Managed dedicated isn't scary. Unmanaged is. I'm pretty sure that my dedicated box would still be alive today if I would have paid for an outside server management company. If you are on a managed box, it's just like having a pain free virtual account, except you don't have to worry about other webmasters on your server pushing scripts that will demand all of the server's resources. Most hosts really oversell their virtual accounts. I think it's that overselling that creates much of the problmes for virtual users.
