support

I wanted help with the PHP update process. I submitted a ticket and received a response within 5 minutes (probably less). The fastest ticket system of any online business I've contacted over the years, I'd say even quicker than chat. Scala is always helpful, constructive polite, efficient and knowledgeable. Faultless service. Recommended.

Support from Scalahosting is incredibly efficient, fast and knowledgable. Today a live chat support operator single handedly fixed a convoluted Laravel CMS, created some Linux Symlinks and fine tuned Apache mod_security issues: Not that I know much about any of those but she patiently isolated the problems, concisely explained, then took action. I'm very impressed!

I needed my PHP updated to support all my WordPress websites and ScalaHosting's customer service took care of it all quickly and efficiently via chat. I was really impressed with the professionalism and expertise. I've been very happy with ScalaHosting ever since switching to them when I wanted a server to protect the integrity of my outgoing email.

performance

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’ve been with ScalaHosting across my four domains, and honestly, it has been a complete win. First of all, the speed is insane — my websites load so fast, I sometimes think they’ve got turbochargers hidden in their servers. Not a hitch, not a slowdown, just easy sailing all along.

security

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.

Having faced a slew of issues with my previous hosts—ranging from security breaches to exorbitant domain renewal fees (£96.00 for a single domain!) and inadequate customer support—I was desperate for a reliable and trustworthy provider. Thankfully, ScalaHosting has restored my faith in web hosting services.

My most of websites are on wordpress based and before ScalaHosting hosting I did try many of other hosting companies and most of my website get hacked due to their server lack of security but when i try ScalaHosting from the date to till now not a single website get hacked and even get any kind of trojan virus at all.that is why I love their servers securities.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I run multiple PHP applications on a single hosting account?

    It is absolutely possible to run multiple PHP applications on a single hosting account. Unless your provider specifically limits you to a single website/app, you are free to create multiple instances using the framework of your choice.

  • How is a cloud VPS different than shared hosting for PHP-based projects?

    PHP is not a resource-intensive programming language, so you can run PHP-based scripts and frameworks on practically any kind of server. Shared hosting solutions are well-suited for smaller projects and websites that aren't really designed to grow or accommodate a large audience. You get a rather limited account with resources that are shared between 100+ customers.

    In comparison, the CPU, RAM, and disk space on a virtual server are isolated and dedicated solely to your needs. This ensures much more optimal performance and security, as well as the opportunity to add more as your project grows. Additionally, you are not sharing the VPS with anyone else, which allows you to customize the server to your particular needs.

  • What PHP versions do you support?

    ScalaHosting fully supports all PHP versions from 7.2 onwards. New versions and releases are also promptly applied to our servers as soon as they are confirmed to be stable.

    Should you need an older PHP version, like 5.6, 7.0, or 7.1, you can request that from our support team, and they will move your account to an appropriate server.

  • How can I change the PHP version of my hosting account?

    You can easily change the PHP version of your account from the control panel dashboard. Once inside, simply click on PHP Manager under the Tools section. On the next page, you will see a list of your domain names with a blue Actions button next to each one. Once you click it, you will see the option Change PHP Version, among other functionalities.

  • Can I host multiple online projects with different PHP versions?

    Utilizing different PHP versions for different websites or apps is absolutely possible. As long as the needed PHP version is a stable one and supported by us - you have no limitations on what you use.

  • How does your hosting handle backups and data recovery?

    By choosing a ScalaHosting PHP web hosting plan, you don't have to worry about creating backups and their easy restoration. Inside your control panel, you can set up automatic daily backups or create manual ones. You also have the choice of archiving certain parts of your website or your entire hosting account.

    The backups are stored on a different server and data center, ensuring maximum security and avoiding a single point of failure. You can choose a restore point and bring back a saved copy in a matter of a few mouse clicks.

  • Can I consult with a PHP expert for troubleshooting?

    Absolutely! The ScalaHosting Support Team is available 24/7 via live chat, email, and ticketing, ready to help with all kinds of queries or issues. The chat helps you immediately connect to an operator, while the ticketing system inside the account allows you to present your case, get it looked at, and get a response within 15 minutes. Should you need it - you can always escalate your query to L2 or L3 support.
