Scala Hosting Review after 6 years of using it
I´ve searched the forum for Scala Hosting and found nothing, so I want to start a Scala Hosting thread.
I've started using Scala on January 2008. I have two reseller accounts. I´m just a customer, not affiliated in any other way with Scala. My experience with them has been pretty good. One of the servers was down for almost a day, but this is the only long downtime I can remember in these years. There were other issues like RAID rebuild due to faulty drives, etc. but the downtime was minor. Maybe other customers can share their experiences. A kpmedia's review will also be nice. I think Scala is worth to consider when looking for hosting. Regards! PD: Sorry for the bad english. I´m not a fluent nor native english speaker. |
Most forums have limited feedback on this host -- even WHT. But what I have seen is often positive, so that's good.
Downtime as you've described is always understandable, especially after 6 years. I would be concerned about a whole day of downtime, but it really depends on their communication at that time. (I once had a four-day downtime at Futurehosting, but it was caused by Parallels-then-SwSoft. Plesk barfed! During the entire time, every few hours, I was in contact with the techs.) Your English is fine. :) Thanks for sharing, and don't be a stranger in the forums. |
Scala also is very communicative, and I appreciate that very much. There were times when I didn't note a downtime, but they email me telling about the problem and estimates to resolve. I like this!
Time to time they also ask me to tell what I want from them, what I think of their service, and so. It's not easy to found a forum like this. Objective reviews are rare, so I like to thank you for keep it clean and clear. I´ve also accounts with Wiredtree and Hawkhost, so I can rate them too :) |
Anytime anyone posts a review anywhere online, I'm always dubious. There's too much shenanigans in this industry -- too many fake "reviews" on the web. So when you left a Scala Hosting review, honestly, I wasn't sure if it was legit. That's just life in the internet, sadly. I try to be optimistic here, but we do get a lot of newbie post spam (that I have to delete).
But when you also mentioned wanting to leave reviews of Wired Tree and Hawk Host, well, that's a different story! Those hosts tend to be very good -- though not perfect, and no host is. So immediately, I not only want to read your reviews on those two, but I'll re-read your Scala review. I'm always on the lookout for good hosts. So tell me, hopw does Scala Hosting rate against WiredTree and HawkHost? :) I'd like to read more details about that day of downtime, too. Why did it happen, and how exactly was it handled? |
Well, I also expect to be treated as "fake-reviewer". But I´ll make my best to vanish that first impression :)
To be sincere, it´s hard (for me) to compare Scala with HawkHost and WiredTree for a simple reason: I've two Scala reseller accounts, one HawkHost shared account, and a WiredTree VPS. I´ll copy here the messages received from Scala that day the server was down: Quote:

This occurred when the servers were in Softlayer. They later moved servers to Colo4 and since then have not had significant problems. One of this non significants problems was: Quote:
Same for HawkHost (but keep in mind I'm with WiredTree and HawkHost less time than Scala: 1 year with WiredTree and a couple months with HawkHost). If you want more info, just ask :) |
