Final Verdict

Who should buy ScalaHosting?
Because ScalaHosting specializes in Cloud VPS hosting, they are best suited for WordPress site owners that need customized resources due to heavy traffic or traffic spikes. While ScalaHosting produces excellent site speed and performance results under the right conditions, you may need to select different resource options than the defaults you get. For that reason, ScalaHosting is better suited to site owners and agencies that have experience in choosing the right resource levels and optimizing their server environment.

Who shouldn’t buy ScalaHosting?
Although ScalaHosting does offer an entry-level cloud hosting plan, they are generally better suited for experienced users. Therefore, beginners and lighter traffic WordPress site owners will probably be better off selecting a shared hosting option elsewhere.
