ScalaHosting's Black Friday 2026 sale is live: since October 19 its Managed Cloud plans are 59% to 71% off, from $22.46 a month on 12 months. Before this year, ScalaHosting cut its Managed Cloud VPS to $14.98 a month on each of the last three Black Fridays, 2023, 2024 and 2025. In 2024 every Managed Cloud Build plan was half the price ScalaHosting showed on October 1. That makes this the sale to watch if you want a managed cloud server without paying managed-server prices.
I tested ScalaHosting before writing a word of this. Entry Cloud answered in 38ms from New York and in 58ms with 100 visitors at once, failed no request up to 250 visitors and stayed up 99.99%. I'm Mangesh, with 10+ years in ISP and network infrastructure, and below are ScalaHosting's own sale pages from each year, what you can buy today, and when waiting pays.
⚡ Is ScalaHosting Black Friday 2026 live? Yes, from October 19 to December 1, as ScalaHosting told its partners. Every Managed Cloud Build plan carries a Black Friday label, 59% to 71% off, with the price on the 12-month term. No code needed.

ScalaHosting Prices, Plan by Plan
ScalaHosting sells three kinds of plan: shared hosting, Entry Cloud (a small cloud server with its own CPU and RAM) and Managed Cloud, a VPS that its team sets up and looks after. Here is what each costs on the term that gives the lowest monthly price, the upfront payment and the renewal rate.
| Plan | Per month | Term | Paid upfront | Renews at | A year at renewal |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mini shared | $2.95/mo | 36 months | $106.20 | $11.95/mo | $143.40 |
| Start shared | $5.95/mo | 36 months | $214.20 | $14.95/mo | $179.40 |
| Advanced shared, tested | $9.95/mo | 36 months | $358.20 | $19.95/mo | $239.40 |
| Entry Cloud tested | $14.95/mo | 12 months | $179.40 | $39.95/mo | $479.40 |
| Managed Cloud Build #1 managed VPS | $29.95/mo | 12 months | $359.40 | $54.95/mo | $659.40 |
| Managed Cloud Build #2 managed VPS | $44.95/mo | 12 months | $539.40 | $96.95/mo | $1,163.40 |
| Managed Cloud Build #3 managed VPS | $69.95/mo | 12 months | $839.40 | $170.95/mo | $2,051.40 |
| Managed Cloud Build #4 managed VPS | $94.95/mo | 12 months | $1,139.40 | $244.95/mo | $2,939.40 |
US dollars before tax. Entry Cloud is also sold on 36 months at $24.95/mo and month to month at $34.95/mo; every term renews at $39.95/mo. Mini hosts one website on 10 GB, Start and Advanced host unlimited websites on 50 GB and 100 GB. ScalaHosting does not print the Build plans' CPU, RAM and disk in its page text; Build #1 is 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM and 50 GB NVMe on its order form.
Black Friday 2026 prices on the Managed Cloud cards
The table above shows ScalaHosting's prices before the sale. Since October 19 the Managed Cloud cards show the Black Friday price instead: Build #1 $22.46, Build #2 $33.71, Build #3 $52.46 and Build #4 $71.21 a month on 12 months, and Entry Cloud is $11.21. Build #1's first year comes to $269.52 instead of $359.40.
12 or 36 months in the sale? The 12-month term has the lower monthly price ($22.46 against $29.95 for Build #1), and it is the price on ScalaHosting's banner. But it renews at $54.95/mo after one year. Over three years:
- 36 months: $29.95 × 36 = $1,078.20.
- 12 months, then renewal: $269.52 + $1,318.80 = $1,588.32.
If you will keep the server three years, the 36-month term saves $510.12. Take 12 months only if you might move within a year; the anytime money-back guarantee covers a change of mind.
Every ScalaHosting Black Friday Since 2021
These are ScalaHosting's own homepage offers on Black Friday weekend each year, set against the same page a few weeks before the sale.
| Year | What ScalaHosting's page said | Prices on the page | Lower than before the sale? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | No Black Friday wording on the homepage | The same VPS and shared prices as at the end of September | No |
| 2022 | No Black Friday wording on the homepage | Managed Cloud from $29.95, web hosting from $2.95 | No: the same figures on October 1 |
| 2023 | "Black Friday" on each Build card, 55% to 70% off | Build #1 $14.98, #2 $31.98, #3 $60.98, #4 $89.98 a month | Yes: early October showed $29.95, $63.95, $121.95 and $179.95 |
| 2024 | "Black Friday" on each Build card, 70% to 80% off; web hosting from $2.66 | Build #1 $14.98, #2 $22.48, #3 $34.98, #4 $47.48 a month | Yes, by half: October 1 showed $29.95, $44.95, $69.95 and $94.95 |
| 2025 | "Black Friday Deals", promo from October 30 to December 1; up to 80% off Managed Cloud, 67% unmanaged, 88% shared | Managed from $14.98, unmanaged from $9.98, web hosting from $1.48 | Yes: early October showed managed from $29.95 and web hosting from $2.95 |
| 2026 | "Black Friday" on each Build card from October 19, 59% to 71% off | Build #1 $22.46, #2 $33.71, #3 $52.46, #4 $71.21 a month; Entry Cloud $11.21 (72% off) | Yes, by a quarter: the day before showed $29.95, $44.95, $69.95 and $94.95 |
The 2024 and 2026 cards show the 12-month term selected. ScalaHosting's "% off" labels are measured against its higher regular rate, not against the October price. On December 4, 2025, after the promo ended, the homepage still showed managed from $22.46 and web hosting from $2.66.
