support

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.

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 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.

security

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.

Cloud Hosting vs Shared Web Hosting

Utilizing Joomla hosting on the cloud is an ideal solution if you are looking to get an optimized and secure server environment for a mission-critical business website.

Joomla Hosting FAQs

  • What is a Content Management System?

    Content management systems are software solutions that allow you to create, modify, and manage a website without the need to know programming languages or computer code. An ideal option for inexperienced and novice users, the CMS comes with a graphic interface that contains numerous menus and options for building a project and publishing it online.

  • Which is better - Shared Joomla Hosting or Joomla Cloud?

    Are you interested in allowing your website to grow to its fullest potential? Are you interested in optimizing your website speed, SEO and user experience? If that is the case, the Joomla Cloud is the right web hosting solution for you. It is the only type of service that can deliver guaranteed and consistent performance, high security, and constant uptime. On a shared server, your Joomla website will split resources with hundreds of other websites, which brings tones of disadvantages and growth barriers..

  • Do you offer AWS Joomla hosting?

    ScalaHosting allows you to bring your Joomla website on the AWS Cloud platform. The web hosting service is managed by us, so you can focus on building and growing your online business. The AWS partnership opens multiple additional data center locations around the world, including Singapore, Mumbai, London, Frankfurt, Montreal, Virginia, Ohio, Sydney, and more.

  • How do I transfer my Joomla site to ScalaHosting?

    The only thing required for a successful Joomla site migration are the login details for your old web hosting server. Our technicians will use them to enter your existing account and copy the data directly to your Scala server. This includes files, databases, emails, practically whatever you need to be moved. The migration will not involve any downtimes and we will ensure your new hosting account is working correctly afterwards.

  • Will my Joomla website be down during the migration?

    No. Your website will not be down even for a second. Your visitors will not notice anything. The data transfer is a smooth process which is performed by trained website migration specialists. The whole process is effortless and hassle-free.

  • How long does it take to transfer my Joomla website?

    In 95% of the cases, the migration process takes less than 2 hours. It depends on the size of the website and how much data we need to transfer.

  • Can I upgrade my Joomla hosting account?

    The Joomla Cloud VPS hosting solution is scalable with flexible resources. You can add more CPU cores, RAM, and disk space with a single click. You will see the newly-added server resources in less than a minute.

  • What is the Joomla Manager?

    The Joomla Manager is a unique tool developed by ScalaHosting. It allows users to simplify their work with the popular content management system even more than before.

  • Can I use Joomla and WordPress on the same hosting plan?

    Absolutely. Unless you choose the Mini plan, you are free to create as many different websites on your hosting account as you wish. Joomla and WordPress have similar server requirements so your environment is optimized for both. The apps are not pre-installed on the account, but you have a one-click solution to configure 400+ scripts.
