Managed hosting is the next step up for webmasters from shared. Instead of sharing a server with others you would have one dedicated to you, as a managed customer everything is taken care for you including installation, updates and reboots. Many people out-grow their web hosting plan and as they start getting more and more visitors it is necessary to move to a dedicated server so managed hosting is the perfect solution in order to make the switch as effortless as possible.