ScalaHosting Black Friday, year by year
Since 2023 ScalaHosting's Black Friday has cut the price shown before the sale, not just a regular rate few people pay. Until October 18, 2026 the four Build prices were the same as on October 1, 2024, the month before it halved them; the 2026 sale has cut them by a quarter so far. In 2023, 2024 and 2025 Build #1 reached $14.98 by Black Friday weekend, and this page shows any lower price the day it lands.

How ScalaHosting Held Up in Our Tests
We ran the same WordPress site on three ScalaHosting plans and on the cloud and VPS plans buyers usually compare it with. We measured response time (TTFB) from 10 locations at the origin server, with no CDN in front, a load ramp from 0 to 250 clients at once, and uptime over 54 days. Full method: How We Test.
| Host | TTFB, New York | 10 locations | 100 at once | Failed | Uptime |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ScalaHosting Entry Cloud | 38ms | 84ms | 58ms | 0% | 99.99% 8 minutes down |
| ScalaHosting managed VPS (Start) | 23ms | 51ms | 33ms | 0% | 99.997% 2 minutes down |
| ScalaHosting shared Advanced | 59ms | 132ms | 98ms | 0% | 99.99% 8 minutes down |
| Hostinger KVM 2 VPS | 141ms | 129ms | 120ms | 0% | 99.97% 23 minutes down |
| Hostinger Cloud Startup | 224ms | 205ms | 300ms | 0.4% | 99.97% 23 minutes down |
| ChemiCloud Starter | 84ms | 187ms | 240ms | 0% | 99.97% 23 minutes down |
Lower is better for response times. "10 locations" is the average TTFB across our 10 test locations; "100 at once" is the response time with 100 visitors at the same moment. Failed requests are counted over the whole ramp to 250 clients, 8,250 requests per host: Hostinger Cloud Startup 33, none of the other plans failed a request. The managed VPS we benchmarked was sold as Start at the time; we have not matched it to one of today's Build plans, so it carries no price on this page.
Every ScalaHosting plan we tested answered 100 visitors at once in under a tenth of a second and failed no requests. Entry Cloud was about twice as quick under that load as Hostinger's KVM 2 and five times as quick as Hostinger Cloud Startup, and even shared Advanced beat both. The managed VPS was the fastest plan in this table. If a Black Friday sale brings a managed Build plan close to Entry Cloud's price, that is a lot of server for the money.
What ScalaHosting Costs Over Four Years, Compared
A low first-term price hides the renewal, so the fair comparison is the whole bill. Here is four years on each plan at today's prices: the first term at the intro price, then the renewal rate for the rest.
| Host and plan | First term | Four-year total | 100 visitors at once |
|---|---|---|---|
| ChemiCloud Starter, shared | $2.95/mo, 36 months | $249.60 | 240ms |
| Hostinger Cloud Startup | $7.99/mo, 48 months | $383.52 | 300ms |
| Hostinger KVM 2 VPS | $8.99/mo, 24 months | $575.52 | 120ms |
| ScalaHosting shared Advanced | $9.95/mo, 36 months | $597.60 | 98ms |
| ScalaHosting Entry Cloud, 36-month term | $24.95/mo, 36 months | $1,377.60 | 58ms |
| ScalaHosting Entry Cloud, 12-month term | $14.95/mo, 12 months | $1,617.60 | 58ms |
| ScalaHosting Managed Cloud Build #1 | $29.95/mo, 12 months | $2,337.60 | see the managed VPS test above |
Today's prices before tax, renewing on the same term. The test column is the same load ramp on the same WordPress site for every plan.
Two things stand out. Entry Cloud's 12-month price is the lowest per month, but over four years the 36-month term costs less, because the renewal starts two years later. And Managed Cloud's renewal is steep: Build #1 renews at $54.95/mo, nearly twice today's price, so a Black Friday first year only softens the first of four. If 2026 repeats the 2024 price on a 12-month term, Build #1's first year would cost about $179.76 instead of $359.40.
What Happens When the First Term Ends
The intro price, and any Black Friday price, is for your first term only. After it, Entry Cloud renews at $39.95/mo, $479.40 a year; Managed Cloud Build #1 at $54.95/mo, $659.40 a year; shared Advanced at $19.95/mo, $239.40 a year. ScalaHosting prints the renewal under each plan card as "when you renew".
