- Joomla! hosting partner
We'll copy your site for free, you test it for 3 days, and you decide. No credit card. No commitment. If it isn't faster than your current host, you get $100 and we part as friends.
Most Joomla sites that feel slow aren't badly built. They're sitting on shared hosting where a few hundred other accounts compete for the same CPU and memory, where resources are advertised but not guaranteed, and where the server is optimized for density rather than performance.
You can strip extensions, tune caching, and compress every image on the site - and still lose two seconds to a server that's simply too busy to answer quickly.
ScalaHosting is a managed cloud hosting provider. We've been doing this for 18 years, we build our own stack rather than licensing someone else's, and we've never paid for a review.
We're not the cheapest host you'll find, and we're not trying to be. What we sell is a server that does what we said it would, and support staff who can actually solve the problem on the first reply.
That's a difficult claim to make credibly to someone who's never used us - which is exactly why this page is built around a free migration and a guarantee instead of adjectives.
See why Joomla Co-Founder Brian Teeman moved all his sites to ScalaHosting.
I've moved all my sites, all my clients' sites over to using ScalaHosting.
The reasons were quite simple: price, performance, features and the quality of support.
"I have been building websites since 1996, long before Hosting providers. I have seen it all, including the recent slacking off of support. These people are a breath of fresh air, and as an added plus, they know Joomla! What an excellent service, fast and efficient, with real support. They read emails and chats (24-7) and listen to phone calls (9-5 EST). They migrate and help tune your site and have a better version of the cPanel they wrote called SPanel. You can't go wrong with Scala Hosting; move over to excellence today."
"Being a Joomla developer for 15 years who needs speed, security, and reliability, my experience with ScalaHosting has been consistently exceptional over the 16 months I have been a customer. Their uptime has proven to be fully reliable, keeping our websites running smoothly without unexpected interruptions."
"I have been with Scala since 2008. Before Scala I used a number of hosting from different companies, but once I came across Scala I didn't move out from them. It's been years and I am still a happy customer. I really appreciate their support team. I am a Joomla user and they help me a lot in Joomla related as well, they didn't just stick to hosting related only."
Managed cloud hosting starts at $14.95/month. No setup fees, no long-term contract required, and no preselected add-ons in your cart.
The right plan depends on your site's traffic, extensions, and database size - and guessing wrong costs you either money or performance. Our team will look at your actual site and tell you what it needs, including if that's the entry plan.
Check my site - start a chat(opens in a new tab)Our cloud infrastructure is built to be faster than typical hosting providers - better resources, better setup, better hardware, no overselling. On average, Joomla sites load 30% faster after moving to ScalaHosting.

No. We build a copy of your site on our platform and give you a private link to test it. Your live site keeps running on your current host until you choose to switch DNS.
Files, database, Joomla configuration. We also handle SSL setup and give you step-by-step DNS instructions when you're ready to go live. There's no charge and no limit on site size for standard Joomla installations.
No. The 3-day trial requires no payment details of any kind.
Before we copy anything, we test your site on your current host with GTmetrix or Pingdom and record the result. That number is your baseline and we share it with you.
After the copy is live, we run the same test with the same tool, from the same location, on the same site, database, and caching setup. If your site isn't faster once we've finished optimizing it, you get $100.
You don't need to provide anything about your old host - we take both measurements ourselves. Claims must be made within 7 days of migration, one per client, and the guarantee covers server performance rather than changes you make to the site afterwards.
Then we'll tell you. Our team reviews the site during migration and will point out extension conflicts, unoptimized queries, or template issues if we find them. We're not going to sell you a server to solve a problem a server won't solve.
We delete the copy of your site and everything associated with it. No risk for you whatsoever.
Yes, and we'd suggest it. Keep the old account active until you've been running on our platform long enough to feel confident.
Yes, including Joomla 3.x sites as we run multiple PHP versions starting from PHP 7.2. If you're on an older version, our team can also advise on the upgrade path - separately from the hosting decision.
