Cloud hosting
Managed cloud servers without cPanel license fees, thanks to its own SPanel.
ScalaHosting's managed cloud plans give you a dedicated server with your own CPU and memory, managed for you, at a price close to premium shared hosting. Its SPanel control panel replaces cPanel, which saves the license fee, and its SShield system watches for and blocks attacks in real time.
Daily off-site backups, free migrations and staging are included. SPanel takes a little getting used to, renewals are much higher than the intro price, and support is chat and tickets only.
