Currently running a $5.99/mo. promotion, inMotion Hosting offers offers solid hosting with a great control panel (Cpanel) and options to increase your ftp accounts and other features for $7.99/mo. and $13.99/mo.. They include site building tools to help you get started, and offer scalability. A reputable host, their service offering is a bit different than some of the other hosting companies as they don’t provide everything under one plan.

Location

Based in San Diego? No. InMotion is not located in San Diego but is a near neighbor as they are located in Los Angeles.

Reliability

InMotion boasts fully redundant (N+1), climate controlled data centers on both coasts to offer customer reliability. InMotion Hosting recently invested in improvements to both data centers that included upgrades to carrier level platforms. They have four Tier 1 ISP providers at all times – meaning even if something catastrophic happens (think major natural disaster),there are multiple backups to keep your data flowing. They also recently upgraded routers to carrier grade level for maximum efficiency. Talk about security! Their data centers are some of the most secure places on earth with armed guards, hand scanners and locked vaults – like stuff you might see in sci-fi movies. InMotion is one of the only hosts we’ve seen offer a speed test too.

inMotion Hosting’s network services are monitored 24/7. Any outages should be handled fairly quickly. In general, the company’s server systems seem very reliable.

Money Back Guarantee

As with any good host, inMotion Hosting provides a money back guarantee. This is an area they have decided to outplay their competitors and provide a 90 Day money back guarantee. There are some nonrefundable fees, though, that you won’t get back if you choose to leave inMotion Hosting right after you pay them (like fees for services beyond a selected plan or costs paid to third party providers), but that’s the common practice among hosting services.

Ease of Use

inMotion Hosting uses cPanel, like many other hosts do, but their best site builder isn’t built in automatically. You have to ask for it to get installed.

Technical Support

InMotion clasims they have broken and fixed just about everything website hosting related that can be broken and fixed. Combining this knowledge with friendly staff and responsive management yields a fairly good support team. InMotionHosting has been rated as the best hosting service provider at WebHostingGeeks.com and HowToGetOnline.net.

Conclusion

With all the features it has to offer, inMotion Hosting is definitely the a choice for going online with your small business or personal website. It’s not what we’d consider a first choice due to the lakc of  but if you go beyond the usual requirements inMotion Hosting will be glad to offer you options for VPS and Dedicated Servers.

InMotion is more for technically savvy users who  customize cron jobs, Apache, and PHP Scripts.
