description Scala Hosting Overview

Scala Hosting is an independent hosting provider that has gained recognition for its innovative managed VPS solutions, particularly through its SPanel control panel-a cost-effective alternative to cPanel. It focuses on delivering high-performance, secure, and scalable hosting with a strong emphasis on customer support. Their managed VPS plans include features like automated daily backups, free SSL, SShield security protection, and a proprietary control panel. Scala offers a range of services from shared hosting to cloud VPS and dedicated servers, but its standout offering is the managed VPS, which provides root access and dedicated resources without the typical management complexity.

It's a compelling choice for users outgrowing shared hosting who seek power and control without a steep price tag.

help Scala Hosting FAQ

What is SPanel, and why does ScalaHosting use it instead of cPanel?

SPanel is ScalaHosting's server and website control panel for tasks such as managing domains, email, databases and backups. It is positioned as a cPanel alternative without cPanel's per-account licensing structure.

Are ScalaHosting's managed VPS plans suitable for multiple WordPress sites?

A managed SPanel VPS can host multiple sites within the server's CPU, memory and storage limits. ScalaHosting also provides WordPress-oriented tools for installation, staging, cloning and management.

Can ScalaHosting migrate websites from another host?

ScalaHosting advertises migration assistance with its managed hosting services. The exact number and complexity of sites accepted should be confirmed before ordering, especially for large email accounts or custom server software.

Can I choose cPanel instead of SPanel at ScalaHosting?

Some ScalaHosting VPS configurations offer cPanel, but its separate licensing cost can make the plan more expensive. SPanel is integrated into ScalaHosting's native managed VPS offering and is the company's primary control-panel option.
