InMotion Hosting Review

Inmotion hosting emphasizes on three things – speed, reliability and cost. They claim to score full points on these three fronts. Their web hosting network is based on Unix and Linux and they monitor it all the time not just for checking and resolving problems but also for performance improvements. Their claims are really alluring especially because they provide money back guarantee too. The people at Inmotion are really on the ball and know what they are doing. We recently visited their offices in LA and were pretty impressed with their drive, quality consciousness and customer service focus.

The price factor

There are three different hosting packages available from inmotion hosting and the cheapest package (called ‘Launch’ package) comes for just $6.95 per month. The other 2 packages are $8.95 and $18.95 . However, you will need to pay for a minimum of 12 months for the launch package. The ‘Pro’ package is available for 1 month time frame too but the setup fee for less than 6 month period is around $40 (waived if you pay for 6 months). Overall pretty decent pricing.

InMotion Hosting’s Hosting features

Launch package is the lowest priced hosting package from InMotion Hosting and is suited for websites that don’t require disk space of more than 300 GB. However, if you do want more space and additional features, you can go for other packages. The monthly transfer rate starts from 3000 GB on the ‘Launch’ package and goes on to 9000 GB for the ‘Pro’ package (which comes for $18.95 per month). Note : Inmotion Hosting is now offering Unlimited Disk Space and Unlimited Data Transfer on all its plans.

The 30 self installing scripts that come with all packages are quite useful. Also, as opposed to just one website builder, there is a choice of 2 website builders from InMotion Hosting. Those people who use ‘dreamweaver’ will really find InMotion Hosting very useful – since InMotion Hosting also provide dreamweaver compatibility. Moreover, you also get support for streaming video/ audio. For people who want to include ‘blogging’, the latest trend on the internet, InMotion Hosting provides five different blogger software (including WordPress and b2evolution). Again, all this comes as part of web hosting packages.

Customer support

InMotion Hosting has received several awards and this includes an award for customer support. In fact this award is the one that gives you a lot of confidence in the services of InMotion Hosting. Their commitment towards customer support is also reflected in their own statement about their services. Flash tutorials and guides are quite good. Forums are useful too. But one of the best things is availability of live chat option. If you use a dialup internet connection, you don’t have to disconnect your line in order to phone customer support you can do it online through live chat. So, user guides, phone support and live chat - all options are available. With 24/7 customer support, InMotion Hosting is suited to everyone irrespective of their location on the globe.

Reliability

Inmotionhosting provides an uptime guarantee of 99.9% which is one of the best among the various hosting service providers. The testimonials from customers and the various awards that they have received, indicate that they are indeed serious on this front. Continuous monitoring of networks and the focus on performance improvement further bolsters this belief.
In simple words, InMotion Hosting has a really good proposition especially if you are looking for large webspace and bandwidth
