ScalaHosting is making significant strides in enhancing its hosting services. On January 15, 2025, the company began offering SPanel-powered shared and email hosting plans to existing customers. SPanel, ScalaHosting’s proprietary web hosting control panel, provides users with an user-friendly interface to manage their websites and email services without additional licensing fees.
Free Migration to SPanel
The migration to SPanel is free and ensures no downtime, with technical support specialists handling the process seamlessly. Later in the year, new customers will also have access to these SPanel-powered solutions. For those who prefer it, cPanel-based plans will continue to be available.
MariaDB 10.11 Support in March 2025
In addition to this rollout, ScalaHosting has announced a significant upgrade scheduled for March 10, 2025. All SPanel servers will be updated to MariaDB 10.11, bringing enhanced performance, security, and stability. This upgrade promises improved website speed through optimized database queries, stronger security with enhanced data protection, and greater stability via efficient resource management. The update will be manually performed by system administrators and is expected to take just 3 to 5 minutes, during which websites may experience brief unavailability. No action is required from customers, as the process will be handled entirely by ScalaHosting’s team.
These developments underscore ScalaHosting’s commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions and continuous improvements to meet the evolving needs of its users.
What This Means to the Users?
The introduction of SPanel-powered hosting plans offers a cost-effective solution by eliminating additional licensing fees (yes, we are looking at cPanel), while providing an intuitive interface for efficient website and email management. The upgrade to MariaDB 10.11 further enhances performance and stability. Combinsed, these developments make ScalaHosting an attractive option for hosting shoppers seeking reliable and advanced solutions. Existing Scala users can look forward to improved service quality and seamless, no-downtime migrations handled by the company’s technical support team.
