- SPanel for non-ScalaHosting shared hosting plans
American web hosting provider ScalaHosting has released an update to SPanel that allows it to be used in shared hosting plans. The update gives shared hosting customers (and resellers) at any of the top web hosting providers more flexibility and options in hosting panels for their hosting as cPanel increases prices for 2025.
SPanel has largely been considered one of the best alternatives to cPanel and offers a variety of features for people who want to move away from cPanel.
SPanel is developed by ScalaHosting to manage servers, websites and email accounts efficiently. It offers enhanced security, resource management, and easy-to-use tools. Other panels exist, but they have always struggled to compete with cPanel due to being limited to one hosting provider or lacking features and value for money.
The final step to create a viable alternative to cPanel/WHM
Chris Russev, CEO and co-founder of ScalaHosting & SPanel.io, told TechRadar Pro: “Making SPanel available to shared hosting customers was the final step in transforming it into a complete alternative to cPanel/WHM. What really sets it apart to our dashboard What stands out is their community-driven development approach.” He added: “Instead of creating features based on our preferences, we take a different path: we allow web developers and hosting users to shape them according to their real needs.”
Russev went on to say: “In features.spanel.ioAnyone can suggest new features and vote on existing ones. We prioritize and develop requests from users who receive the most votes, ensuring the platform evolves to meet the needs of its community.”
Turn any self-managed hosting into a fully managed one
A key feature is the support directly integrated into the panel. Russev explained: “Another important difference is the 24/7 live technical support included with every SPanel license, making it the first fully managed hosting control panel. This unique feature can transform any self-managed hosting service into a fully managed one.”
For existing ScalaHosting shared hosting customers, the option to switch to SPanel will be offered from now until March 1st. Technical support can handle the migration smoothly and without downtime. Those who want to stay on cPanel can do so.
