πŸ“„ Editorial Review

Founded in 2007, ScalaHosting has built a strong reputation as a customer-focused hosting provider. Over the years, the company has evolved from offering simple reseller and dedicated hosting into a full-service platform with innovative in-house technologies. They now deliver shared hosting, reseller hosting, managed and unmanaged cloud VPS, AWS-powered hosting, business email, and tailored CMS solutions for platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Magento, and Moodle.

What sets ScalaHosting apart is its emphasis on proprietary tools such as SPanel, SShield, and the WordPress Managerβ€”developed to give customers more control, improved security, and lower costs compared to relying entirely on third-party panels. WHTop has awarded ScalaHosting from 2008 with great services!
