
It is an ideal solution for advanced users with experience managing serves and for those who want a lot more control.
