If you own and operate your own website you’ve probably heard of Joomla and
before, and you may even be a loyal customer of either of these platforms already. In late 2020 the president of Joomla’s parent company, Open Source Matters Inc., announced that Scala Hosting was going to become a platinum sponsor of the organization. But what exactly does this mean for the consumer?
What Is Scala Hosting?
Founded in 2008, Scala Hosting has been on a mission to provide the best fully managed
service on the market. It’s becoming a go-to choice for those looking for the security and stability offered by hosting their site on a dedicated server. Scala gives users the opportunity to host an unlimited number of sites, has industry-leading page loading speeds, advanced security features, and 24/7 support.More importantly, it has an in-house software development team that gives the organization a lot more independence than what you’ll see at rival hosting platforms.
What Does This Sponsorship Deal Mean?
With this new strategic partnership, we can expect to see Joomla users access professional hosting capabilities at a lower cost. It can sometimes be prohibitively expensive for small businesses and freelancers to access the benefits of a dedicated server, many resorting to shared hosting options. However, this new partnership should make the private VPS option much more affordable.
What’s more, both new and old Joomla customers will be some of the first people to try out cutting edge tech like
, an all-in-one web hosting solution which will give website owners everything they need to grow their business as well as offering a whole range of cutting edge security features. Many in the industry believe these types of one-stop shop solutions are going to be the future of web hosting and we can expect other providers to set up partnerships with other content management platforms soon.By getting in on the trend early, Scala hopes to get a head start over its competitors and take advantage of the benefits these types of partnerships can bring.
Perhaps most importantly though is that Scala is now the exclusive VPS provider for Joomla, making it the only place for fans of the platform to get the fastest loading speeds, most reliable uptime and industry-leading security measures.
Joomla users should see an improvement in loading speeds, reliability, and security if they choose to host with
too. The hosting giant has been optimizing its platform to work seamlessly with Joomla for more than a decade now and this high degree of integration should lead to better performance all round.
