Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between Shared and Cloud hosting?

  Shared hosting is like living in in an overcrowded tenement with nosy neighbors. It’s cheaper, but you must share everything with hundreds of other users. If one of them is hacked or blacklisted, your risk of being hacked increases significantly.

  The VPS server is like living in your own house with a nice yard. You get 100% control, better security, and speed. It is fully managed, so you can focus on growing your business.

  And with our proprietary in-house solutions, now every website owner in the world can finally have their own cloud VPS with a control panel, daily backups & snapshots, fully managed by experts 24/7/365 at a comparable price to shared hosting, starting at just $12 per month.

• SPanel Control Panel

  

  You get the control panel developed by Scala Hosting (SPanel) with a graphic interface to manage your cloud server and the all services on it such as website, email, database, ftp and DNS services. The control panel is compatible with cPanel and will save you $15 per month for a cPanel license. Your websites will work as they have been working on a cPanel server. The control panel is running on our own equipment and doesn’t eat from your server’s resources unlike cPanel.
