ScalaHosting Review
ScalaHosting in its own words
ScalaHosting is all about Managed VPS, and we believe that every website deserves an isolated cloud environment managed by the industry experts. To make this possible, we simplified the VPS with our in-house developed, all-in-one cloud platform SPanel.
We are exclusive VPS provider for Joomla.org since 2020; We give 30-day unconditional money-back-guarantee with every hosting service purchased from us (30-day free trial for everything except for domains)
ScalaHosting was founded as a VPS provider in 2007.
It is headquartered in the United States.
It employs 55 people.
It offers Managed Hosting, VPS, Web Hosting and Wordpress hosting products.
