ScalaHostingsite ↗pricing ↗
A hosting company selling managed VPS with its own control panel instead of cPanel. Paid plans start at $2.95/mo (Mini); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 4 paid tiers, topping out at $14.95/mo (Entry Cloud). We read the same $2.95/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country.

Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: ScalaHosting at $2.95/mo, against Pressable at $25/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: neither publishes one. Any free access here is a trial, which is a deadline.
- How far each ladder goes: Pressable tops out at $675/mo, ScalaHosting at $14.95/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- ScalaHosting: We read the same $2.95/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country.
How to choose in this category
- Match the tier to the sites and storage you actually use — the levels here divide on resources, not features.
- Introductory terms in this set run one to four years; a lower monthly figure often buys a longer lock-in.
- Every row links the host’s own pricing page. Open it and read the renewal line before you commit to a term.
