Kinsta vs ScalaHosting
Both ladders below were read from the vendors’ own pricing pages, in this market, on the dates shown. Nothing is converted: what you see is what each page showed a reader here.
What each one is
Kinstasite ↗pricing ↗
Managed WordPress hosting on Google Cloud, aimed at businesses that want performance and support rather than the cheapest plan. Paid plans start at $35/mo (Single 20GB); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 10 paid tiers, topping out at $450/mo (WP 40).
ScalaHostingsite ↗pricing ↗
A hosting company selling managed VPS with its own control panel instead of cPanel. Paid plans start at $2.95/mo (Mini); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 4 paid tiers, topping out at $14.95/mo (Entry Cloud). We read the same $2.95/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.

| Plan | Price | What the page says |
|---|---|---|
| Single 20GB | $35/mo ($30 ↓) | Managed WordPress on Google Cloud C2, Cloudflare enterprise integration, free migrations, staging |
| Single 40GB | $50/mo ($42 ↓) | As Single 20GB, with more bandwidth |
| Single 65GB | $90/mo ($75 ↓) | As Single 20GB, with more bandwidth |

| Single 500GB | $375/mo | Top single-site tier. The annual figure was read directly; the monthly figure was cut off by the table's horizontal scroll and is deliberately left unread rather than inferred. |
| WP 2 | $70/mo ($59 ↓) | Same platform as the single-site plans; the price buys install count |
| WP 5 | $115/mo ($96 ↓) | As WP 2, with five installs |

Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: ScalaHosting at $2.95/mo, against Kinsta at $35/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: neither publishes one. Any free access here is a trial, which is a deadline.
- How far each ladder goes: Kinsta tops out at $450/mo, ScalaHosting at $14.95/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- ScalaHosting: We read the same $2.95/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.
How to choose in this category
- Match the tier to the sites and storage you actually use — the levels here divide on resources, not features.
- Introductory terms in this set run one to four years; a lower monthly figure often buys a longer lock-in.
- Every row links the host’s own pricing page. Open it and read the renewal line before you commit to a term.
