The right managed host will be able to provide you with the full solution faster, better, cheaper and also be more flexible and have an easy time dealing with dramatic growth or problems when they arise. When you buy your own equipment and go unmanaged you are completely on your own. You yourself only have access to your own tech resources, you have no replacement equipment or spare parts and it's only a matter of time before you outgrow whatever equipment you purchased. SO, since you're not at a managed host that can just flip out your hardware to someone else and upgrade you, you are essentially stuck buying new all over again.
