Overview
InMotion, a relatively new California web page hosting provider, founded in Year 2001 is one of a few web hosting companies that is fully owned and operated by the employees of the company. Their staffs has average over 4 years of experience and some senior staffs have over 10 years of hosting experience. Since it is their own business and as a member of Better Business Bureau (BBB), you can expect good level of customer and technical support.

Key Hosting Features
The basic hosting plan, Launch, provided by InMotion is an entry level web hosting plan designed for small business websites. Therefore, you can expect almost all the basic hosting features that you’ll be required (please refer the detail InMotion hosting features on the left column). Basically, it offers a very attractive hosting package of 300 GB of disk space and 3,000 GB of bandwidth, which is more than sufficient for most of the websites. However, the basic Launch Plan does not support e-Commerce features, domain features and raw log files. Unless you need these features, otherwise, InMotion’s Launch Plan should be able to fulfill most of all your hosting needs.

Customer Support
InMotion provides 24/7 email support desk. While their toll free phone support 888-321-4678 only available from Monday – Friday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM EST. The support forum provided by InMotion is an extremely useful forum that cover various topics from website setup, website design to website promotions. It is also a good place for you to ask your pre-sale questions if you have. Moreover, it is a good way to see if you can get a fast response from their support staffs too!

Data Center
InMotion uses Dell PowerEdge servers running on Redhat or FreeBSD operating systems. They also use SUN Microsystems machines in some cases. All servers are backboned under BGP4 network with fault tolerant IP routing to ensure all websites stays up all the time.

Testimonials

” inMotion does everything I want it to do and I’m not considering moving when my renewal comes around in a month or so so I think I will stay. I was looking around here for alternative providers but to be honest I don’t think any of them come close!”

Awards
InMotion has earned few awards, including:

“Best Customer Service Host of 2003” – 100 Best Web Hosting
“C|NET Certified Service Provider (3 out of 3 Stars)” – C|NET
“99% Customer Rating Score” – Hosting Assured Company

Summary
InMotion is a relatively young and small company with small customers based (only 3,000). InMotion web hosting features are certainly not the best in the market and can be considered in the ‘middle of the road’ when compared to other web hosting providers in our review. Perhaps due to the small customer based, InMotion hosting is reputable for their friendly technical support and fast email response. We tested them with few email queries and they proved to meet that claim.
