A managed VPS, or a panel ecosystem to commit to.
ScalaHosting offers a genuinely managed VPS, but it is built around its own SPanel control panel and a standard uptime guarantee. RemarkableCloud is fully managed with panel freedom, a 500% SLA, and backups and mail included on every plan. Choose ScalaHosting if SPanel fits how you work. Choose RemarkableCloud if you want a 500% SLA and the freedom to run any panel.
ScalaHosting is a managed VPS provider built around SPanel.
ScalaHosting has been in hosting since 2007 and is known for genuinely managed VPS aimed at businesses, agencies, and WordPress sites. Its signature product is SPanel, an in-house control panel offered as an alternative to cPanel, with no per-account license cost. Management on the VPS plans is real, support is capable, and for a team that is comfortable working inside SPanel, ScalaHosting is a credible and well-established choice.
The differences with RemarkableCloud are the control panel and the uptime guarantee. ScalaHosting is built around the SPanel ecosystem: it works well for standard hosting, but it is its own environment, and anything outside what SPanel supports means working around the platform. Its uptime guarantee is a standard one rather than a multiplied automatic credit. ScalaHosting is genuinely managed hosting. The question on this page is how a single-panel ecosystem and a standard guarantee compare to panel freedom, a 500% SLA, and backups and mail included on every plan.
Managed by the hour, or managed without limits.
Raiola Networks and RemarkableCloud are both genuinely managed hosting providers. The difference is how the management is sold and what comes bundled. Two differences matter most.
Raiola manages by a block of hours.
Raiola's managed VPS includes a defined number of management hours each month. Once that block is used, further work is billed, so management is metered rather than open-ended.
RemarkableCloud manages without a cap.
Our team handles OS patching, security, monitoring, incident response, the firewall, the mail gateway, and backups proactively, with no hour cap. The management is the service, not a metered allowance.
Raiola bills cPanel and runs a standard guarantee.
cPanel is a licensed add-on on top of the plan price, and the uptime guarantee is a standard one. Credits, where they apply, depend on a claim rather than paying out automatically.
RemarkableCloud is one flat all-in price, 500% SLA.
The control panel, daily snapshots, free S3 backup storage, and the mail gateway are included on every plan. 1 hour down equals 5 hours credited, automatically, with no claim to file.
What you actually get for the same money.
ScalaHosting's managed VPS is genuinely managed, but it is built around the SPanel ecosystem, the uptime guarantee is a standard one, and offsite backups are not bundled by default. RemarkableCloud's Shared CPU 8 GB Cloud Cube is $36 per month with annual billing, a dedicated fully managed server with panel freedom, the control panel, daily snapshots, free S3 backup storage, the mail gateway, and a 500% SLA all included. One flat all-in price.

Performance, side by side.
ScalaHosting runs its managed VPS on capable cloud infrastructure with a long track record, a genuine managed-hosting platform. Every RemarkableCloud Cloud Cube runs on current-generation enterprise Intel and AMD processors at 3 GHz or higher, with 100% NVMe storage, dedicated resources, full root access, and a 50 Gbps DDoS-protected network on every plan, including the $8/month Basic tier.
ScalaHosting infrastructure
Capable managed cloud infrastructure
ScalaHosting runs its managed VPS on capable cloud hardware with NVMe storage. The infrastructure is genuinely solid, a real managed-hosting setup with a long track record.
Built around the SPanel ecosystem
ScalaHosting's managed VPS is built around SPanel, its in-house control panel. It is genuinely capable for standard hosting, but it is a single ecosystem rather than a free choice of panel.
Genuine managed-hosting support
ScalaHosting includes real server management: OS administration, monitoring, and responsive support. This is a true managed service, one of ScalaHosting's genuine strengths.
Network capacity varies by plan
Network throughput and DDoS protection on ScalaHosting's VPS plans depend on the tier. There is no single high-capacity scrubbed network figure published as a flat baseline across every plan.
RemarkableCloud infrastructure
Current-generation enterprise CPUs at 3 GHz+
Every Cloud Cube runs on modern Intel Xeon and AMD EPYC server-grade processors at 3 GHz or higher. Consistent clock speeds, the same caliber of hardware used in demanding data center workloads, with no mixed-generation fleet.
100% NVMe on every plan, no premium tier
NVMe storage is included on every Cloud Cube, from the $8/month Basic 2 GB plan to the 128 GB Dedicated CPU tier. NVMe delivers 5 to 7× faster read and write speeds than standard SSD, benefiting WordPress database reads and any disk-heavy workload immediately.
50 Gbps DDoS-protected network, all plans
Every Cloud Cube plan runs on a 50 Gbps network with built-in DDoS scrubbing at the infrastructure level. Attack mitigation is on by default. No add-on, no premium tier, no separate firewall service to configure.
Non-oversold, allocation guaranteed
Cloud Cubes are never oversold. Your allocated CPU and RAM are consistently yours, never shared or throttled by neighboring tenant activity. No burst credits, no noisy-neighbor risk on any plan.

Three steps to leave ScalaHosting.
RemarkableCloud handles the full migration from any ScalaHosting server at no cost. Most migrations complete in 2 to 24 hours with no downtime planned. You stay on ScalaHosting until we confirm the new server is verified and ready.
Order your Cloud Cube
Pick a Cloud Cube plan and complete the order. We provision the new server and send migration credentials within minutes. Your ScalaHosting server stays running and serving traffic. No reconfiguration on the ScalaHosting side.
