I leased a Virtual Private Server (VPS) on ScalaHosting a few days ago. I've used "standard" servers to host my websites in the past, but really didn't know much about VPSs. I went on youtube and educated myself as to the pros and cons of VPSs. Then, having decided to go with one, I viewed other youtube channels to help me choose a server company. There are many companies out there, but all of the reviews had great things to say about ScalaHosting. They also said it cost more than many of the other VPS providers, but emphasized that the ScalaHosting had dedicated and managed servers, which I viewed as important. Many of the other providers had numerous add-on charges, which ScalaHosting included without additional charges. I went with the lowest cost offering for a dedicated and managed VPS on the cloud. I have since had to deal, numerous times, with the tech support staff, and each and every time they have been responsive and informative. My site uses some difficult coding language, PHP Laravel (i.e., not Wordpress), and the ScalaHosting staff understood what needed to be done to migrate my .tar backup file to get it up and running. I also contacted the sales staff because I needed a few more GBs of RAM on my server's SSD, and the sales person was also knowledgeable and very helpful. I am entirely pleased with my experience so far. My site is running and running fast, and should my site begin to attract many visitors, the ScalaHosting server is entirely scalable. So, a few days in, all is good! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not experienced any downside, and have had no negative experiences at ScalaHosting. I must emphasize that I have been a customer for only a few days, but during that time my experience has been entirely positive.

On the downside, a week or so after switching to ScalaHosting, I checked my site at scam-detector.com and I was informed that my site was "Questionable," because of (among other things) "Proximity to Suspicious Websites." Of course, I have no idea who or what ScalaHosting's other client websites are, but apparently scam-detector.com considers my site's new proximility to suspicious sites to be an issue, worthy of a sizeable downgrade in trustworthiness.

I really appreciate the professional and responsive support team at ScalaHosting. Whenever I open a ticket, they usually respond within an hour and genuinely help me solve the issue, rather than just providing generic replies. This is a huge improvement compared to my previous hosting provider, where I often had to figure out everything on my own. The peace of mind knowing that there is always a knowledgeable team ready to assist me when problems arise is invaluable. The support quality, along with the stability of the service, justifies the cost, although the price is relatively high, is worth it due to the exceptional support and reliable service. ScalaHosting has significantly improved my website's performance, especially during traffic spikes, making the page loading speed faster and more stable. This ensures a smooth operation for my WooCommerce site, positively impacting customer experience by reducing downtime and sluggish performance. The initial setup was extremely easy as the support team handled everything for me, requiring minimal effort on my part. Moving to ScalaHosting has made my work easier and increased my confidence in managing my WooCommerce sites and services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am frustrated with the lack of sufficient notifications for ticket responses in ScalaHosting. Currently, I don't receive email alerts for replies, which means I have to check manually for any updates. If this issue were resolved, the experience would be significantly improved.

I have been a ScalaHosting customer for over eight years, managing multiple accounts, and my experience has been exceptional throughout. I am truly impressed by their consistently high performance, speed, and stability, as they deliver flawless uptime and outstanding reliability. Their servers are fast, secure, and well-optimized, simplifying the management of my online presence. One standout feature is their exceptional support team, which responds quickly and treats my issues with dedication and genuine care, making me feel like they are part of my own team. The intuitive and powerful SPanel control panel is another highlight, as it provides full control without the usual complexities, making tasks like email management and server configuration seamless. ScalaHosting’s strong security measures, including automatic backups, give me peace of mind, protecting my data and ensuring reliability. Their ability to handle growth effortlessly without performance drops or complicated upgrades is remarkable. The clean and user-friendly ecosystem, along with their integration capabilities with tools like WordPress, enhances my workflow by making everything faster and more efficient. Overall, the combination of top-notch customer support, security, scalability, and a thoughtfully designed platform has earned my full trust in ScalaHosting.

