One name that will probably pop up on your radar often enough is DigitalOcean<\/strong>. The American cloud infrastructure provider is well-known for its reliable VPS solutions for WordPress<\/strong>. ScalaHosting was proud to partner up with DO<\/strong> to bring our clients even more lucrative server options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ScalaHosting and DigitalOcean<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
DigitalOcean needs no introduction. The NY-based host has more than 10 years of experience in the cloud field. In 2013<\/strong>, it became one of the first web hosting providers to implement SSD<\/strong> on their virtual machines – a technology that is now a standard for any quality service. Along with GitHub and Twilio, DigitalOcean organizes Hacktoberfest <\/strong>– an annual month-long celebration of open-source software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ScalaHosting sees great opportunities in the DO virtual servers, so a partnership between the two companies was more than logical. On top of the industry-leading hardware<\/strong>, ScalaHosting brings more value with our custom-built solutions<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
All DigitalOcean plans with Scala come with SPanel<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>– our flagman product for effortless hosting management. WordPress users will find SPanel well-suited for their projects as the platform includes everything you might need to get started – the Softaculous Autoinstaller<\/strong>, automatic WP updates<\/strong>, advanced security features<\/strong>, and more…plenty more, actually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why Use DigitalOcean with SPanel?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Scala’s partnership with DigitalOcean has allowed us to expand our offerings and give even more choices to the end user. DO introduces four fixed VPS plans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The packages range from 1 to 8 CPU cores<\/strong>, 2 to 16GB RAM<\/strong>, and 50 to 320GB SSD space<\/strong>. They include all bonuses that come with the ScalaHosting VPS deals – free dedicated IP address<\/strong>, free SSL certificates<\/strong>, site migrations<\/strong>, and the SPanel control panel<\/strong>. As this is a managed service, the Scala Team is always at your disposal should you need extra assistance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
IMPORTANT:<\/strong> Scala now offers all DO datacenter locations as well. Choose a server hosted in New York<\/em>, San Francisco<\/em>, Toronto<\/em>, Amsterdam<\/em>, London<\/em>, Frankfurt<\/em>, Singapore<\/em>, and Bangalore <\/em>for best connectivity with your target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, let’s discuss how to host WordPress on DigitalOcean with SPanel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to Set Up a WordPress Account on DigitalOcean with SPanel<\/strong>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The process of signing up for a DigitalOcean plan through Scala is fairly simple. You can find the VPS solutions<\/strong><\/a> on our homepage. Make sure to select the DigitalOcean tab<\/strong> and then select the server plan<\/strong> that best fits your needs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you are done with your selection, click Continue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next page is for the domain associated with your hosting account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Here, you can choose to register a new domain name for free<\/strong>, use an existing one<\/strong>, or continue with the account setup without a domain<\/strong>. If you opt for a new one the wizard can check if it’s available and offer suitable substitutes if not. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
When finished, hit Continue <\/strong>again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are now at the last step – your Billing <\/strong>details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
We offer several payment methods – via Credit Card<\/strong>, Paypal<\/strong>, and Bank Transfer<\/strong>. Select the most suitable one and click Proceed to Invoice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
IMPORTANT<\/strong>: The Proceed to Invoice<\/em> button will remain inactive until you tick the box that you have read and agree to the Terms and Conditions<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It takes just a few minutes, and your new VPS account will be created, with the welcome emails arriving in your inbox in the meantime. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