We migrate your full stack
Our team copies files, databases, mail accounts, DNS records, and SSL certificates from your ScalaHosting server to the new Cloud Cube. We test everything on a staging URL before cutover. You review and approve. No surprises, no rushed migrations.
Coordinated cutover, then go live
When you approve, we point your domain DNS to the Cloud Cube during a coordinated window. Final database sync, DNS propagation, post-migration verification, then you cancel the ScalaHosting server. You are fully live on RemarkableCloud.
Four reasons teams move from ScalaHosting to RemarkableCloud.
Teams running production workloads on ScalaHosting move to RemarkableCloud for four consistent reasons: they want panel freedom instead of a single ecosystem, they want a 500% SLA with automatic credits, they want offsite backups and a mail gateway included, and they want one flat all-in price.
Panel freedom, not a single ecosystem.
ScalaHosting's managed VPS is built around SPanel. It works well for standard hosting, but anything SPanel does not support means working around the platform. On RemarkableCloud, RemarkablePanel is included free, or you can run cPanel, DirectAdmin, or Plesk instead. You have a full root server, not a single panel to commit to.
A 500% SLA with automatic credits.
ScalaHosting backs its servers with a standard uptime guarantee, where credits depend on filing a claim. RemarkableCloud's 500% SLA credits 5 hours for every hour of downtime, automatically, from the first minute, with no threshold and no claim. The credit is calculated and applied to your next invoice for you.
Offsite backups and mail, included.
On ScalaHosting, offsite backups and an enterprise mail relay are not bundled into every plan by default. RemarkableCloud includes daily snapshots with free S3 backup storage, sized at twice the NVMe disk of the plan, plus the MailChannels SMTP relay with Rspamd antispam. A real recovery point and inbox-grade mail deliverability are part of the service from day one.
One flat all-in price.
With ScalaHosting, the plan price is a starting point, with optional add-ons on top. On RemarkableCloud, management, the control panel, daily backups, offsite S3 storage, the mail gateway, and the 500% SLA are all included on every Cloud Cube. The price you see is the bill you pay, this month and next year.
When Raiola Networks is the right choice. When RemarkableCloud is.
Raiola Networks is the wrong answer for some buyers and the right answer for others. Same for RemarkableCloud. The honest version of this page is which one matches the shape of your team and your workload. Here is the test.
Choose Raiola Networks when
- You want a local Spanish provider with a strong, established reputation in Spain.
- You need European data center locations for a Spanish or European audience.
- A monthly block of management hours covers the work your server actually needs.
- You already run cPanel and are comfortable licensing it as an add-on.
- A standard uptime guarantee with a claim process is enough for your workload.
- You prefer a provider built specifically around the Spanish-speaking market.
Choose RemarkableCloud when
- You want unlimited management instead of a capped block of hours each month.
- You want a 500% SLA with automatic credits, not a standard guarantee and a claim form.
- You want one flat all-in price with no cPanel license or extra-hours billing.
- You want offsite S3 backup storage and a mail gateway included free on every plan.
- You want a 50 Gbps DDoS-protected network as a baseline on every plan.
- You want support in English and Spanish from a team that runs the server for you.
RemarkableCloud vs ScalaHosting, your questions answered.
Is ScalaHosting genuinely managed hosting?
Yes. ScalaHosting has been in hosting since 2007, with real server management included on its VPS plans alongside genuinely capable support. It is a credible managed-hosting provider, not a budget shared host or raw cloud. RemarkableCloud is also genuinely fully managed, so the comparison is not about whether the management is real on either side. It is about the control panel, whether the uptime guarantee pays out automatically, and whether features like offsite backups and the mail gateway are bundled or billed as add-ons.
What is SPanel, and does RemarkableCloud use it?
SPanel is ScalaHosting's in-house control panel, offered as an alternative to cPanel with no per-account license cost. It is a genuine product and works well for standard hosting, but it is a single ecosystem: anything SPanel does not support means working around the platform. RemarkableCloud does not use SPanel. It gives you panel freedom instead: RemarkablePanel is included free, or you can run cPanel, DirectAdmin, or Plesk on a full root server, so you are never tied to one panel.
How is RemarkableCloud's 500% SLA different from ScalaHosting's guarantee?
ScalaHosting backs its servers with a standard uptime guarantee, where credits depend on filing a claim after the fact. RemarkableCloud's 500% SLA credits you automatically from minute one of any downtime: one hour down means five hours of service credited back to your account. There is no threshold to breach, no claim form to file, and no support ticket required. The credit is calculated and applied to your next invoice for you.
Can I migrate from ScalaHosting to RemarkableCloud for free?
Yes. RemarkableCloud includes free migration from ScalaHosting on every Cloud Cube plan, with no engineering work required on your side. Our team copies your files, databases, mail accounts, DNS records, and SSL certificates from your ScalaHosting server to your new Cloud Cube, tests everything on a staging URL, then coordinates a cutover window with you. Most migrations complete in 2 to 24 hours with no planned downtime, and you stay on ScalaHosting until we confirm the new server is verified.
Does RemarkableCloud include backups and a mail gateway?
Yes, on every plan. On ScalaHosting, offsite backups and an enterprise mail relay are not bundled into every plan by default. RemarkableCloud includes daily snapshots with free S3 backup storage, sized at twice the NVMe disk of the plan, plus the MailChannels SMTP relay with Rspamd antispam, on every Cloud Cube at one flat price. A real recovery point and inbox-grade mail deliverability are part of the service, not extra line items.
