Managed DS or Bare Metal, for a small eCommerce site which have a IT Team !!

[zola_ib]

I have launched my second eCommerce site but it isn't ready yet.

I also have choose a suitable DS for hosting. But I am confused whether should I go for the managed one or just buy the bare metal one.

The current site is being managed by some of my employees but they are not willing to do the same for the second one.

However, I do have a dedicated team just for IT, webdesign etc.

It doesn't matter whether you have a team or not. The real question is that whether they are capable of handling a server or not.

The other guys (your employees) you mentioned are capable of doing it, as it seems. My suggestion is that make them do it. It doesn't take much of any time. But it does take excellence.
