Managed Wordpress VS Shared Web Hosting, which is best?

I've seen a lot of hype around about managed Wordpress hosting but after doing some research around the web I am finding information saying it's basically the same as regular shared hosting.

Have you tried managed Wordpress hosting and if so, did you notice any difference over regular shared web hosting?

All good input is appreciated.

Cheers, Dean

Any regular shared hosting will be good for you until and unless you are going for PBN then you need dedicated ips and individual hosting for your PBN.

Thanks for your input guys, I appreciate it.

Anyone else have any input? I am especially interested in any speed differences, if there are any.

Cheers, Dean
