Managed hosting is the model in which a service provider will lease its hosting services to a client and also manage it on his behalf. Thus, ready resources get delivered to the client.
Because maintenance, service and security is the responsibility of the provider, the client need not worry about doing so at his end. The provider’s responsibilities shall only relate to server-related functionalities, and the client will need to manage the rest on his own. Even then managed hosting services are a great relief for IT professionals who are only starting a business and want to keep workforce to the bare minimum.

**the services provided in either hosting plans (managed and unmanaged) varies from provider to provider and plan to plan.
Managed hosting services are generally thought of as more expensive than unmanaged hosting, but even with unmanaged hosting you will need to setup a few things on your own. You will need to buy a security application, backup database and assign staff to handle the server.
When all the other things have been weighed, unmanaged server can, at times, cost you more than unmanaged services, even though the upfront cost is always more in case of managed services.
Cloud is entirely managed hosting service. The philosophy underlying cloud hosting is to make the resource available to the client in real time, which can only be achieved if the infrastructure is only provider-managed. There are several cloud hosting models, however, such as private cloud that needs to be maintained by the client himself, though these days providers have started to manage the private clouds as well.
Absolutely, you will get all the essential controls with your hosting plan. In managed hosting all things will work the way it does in every other hosting, the provider will only undertake the work on your behalf, instead of you doing them yourself.
So, you can run virus scans as many times as you want, or update the software when you feel like, you only need to convey your provider about the same. You would also get the same control panel as unmanaged services.
