Unmanaged Hosting vs Platform as a Service
Developers should use unmanaged hosting when they need full root access and complete control over the server environment, such as for custom applications, specific software stacks, or performance tuning that isn't possible on managed platforms meets developers should use paas when they need to accelerate application development, reduce operational overhead, and focus on coding rather than infrastructure management. Here's our take.
