How easy it is to run an unmanaged dedicated server ?

you have to know how to install a panel, and you have to pay for the panel, you have to know when to do reboots and know how to fix your machine. how unmananged is it, like you install o/s or they do it.

this is a little bit hard for me

i'll go for managed VPS first and before i go for a unmanaged one

go for a semi managed if you want a better price.. just check what they do for you and see if you can manage what they dont

for starter i guess running / buying a reseller account is good option. till you know the in-outs of doing stuff.. with a reseller you can start re selling hosting packages.. etc etc..

but for manageing there is no difference in vps or dediacated apart from hardware.
in VPS also you need to take care of security, crashes, reboots, memory leaks, installations etc.
so again VPS is also not easy as reseller account

Semi-managed would be the best try and get a free cp just get them to install the OS and thats it
