Typically, managed hosting is a worry free solution for small to medium sized business owners who want a website without the hassle of hiring a full time webmaster to keep the site operating 24/7 or who don't have money to maintain on site servers.
Managed hosting can provide the ideal step up from shared hosting which is often unreliable.
Managed hosting is more for the less experienced webmaster or business owner who might want all the advantages of a dedicated server but not want the hassle of having to perform updates or maintenance on their own.
The managed hosting company will upgrade scripts, web apps or open source software, and help implement the upgrades on your behalf allowing you to enjoy the experience of site ownership without the stress of doing these things for yourself.
