InMotion Review
InMotion has been doing web hosting since 2001. Recent reviews show that improvement of their services for the past years has been quite noticeable. In fact they are now offering one of the most complete hosting packages up to date.
Best For Businesses, Not For Personal Websites.
Why? Aside from the most relevant tools and features for a business website, InMotion’s Business Class Account includes Search Engine Optimization assistance and access to their own certified Google Adwords specialists.
InMotion does offer plans to service bloggers and other personal websites. But based on my research and experience with InMotion vs other hosts like iPage or BlueHost, I recommend InMotion for small to medium sized businesses, and iPage for blogs and personal websites.
THE BESTS OF InMotion
Editor’s Pick – Hosting Review – 2009
CNET Certified Service Provider
Multiple Packages
One of the best things about InMotion is that they offer multiple packages to cater to the different needs and preference of users. You will notice that most low cost web hosting providers only offer one package, well with InMotion, you get to choose a package that best suits what you simply need which of course features and services that are relevant and what you are only willing to pay for.
Unique Control Panel
A typical control panel is found on the hosting website itself. With InMotion, the control panel is on its own. If you’ve had experiences with other hosting providers that bombard users with company add-ons, offers, etc., with InMotion, you will be spared from all these distractions. This way, you may simply focus on getting your website done the way you want it.
A Low-Cost Web Host with 2 Different Data Centers
Why is this important? If you are running a business that needs constant communication with the website back office, an accessible data center is really convenient. And this is usually not the case with most low-cost hosting providers. InMotion has not just one but two data centers! Their data centers are located in downtown L.A. and the other one near Washington, DC.

I know nothing when it…
I know nothing when it comes to programming and all that stuff, but I see no problem with that in using Inmotion. It’s pretty easy to use with the cPanel and all other features. Creating and managing my site is no trouble at all. Although I am not 100% impressed with how exactly my website looks as of the moment. I like it really but I want it to look better, I mean really great and unique. I am not sure though if my not so 100% satisfaction is really because of Inmotion or my lack of the eyes for making a really attractive website. It’s not that I hate how my site looks okay, I just feel like there is something missing with the design, originality, stand-out factor and stuff. But since Inmotions’s features and tools are pretty amazineg, I am more convinced that the lacking end is coming from me. I guess there are really people who are good at these things, designing and all that, apparently I am not exactly the type. I feel like I overdo things that why. I guess I need better training on this. I really can’t blame Inmotion for this dissatisfaction.
Email functions, reliability and availability are great with Inmotion. Uptime is pretty stable. I am quite a perfectionist, so for me to be okay with Inmotion I guess makes it a pretty good thing. I’ve got really nothing to complain about them aside from the fact that hosting packages are pricey as compared to other low cost web hosts that I checked over the net. Although the payment seems to compensate well enough for the quality hosting you get.

With less than $6 you…
With less than $6 you can have the three U’s. Unlimited Bandwidth, Unlimited Space and Unlimited Uptime! That’s right. That’s what i got with the ultimate InMotion. It also supported my video and pictures needs. All i ever wanted to upload was uploaded quickly, sometimes with delays, but still, it a big feature for me. And now, it is also easy to transfer from one domain to a new one, and it’s absolutely free with InMotion. That’s just great!

If you want satisfaction, InMotion…
If you want satisfaction, InMotion will give that to you! Great service comes in great prices, NOT! With InMotion, you can have a domain for atleast 7 dollars. and with that 7 dollars, you can have unlimited bandwidth and space. Nothing Less, nothing more! If you are finding a domain for your website, I urge you to use InMotion because if you want to be known to be a great web owner, you gotta be in motion to do so!

Being a webmaster is a tricky job. The heart and soul of a website rely on the goodness and stability of its host. If you are planning to start your own website, try InMotion. With its cheap price but not lesser service, you can have all the fun that you need while you are running your own website. there might be times that things will be a little tricky, but do not falter. everything will be all right. just stand right beside inmotion all the way and you will do great.
