ScalaHosting is a web hosting company offering shared hosting, managed cloud hosting and unmanaged cloud servers. It runs its own control panel, SPanel, and includes free SSL, automated backups and free website and email migration.
SPanel includes SShield, which ScalaHosting describes as an AI-powered security monitoring tool that guards your server against malware and attacks. Its built-in WordPress Manager helps with installing, managing and securing WordPress sites. You also get a file manager, a backup management tool, and statistics on server usage and file storage. For email, a tool collects failed messages along with the reason each one wasn’t delivered.
ScalaHosting says its hosting is designed to help small businesses grow. Its shared hosting is simplified so that users without technical experience can build a website. Virtual servers let you change resources as you go and run in an isolated environment. On SPanel, you can pick the web server setup for your site, including Nginx as a reverse proxy or LiteSpeed Web Server, which requires its own license.
You can reach support at any time by chat, email or ticket, and ScalaHosting says its technical support covers everything server-related. When you move an existing site, the team can transfer your website files, database and add-ons for you. ScalaHosting’s email features include blacklist monitoring and IP reputation. You can also connect a CDN with image optimization and minification, and Lighthouse Reports are available as a third-party integration.
Shared plans range from a single-site plan to unlimited sites with more NVMe storage, and managed cloud plans add a dedicated IP, offsite backups and unmetered bandwidth. Prices are intro rates that renew higher. Current prices are in the pricing box above.
