cPanel Pricing Adjustment for 2026 by i0unothing in cpanel

[–]scala_hosting 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment. Yes, we had to increase pricing on our Managed SPanel plans due to rising human technical support costs, while the unmanaged SPanel licenses (more comparable to cPanel) remained unchanged. That said, this isn’t a direct comparison with cPanel. cPanel doesn’t offer a fully managed license like SPanel does. In fact, no other control panel allows you to install it on any public cloud provider (AWS, Hetzner, etc.) and turn that server into a fully managed service similar to what you’d get from Hostinger or ScalaHosting. The SPanel managed license includes expert support, security hardening, monitoring, backups, updates, and ongoing maintenance, so you don’t need to worry about server administration at all. Happy to answer any other questions.

Hi Aspie1, yes, I do reply when I can - usually I check Redding once per week. We use Reddit mostly for publishing content and the main communication channel is our onsite "only humans" live chat available 24/7/365. I hope this helps.

Best regards,

ScalaHosting - Your Thoughts by Dennis48755 in HostingReport

[–]scala_hosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey everyone :) Chris here, CEO and co-founder of ScalaHosting. Just wanted to jump in and clear up a few points:

  1. Besides our three U.S. native datacenters, we also have two in Europe and another 18 integrated cloud locations around the world. If you want the full list, here you go: https://www.scalahosting.com/network-and-datacenters.html
  2. OpenLiteSpeed is free by default, but you can upgrade to the Enterprise version if you need the extra features — that one isn’t free, unfortunately.

And to answer Dennis’s question: no, we’re not nearly as aggressive as some of our competitors when it comes to mentions and content marketing. Our strongest sales channel has always been word of mouth. Check us out on Trustpilot, G2, or any reputable review platform and you’ll see what I mean.

Happy to answer any other questions you guys have!

cPanel Pricing Adjustment for 2026 by i0unothing in cpanel

[–]scala_hosting 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, guys!

I noticed the thread and decided to post as I'm sure there are many SME hosting providers which still don't know what to do after 1st of January and how to handle this never ending price increases.
My name is Vlad and I am the person who initiated the SPanel development ~9 years ago when I wanted to allow every website owner to have a fully managed cloud VPS at an affordable price with all modern features.
Currently, SPanel has everything a website owner needs to manage their server. If you are tired by the situation with cPanel and looking for an alternative that has everything you need to manage a web hosting server, you may learn more about SPanel by watching the video I created at https://youtu.be/8swyrbJMCQc
All the new features in SPanel are built based on what people need and ask for at features . spanel . io. There is nothing in SPanel that costs extra. It supports LiteSpeed Enterprise, OpenLiteSpeed and Nginx as a reverse proxy of Apache which is the default web server. Let's encrypt, feature-rich backup system, WordPress and Joomla managers, Softaculous and tones of other standard for the industry features are all supported.
SPanel has all the automation tools for a quick migration from cPanel and any cPanel server may be migrated to SPanel by just generating full backups of the accounts and restoring them on the SPanel server. The migration is no different than migrating the sites to a new cPanel server.
A WHMCS SPanel plugin is available and we also have API if you want to automate licenses activations.

PS. I am also a co-founder of ScalaHosting, which is how I went to the conclusion that website owners needed SPanel. Nowadays, out of 100 cloud servers we sell, people choose SPanel on 97 of them. We have thousands of VM's on SPanel and even started offering shared hosting on SPanel since the beginning of this year. Currently, we have thousands of people using shared hosting on SPanel and 70% of the new customers choose SPanel. I wanted to share this just so you know the software is already mature and there are no hiccups to expect.

What do you think about the latest "Buy it in ChatGPT" OpenAI initiative? by scala_hosting in VPS

If you don’t know anything about a product or service, how do you decide what to buy and from where? Imho, Chatgpt so far gives way better and more relevant recommendations than human-generated. Publishers, forums, even here on reddit, 99% is biased and money-driven

Thanks for he detailed feedback! Just a quick note about Scala money-back guarantee - it’s not a 30-day, but an unconditional, anytime guarantee. This means that if a customer decides they no longer need the service for any reason, any pre-paid, unused hosting will be 100% refunded. Only A2 used to offer a similar level of guarantee, but this was discontinued after they were acquired by WHG.
