Managed Google vs Raw Google

[test user]

Greetings,

I was wondering if a user decides to go for hosting with google,https://www.cloudways.com/en/managed-google-compute-engine.php, for the desired application such as wordpress, php, magento, is it better than purchasing a raw server and doing all the stuff by your own self?

Your question is is replied simply by listing advantages of Infrastructure-as-a service, as Compute Engine falls under this category, IaaS:  

- High-Performance, Scalable VMs

- Industry Leading Price & Performance

- Low Cost, Automatic Discounts

- Fast & Efficient Networking

- Flexibility for Every Workload

You can find related information on the Compute Engine page.  

The most appropriate solution takes into account how you plan to use your app, and what workloads are expected. Depending on a few parameters, such as number of users expected, scalability requirements, or intention to concentrate on programming, rather than system administration, you might consider deploying your app in App Engine.