Overall, my experience with ScalaHosting has been extremely positive, but there are a few areas where I think things could be improved to make the service even better. The first would be the process of upgrading resources or plans. While it works smoothly, having more detailed, real-time guidance or recommendations based on actual usage trends would make scaling even easier, especially for users managing multiple accounts. Another small area is documentation. Although most features are well explained, there are times when I wish certain advanced options in SPanel had more in-depth tutorials or examples. It would make exploring new features faster and more intuitive. Lastly, while support is excellent, adding more proactive tips or optimization suggestions directly from the support team—for example, periodic performance reviews or personalized recommendations—would add even more value. These aren’t major issues, but improvements in these areas would make an already great experience even stronger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how practical ScalaHosting is. I love how the site is divided and set up, which makes it very easy to navigate. Additionally, I appreciate that it has a very clear cPanel, which greatly facilitates the management of my hosting and email needs. The support they offer is excellent; they have always responded promptly and appropriately, something I value greatly being in Uruguay. Another aspect I appreciate is that the initial setup of ScalaHosting is super simple, which made it easy for me to start using it without any problems. For all these reasons, I always recommend ScalaHosting, as it is one of the best options I have found. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how easy ScalaHosting is to use, making the setup and ongoing management of my own URL for email hosting a seamless process. The great service and fantastic uptime ensure that I have not experienced any service interruptions, which is crucial for my email communication. The portal is thoughtfully designed and easy to interact with, allowing me to get things set up efficiently. I appreciate how well ScalaHosting integrates with other tools like Thunderbird Mail on my PC and Outlook on my mobile phone, which have worked excellently together. The initial setup of linking my URL and software applications was very straightforward, which saved me a lot of time and effort. Additionally, the comparison to my previous provider highlights how ScalaHosting offers superior service, making it a service I intend to stick with for as long as possible. My satisfaction with ScalaHosting is so high that I confidently rate it a 10+, and I have already recommended it to several friends and colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have a small business where I develop and host websites for about 20 customers, and I've used ScalaHosting for several years. I really like ScalaHosting because, when I encounter a problem, I can actually talk to someone in person instead of just relying on email or chat. This direct support is rarely needed, but when I have faced a significant issue, someone has always been available to assist me instantly, and that means a lot to me. Additionally, since switching to ScalaHosting's VPS from my previous shared hosting provider, I've experienced no issues with spam, or blockage due to spammers on the server, which was a significant concern with my old hosting company. This has taken a load off my mind. The initial setup with ScalaHosting was very easy, and they made the process straightforward. Overall, I'm very happy with ScalaHosting, which is why I would rate it a nine out of ten for recommending it to a friend or colleague, despite there being cheaper options. I appreciate the effective customer service combined with the reliability that retains my business confidence. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My biggest complaint with ScalaHosting is related to pricing. Although it was very affordable when I first started using it, there have been several price increases that have made it pretty expensive for the small number of customers I now have. I lost a lot of customers during the pandemic, which makes the current pricing challenging to justify given my reduced customer base. While I appreciate the service overall, the cost has become a significant concern. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love the simplicity of ScalaHosting's platform, where I was able to log in once, set up my VPS, and now they handle the invoicing monthly which I can easily fulfill using PayPal. The inclusion of PayPal as a payment option is particularly valuable to me as I come from a country where there is limited flexibility with credit cards and using debit cards directly comes with certain risks. ScalaHosting's PayPal option alleviates these concerns and makes financial transactions a lot more secure and comfortable for me. Additionally, ScalaHosting resolves significant issues for my mail server by ensuring that my server is not blacklisted and can deliver emails effectively even to major providers like Gmail, Yahoo, and Microsoft, which was a persistent problem with my previous provider. The initial setup of ScalaHosting was super easy, although I might find it easier than others due to my systems admin experience. Lastly, ScalaHosting has consistently met my expectations over more than three years, with no downtimes or significant issues, reinforcing my trust and satisfaction with their service.

I really cannot find something I do not like about ScalaHosting because I have not faced any issues. I am a very picky person and I would have already complained. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A quick fun story about my experience at ScalaHosting. I initially found them on some guys blog about "Best WordPress hosting".

Up to this point, I had tested several providers already. National here in Sweden, and also international ones. They all were NOT as adverted.

The thing about WP-hosting in general from my experience is that you're on shared hosting. Most providers will overcrowd their servers which leads to terrible performance.

I gave Scalahosting a trial seeing they have the authentic AMD CPUs, so I signed up for the free trial, setup a test WP website... and initially I was under the impression that their hosting was slow, also.

So I canceled the service, still having 1-2 days to test their service. On my last hours of the trial, my test website I installed, I noticed it being super fast.

It takes some time after installing a server for it to cache, etc. Now it was super fast! Especally with Litespeed enabled.

I never had this experience with a different provider before. So I instantly moved all my clients to Scalahosting and I have never looked back since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Their administrative panel is a bit slow, I think it's called S-panel. It could use some touch up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using ScalaHosting to host my website for the past six years, and I am very happy with the service. My site's performance has been consistently fast, with virtually 100% uptime, which is crucial for my business. The support is amazing, resolving issues, such as an SSL certificate problem, within just 10 minutes. I appreciate the intuitive and user-friendly SPANEL, specifically the one-click WordPress installation and free daily backups, which have made setting up and managing my site a breeze. ScalaHosting introduced shared hosting with SPANEL, which I value highly. All the tools of SPANEL are used by me, and the initial setup was very easy as the Scala team provided every detail. I hold 50+ ScalaHosting accounts and host almost 60 websites on ScalaHosting, demonstrating my trust in their services. I always recommend ScalaHosting to my friends, rating it a perfect 10 for its outstanding support and performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the price should be lowered a little bit, especially for VPS hosting where the RAM and Processor prices are high. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate ScalaHosting's consistently high server uptime and speed, as this ensures that my clients are satisfied with the performance of their websites. The reliable performance of the servers is crucial for the smooth operation of my clients' websites, and ScalaHosting delivers on this front. Furthermore, I am impressed by the timely and competent customer service that ScalaHosting provides. They are responsive and well-equipped to handle inquiries or issues, making the support process seamless and effective. Additionally, ScalaHosting made the initial setup extremely easy. Their onboarding process was exceptional, as they efficiently transferred my entire account from my previous ISP to their servers, allowing me to resume operations in less than an hour. This efficient and streamlined setup process has been instrumental in ensuring a smooth transition to ScalaHosting without any significant downtime. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike that ScalaHosting has increased their prices over the time I have been with them, making them not as affordable as when I first started. They are not a budget option, and I wish they maintained their initial affordability. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
