The only problem with managed hosting is that a lot of them can be very reluctant to give you root access to your own box; this is only a good route if you're not very partial to server administration or aren't familiar with basic linux commands, which is all it really takes to do most operations (in cooperation with Google for anything you're skeptical about).
