Managed Services Background

FULLY MANAGED SERVICES

Sit back, relax, and let the PloxHost team handle everything. Pair your Minecraft, KVM, or Dedicated server with a managed agreement and we'll run the entire stack for you.

Zero Effort

From setup to daily operations, we manage your server end-to-end so you never have to touch a thing.

Expert Team

Configuration, optimization, and maintenance handled by experienced PloxHost engineers.

Fully Custom

Every managed agreement is tailored around what you actually want running, so it fits your exact needs.

Managed Services, handled

Some customers want a server that's ready to go the second it's deployed — and some just don't want to deal with the technical side at all. That's exactly what our managed services are for.

For a monthly managed fee on top of your regular plan, the PloxHost team takes full ownership of your server's operation. You provide the plan or server you want plus the managed fee, and we handle everything from initial setup to ongoing maintenance.

If you'd still rather run things yourself, our standard self-managed plans remain fully available. Managed is an optional add-on — not a requirement.

How it works

Every managed service is unique — different servers, different software, different needs. That's why all managed agreements are setup through our sales team.

Reach out, tell us what you want to run, and we'll put together a tailored agreement with a custom monthly managed fee. No cookie-cutter packages, just exactly what you need.

Frequently Asked Questions

What exactly is a managed service?

A managed service adds a monthly fee on top of your regular plan, where our team fully manages your server's setup and operation. For Minecraft that includes plugins, mods, networks, and more; for KVM and Dedicated it includes OS installs, software, remote hands, and reverse proxies.

Do I still get the same control?

Yes. Managed services are an optional add-on, and you retain access to your server. If you'd rather manage everything yourself, our standard plans remain fully available.

How much does the managed fee cost?

Because every setup is different, pricing is agreed on a case-by-case basis. Contact our sales team with what you want to run and we'll provide a tailored quote.

Why do I have to contact sales?

Each managed server is unique in the software and level of attention it needs. We reach an agreement on scope and pricing with you directly so you always get exactly what you're paying for.

What if I already have a server?

We can take over management of existing servers too. Just let our sales team know what you currently run and we'll arrange a seamless handover.

Can I cancel the managed service at any time?

Yes, our managed services are an add-on to our regular plans. You can cancel it at any time and will continue to have access to your server, but without the management by our team.

What services can you manage for me?

All services sold by PloxHost, with the exception of our web hosting plans, can be fully managed. This includes Minecraft servers, KVM / VPS, Dedicated servers and colocation. If you have a specific service in mind, reach out to our sales team and we'll let you know if we can manage it.
