I have been building websites since 1996, long before Hosting providers. I have seen it all, including the recent slacking off of support. These people are a breath of fresh air, and as an added plus, they know Joomla! What an excellent service, fast and efficient, with real support. They migrate and help tune your site and have a better version of the cPanel they wrote called SPanel. You can't go wrong with Scala Hosting; move over to excellence today.

I am with Scala Hosting for more than 13 years and I am really happy with them. What I really like about them is their super fast support. They were available 24x7, and had never waited for a minute. If you are a Joomla user like me, you will love their support. All the tech support have a good knowledge of Joomla, and they were really helpful in Joomla CMS.

I have been with Scala since 2008. Before Scala I used a number of hosting from different companies, but once I came across Scala I didn't move out from them. It's been years and I am still a happy customer. I really appreciate their support team. I am a Joomla user and they help me a lot in Joomla related as well, they didn't just stick to hosting related only.

The performance and reliability of their hosting services have been impeccable. My websites have been running smoothly, with no downtime that I can recall. The speed improvements and security features they offer have made a significant difference in my site's performance and peace of mind.

I have been operating websites on a commercial basis since 1993 and have never been exposed to such a satisfying and positive hosting experience. We are using the NY based servers and our speed is fantastic with First Contentful paint at 0.8s and Speed Index at 1.0s. You could not get faster!

I run a small software company, and we initially signed up for ScalaHosting to host our company website. I am happy to report that the experience has been wonderful. The performance is top-notch, and our website loads significantly faster than before. On top of that, the 99.9% uptime guarantee is perfectly aligned with our needs. The managed VPS services take care of all technical issues, allowing us to focus on our primary business.

I wasn't sure what I wanted initially so signed up for a low plan just to test the water. It worked better than expected, so when I wanted to change plans they made it easy to do so. While I can generally hold my own with technical stuff, I don't want to do it. I know I can trust them to maintain what I need in the background, so I can focus on my business and not be worried about learning security and how to deal with spammers and hackers.

With the increasing frequency and sophistication of cyber threats, ensuring the security of my customers and their sensitive data is paramount. ScalaHosting prioritizes security by implementing robust measures such as firewalls, regular security updates, and malware scanning. This proactive approach to security minimizes the risk of security breaches and protects my customers and their data from potential threats, safeguarding my reputation as a hosting provider.

I run a local web hosting business; my big pain was hosting servers like VPS and its support and ScalaHosting are the one on which I can rely; I never faced the down time, never had other kind of incident; yes I remember in past one of my client faced accidental corruption to their website, some kind of malware attack and yes ScalaHost support team did every effort to help me and my clients website to recover from the corruption, they did out of the box support.
