Choose the hardware first, then choose your support level
These cards keep the resources visible and consistent. The unmanaged price is the base hardware rate. Managed adds monthly server administration without hiding licensing, backups, security, or migration costs inside the server price.
Management level at checkout: base prices are unmanaged. The Managed toggle shows Managed Server Care (+$49/mo). Care Plus (+$99/mo) and Premium Managed (+$149/mo+) can be selected in WHMCS when more active or priority support is needed.

Managed vs. unmanaged dedicated servers
The hardware can be the same. The difference is who owns day-to-day server operations, maintenance, troubleshooting, and risk reduction.
Unmanaged Dedicated Server
Base hardware rateBest for experienced admins and hosting teams that want root access, dedicated resources, DDoS protection, IP allocation, and hardware/network support.
Compare hardwareManaged Dedicated Server
Base rate + $49/moBest for businesses that want dedicated hardware with monthly server administration, OS-level help, service troubleshooting, and operational guidance.
