Fully Managed vs Self-Managed reverse proxy
Both plans use the same panel for Cloudflare, domains, and nginx reverse-proxy setup. The split is ownership: do you bring the Offshore / Self-Managed VPS, or do you use Fully Managed shield capacity?
Fully Managed
Shield capacity is assigned to you. You connect Cloudflare; you do not operate the pool VPS day to day.
This plan is aimed at operators who want the control plane without babysitting the reverse-proxy host.
Self-Managed
You supply the VPS and credentials. Install and manage the reverse-proxy host through the panel on hardware you control.
When the plan allows, you can create basic users under your account for team workflows.
