InMotion has significantly improved their web hosting service since our last review. They now offer unlimited disk space and bandwidth, support for most programming languages/environments, and one of the most complete support packages we've seen to date.

Inmotion is also accredited with the BBB, and have an awesome 'A-' rating. We would like to see InMotion support Ruby on Rails (RoR), and clearly post pricing for hosting upgrades such as dedicated IP addresses and SSL certificates.

If you don't need any of that 'fancy' web hosting, InMotion are still a solid company with a stellar support record. They're also highly favored among professional and personal web hosting users, as noted by their high marks on other popular web host review sites.

Pricing:   Excellent

InMotion pricing is middle of the road; they don't have monthly plans, but 1- and 2-year plans are available for $119.40 and $214.80 prepaid, with no setup fees. If you're not happy with their service you can cancel within 30 days of signup and get your money back.

Your first domain registration/transfer with InMotion is free. We didn't find pricing for additional domains, dedicated IP addresses, private domain registration, or SSL certificates.

Domains:   Excellent

InMotion offers standard domain services like search and registration, parked and addon domains and subdomains at no added charge. If you want domain privacy or need to transfer multiple domains to InMotion it will cost extra.

Ecommerce Hosting:   Excellent

Ecommerce hosting through Inmotion is compatible with Google Checkout, and shopping cart systems like Cube Cart, OS Commerce, and Zen Cart. An SSL secure certificate is needed if you intend to accept credit card payments, and is not free.

Email:   Excellent

Another area where InMotion are not clear about their service is Email. They offer POP3, IMAP, SMTP, and Webmail, but don't list how many addresses or how much storage space you get. Forwarding, Aliases, catch-all accounts, auto-responders and spam protection are standard with InMotion's most basic package.

Access:   Excellent

InMotion allows access to your site and account settings through a control panel, and FTP access with 2000 FTP accounts.

Password-protecting directories is easy with InMotion's .htaccess support.

Programming / Multimedia:   Excellent

For programming, InMotion support the following:

  • CGI
  • Perl
  • PHP
  • Python
  • SSI
  • Cron Jobs
  • FrontPage Extensions
  • MySQL
  • Flash / Shockwave

Multimedia supported on InMotion servers:

  • Real Audio/Video streaming
  • MIDI Files|
  • Other streaming formats may be available with a dedicated IP address
Support & Service:   Excellent

This is where InMotion really shines. They have 24/7 phone, email, and chat support; video tutorials, FAQs, a knowledgebase, and forums where InMotion customers can share their knowledge and expertise.

Summary:  

Overall, InMotion Launch is a perfect choice for anyone that needs a low traffic site with an exceptional email service. They also support a quick and knowledgeable customer support and offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you need a faster site with more storage, they offer a 'Power' and a 'Pro' package.
