ScalaHosting Review

ScalaHosting renews at $29.95/month — exactly double the $14.95/month intro rate. The renewal price applies starting your second billing term. Longer contract lengths lock in the intro price for their full duration, but renewal rates remain the same across all plan tiers.

No. ScalaHosting uses SPanel, their proprietary control panel included free on all VPS plans. SPanel covers the same functions as cPanel — file manager, databases, email, DNS — but with a different interface designed specifically for their managed VPS environment.

Yes. ScalaHosting includes free migration assistance for VPS customers. Their team handles the technical transfer from your old host, including site files, databases, and configuration. You'll need to provide access credentials to both servers.

ScalaHosting offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on new VPS accounts. The window starts from purchase. If you cancel within 30 days, you receive a full refund minus any non-recurring fees like domain registration or additional IPs.

ScalaHosting offers live chat support but does not provide phone support. Live chat is available during business hours. Phone support is not listed as a contact option, so live chat is the primary real-time support channel for urgent issues.

Yes. ScalaHosting includes daily automated backups on all managed VPS plans at no extra cost. Backups are retained for 30 days, allowing you to restore your site to any point within that window if data loss or corruption occurs.