- Put the renewal date in your calendar when you buy, with a reminder about six weeks before.
- Take the longest term you are sure about. On Entry Cloud the 36-month term costs less over four years than the 12-month one, even though its monthly price is higher.
- Compare before it renews. Moving to another host can cost less than the renewal; our guide on whether to renew or move walks through the numbers.
How to Buy at the Lowest Price
- Open ScalaHosting's pricing page through our link. In the sale, the Black Friday price shows on the plan cards.
- Pick the plan: Entry Cloud for one busy site, a Managed Cloud Build if you want the server looked after, shared Advanced for a small site.
- Pick the term and read the upfront total next to it. The lowest monthly price is not always the cheapest over the years you plan to stay.
- Choose the data center closest to most of your visitors.
- Read the order summary, keep only the add-ons you chose, and check the "when you renew" line before you pay.

Who Should Buy It
ScalaHosting's servers run its own control panel, SPanel, instead of cPanel. Our ScalaHosting review covers how it works day to day, and our ScalaHosting coupon page covers the rest of the year.
Three Things to Check Before You Pay
- The term on the card. In 2024 the Black Friday prices sat on the 12-month term. Check which term is selected before you compare the sale with today's price.
- The renewal line. ScalaHosting prints it under each plan as "when you renew". Put that date in your calendar with a reminder six weeks before.
- The plan size. Entry Cloud and the managed VPS we tested held 100 visitors at once in well under a tenth of a second; a Build plan adds cores and memory, so buy the size your traffic needs, not the biggest discount.
My Plan for ScalaHosting Black Friday 2026
The Black Friday sale is live: Managed Cloud Build #1 is $22.46 a month on 12 months, down from $29.95/mo. That is a good price to lock in for a managed VPS. In 2023, 2024 and 2025 Managed Cloud reached $14.98 by Black Friday weekend, and this page shows any further drop the day it lands. Either way, put the renewal date in your calendar, because $54.95/mo is what it costs after that.
If you want the lowest price on a fast server, Entry Cloud at $11.21 a month in the sale answered 100 visitors at once in 58ms in my test, and the anytime money-back guarantee means you lose nothing by starting today.

ScalaHosting Black Friday FAQ
When does ScalaHosting Black Friday 2026 start?
It is live now and runs from October 19 to December 1, 2026, the dates ScalaHosting gave its partners. On October 19 ScalaHosting put Black Friday labels of 59% to 71% off on its Managed Cloud plans, with Build #1 at $22.46 a month on 12 months. Its 2025 Black Friday post said the promo ran from October 30 to December 1, 2025, so the sale started about four weeks before Black Friday. In 2023 and 2024 the Black Friday prices were on its homepage on Black Friday weekend; in 2023 they were gone by December 5, and in 2024 they were still up on December 6.
Is the ScalaHosting Black Friday price lower than the normal price?
Yes, on the records we have. In 2024 every Managed Cloud Build plan was half its early-October price on Black Friday weekend: Build #1 went from $29.95 to $14.98 a month. In 2023 Build #1 dropped from $29.95 to the same $14.98, and in 2025 Managed Cloud started at $14.98 against $29.95 in early October. The "70% off" and "80% off" labels are measured against ScalaHosting's higher regular rate, so the real cut against the October price was about half. The 2026 sale opened on October 19 a quarter below the price before it: Build #1 $22.46 against $29.95.
Do I need a coupon code for ScalaHosting Black Friday?
Not on the records we have: the Black Friday prices showed on the homepage plan cards. ScalaHosting's 2025 Black Friday post says its discounts and coupons only work inside the promo dates, so check the price in the cart rather than relying on an old code.
What does ScalaHosting renew at after the Black Friday term?
The sale price covers the first term only. Today Managed Cloud Build #1 renews at $54.95/mo, Build #2 at $96.95/mo, Entry Cloud at $39.95/mo and shared Advanced at $19.95/mo. Those renewals are well above even the regular price, so put the renewal date in your calendar.
Which ScalaHosting plan should I buy on Black Friday?
For one busy WordPress site or a small store, Entry Cloud: its own CPU and RAM, and it answered 100 visitors at once in 58ms in our test. If you want the server fully managed with room for several sites, Managed Cloud Build #1 is the plan the Black Friday sale has cut hardest in past years. For a small site on a budget, shared Advanced answered the same burst in 98ms.
Is ScalaHosting fast enough for WordPress?
In our tests, yes. Entry Cloud answered in 38ms from New York with one visitor and 58ms with 100 at once, without a failed request on the climb to 250 visitors, and stayed up 99.99% of the time over 54 days. The managed VPS plan we tested was quicker still: 33ms with 100 visitors at once.
Can I get a refund on a ScalaHosting Black Friday plan?
ScalaHosting advertises an anytime money-back guarantee on its plans. Domain fees and add-ons are usually handled apart from the hosting refund, so read ScalaHosting's refund terms before you pay if that matters to you.
