HostArmada vs Scala Hosting

WordPress Hosting is a specially created service, aiming to provide fast, secure, and stable hosting service for WordPress based websites.

Yes! Our WordPress web hosting plans are powered by state of the art Cloud Platform virtualized with the KVM® virtualization technology. This type of technology is Kernel-based, meaning that the resources of the Cloud are equally distributed across all the virtual machines running on top. This assures NO resource overselling so that every web hosting server can utilize 100% dedicated resources.

All storage units are native SSD based except for the backups, which are stored remotely on a block storage service, which is HDD based. This means that all the files and databases of our customers' WordPress websites can take advantage of the fast Read/Write speed granted by the SSD Storage. Furthermore, the Storage Array of our Cloud technology is utilizing RAID 10 configuration for optimal data integrity and even faster requests processing!

Yes! Depending on the package you choose, we can transfer from 1 up to 3 WordPress websites. We will take care of your websites' files and database while making sure there is no data loss! Not only that, but we will also transfer all your emails upon request.

Yes! Our WordPress Hosting is optimized by default, and only deploying your website on our service should optimize its loading speed, however further optimizations ARE possible! Our Technical Support team will gladly review your website and find the best approach to optimize its loading speed even further!

Yes! No matter which WordPress Hosting plan you choose, we will perform automated daily backups for your websites! The backups are free of charge, and you will be able to restore any file whenever needed directly from the control panel we provide (cPanel)!

Yes! We perform full account backups, meaning that all the files, folders, emails, email accounts, databases, and even website optimizations are fully backed up on a daily basis!

Nobody can give a concrete answer to that question and stating that some internet resource is 100% secure cannot possibly be true. However, relying on the experience of our Technical Staff as well as our System Administration team, we developed security solutions that cover nearly 99% of the Internet attacks these days. Furthermore, our Security Specialists are following time-tested protocols, which will immediately report a vulnerability in WordPress when such is detected and will try to patch

Our WordPress Hosting solution offers more than 99.9% uptime for our clients' websites. We persistently apply security patches to every service, and we maintain a fully up to date web hosting environment! Also, we constantly monitor the servers ensuring the fair resource utilization of the users' web hosting accounts. Combined, all these are creating one stable and reliable web hosting service everyone will enjoy utilizing!

Our Technical Team is available 24/7/365, however, they are only reachable via the ticketing system in your Client Area. If the risen problem is of utmost importance, we can schedule a call or a live chat session but this will be a very rare exception. We prefer to providing Technical Support assistance over tickets because some cases require technical time to solve and we always go an extra mile for our customers, so we can deliver the best possible support. In addition to that, the ticketing s

Yes, of course! Our clients are provided with all the tools needed for optimal control on their Dedicated CPU Server solutions! For the web interface, we are utilizing cPanel/WHM, and for console control, our clients can take advantage of the SSH protocol with ROOT level of server access. However, please bear in mind that the root access is on-demand granted, so every client that requires such will have to submit a ticket to our Technical Support Fleet so that they can enable and allow the root

Our Technical Support Fleet can easily handle the upgrade to a Dedicated CPU Server. The only thing our clients should consider is submitting a support ticket informing our crew which Dedicated CPU Server plan they should set up. Afterward, our crew will generate an upgrade invoice, and finally, once paid, the upgrade process will begin. Through the process, our team will set up the Dedicated CPU Server, migrate all data from the Shared Web hosting account, and test if everything is working prop

Similar to the upgrade procedure for Shared Hosting, the upgrade from Cloud SSD VPS solution to Dedicated CPU Server is handled by our Technical Support Fleet. The only thing a Client should do is either submit a Technical Support Ticket or contact our Customer Care department over Live Chat so they can initiate the upgrade. Once initiated, our Technical Support Crew will set up the new Dedicated CPU Server and transfer all the data from the Cloud SSD VPS hosting solution to the Dedicated CPU Se

Although we can offer multiple options for the storage of our Dedicated CPU Server solutions, we choose to provide by default Native SSD units for optimal read/write speeds.

RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, and as the name suggests, this term affects the storage of our Dedicated CPU Server solutions. Since the RAID configuration can be utilized for redundancy and read/write speed, we decided that we should provide both the options. Therefore, we are proud to say that all our Dedicated CPU Servers are utilizing RAID 10 configuration through a separate RAID controller.

Yes, of course! Our Dedicated CPU Server Hosting plans come with unlimited website transfers as long as you provide us with root level of access to your previous web hosting provider. If that is not an option, we will still try migrating all websites, but we reserve the right to charge the transfers accordingly if the amount of such is excessive.
