What people say about InMotion Hosting
We read what InMotion Hosting's customers and review sites say, and sum it up in our own words: what people like, what they don't, and who it suits. Our score is the customer score, worked out from public ratings. We don't test hosts ourselves.

● Not enough customer ratings yet
We show a score once we have ratings from at least 2 platforms and 100 reviews.

What people say about InMotion Hosting
Our summary, in our own words, of what 10 review sites say. We don't test hosts ourselves, and we don't copy or quote anyone's review.
Across the reviews we read, InMotion Hosting is widely regarded as a dependable, feature-rich host whose US-based support stands out, with a long money-back window. Opinions split on speed and ease of use, and several reviewers note that backups cost extra and prices rise after the first term.
✓ Small and growing businesses that value phone and chat support✓ Developers and agencies hosting several sites✓ Sites that have outgrown basic shared hosting
Watch out for
! Backups usually cost extra! Renewal prices are much higher than first-term prices! Lower-tier plans may need a year or longer upfront! Uptime guarantee terms are described differently by different reviewers; check the current terms
