About ScalaHosting

ScalaHosting was founded in 2007 by Hristo Rusev, Vladislav Georgiev, and Lyubomir Lyubenov, and remains privately held and founder-led. The business is headquartered in Dallas, Texas, with a sister company in Sofia, Bulgaria running its EU operations, and it operates its own datacenters in Dallas, New York, Seattle, and Sofia. A partnership with Amazon Web Services announced in 2021 added managed VPS on AWS infrastructure across more than a dozen further locations, from Virginia and Oregon to Frankfurt, Tokyo, and Sydney. The company's distinguishing bet has been building its own server-management software rather than licensing the industry-standard cPanel: SPanel, its in-house control panel released in 2018, ships free with its managed cloud VPS plans, and SShield, a bundled security layer introduced in the years after, rounds out that stack. Its focus is squarely on managed cloud VPS, priced to compete with shared hosting while keeping each site in an isolated environment with a dedicated IP. ScalaHosting has been an official Joomla hosting partner since December 2020, when it became a Platinum Global Sponsor of the project, and it points to a Trustpilot score around 4.9 stars across roughly 2,200 reviews as evidence of its support reputation.
