Features
ScalaHosting offers similar options for its self-managed and fully managed VPS hosting compared to its competitors. However, what differentiates it from others is its custom, or build-your-own, plan. You get to customize all aspects of your hosting—CPU cores, storage, RAM and even your choice of which data center you want to use. The fully managed hosting option gives you sample customizations based on whether you want to optimize your CPU or storage or based on the traffic volume you receive.
What’s more, ScalaHosting holds your data in three different locations so in the event of a hardware failure, your data is easily migrated to another automatically. Managed hosting also comes with free daily remote backups and IP address monitoring.
Pricing
You get a lot of value out of the hosting plans you pay for with ScalaHosting. We also like the amount of transparency in its pricing plans, as you can see up front what you could pay for add-ons without having to see the costs when checking out.
While it’s not the cheapest on our list, you do get low introductory rates to test out its plans. Besides, the hosting provider offers a money-back guarantee with no time constraints. Even if you decide several months from now you’d rather go elsewhere, ScalaHosting will offer a prorated refund.
Customer Service
ScalaHosting has 24/7 email and live chat support. There is phone support but it’s limited to the hosting provider’s office hours. Yes, there is a knowledge base, but it’s not as robust as some of what other competitors offer. You’ll find some simple tutorials, but they’re all text-based.
Reputation
ScalaHosting may not appear to be as well known as some of the other companies on our list, but it does offer reliable hosting services, as evidenced by its 99.9% uptime guarantee. Customers have noted that hosting packages are good value and issues seem to be resolved quickly.
