Managed service

Also called: managed, fully managed, managed database, managed hosting, self-hosting, self-hosted, self host, self-managed

A service where the provider handles the upkeep instead of the customer's own team. The opposite is self-hosting, where the customer runs the software on servers it looks after.

For example: A two-person startup uses a managed database. The provider keeps it running and backed up, and the founders spend their time on the product.
