*📜 Plan description

Built for a single starter site that still wants business-class infrastructure. Core includes 1 website, 100GB SSD storage, unmetered bandwidth, free email, free SSL, malware and DDoS protection, and guided website migration. The price grid shows the lowest starting price at $2.99/mo on the 1-year term (renews $11.99/mo); 2- and 3-year terms start at $3.19/mo (renew $10.99/mo) and monthly is $14.49/mo list. A free domain credit ($23 value) is included on annual terms; monthly excludes it. Core is intentionally simple: launch a blog, brochure, or portfolio with room to grow, and lean on InMotion’s NVMe-backed platform (Core uses fast SSD; higher tiers add NVMe) plus modern developer access via Hosting Plus (Python/Node.js/Ruby/Git) to experiment without fiddling with servers. When traffic rises beyond the ~20K visits/month guidance, you can bump straight to Launch or Power without re-platforming.

All Shared Hosting plans on this page emphasize speed, security, and human support. InMotion provisions shared plans on NGINX-based UltraStack with NVMe SSDs for Launch/Power/Pro and advertises 99.99% reliability, 99.9% uptime guarantee, 90-day money-back guarantee, and 24×7 access to real people by chat and phone. Features include cPanel, one-click app installer, free SSL, malware/DDoS/web application firewall, no-downtime migrations, and Hosting Plus dev tools. Plan limits scale by tier (websites: 1/2/10/40; NVMe storage: 100/200/300GB on upper tiers) with Pro adding agency features (WHM access + up to four segmented cPanel accounts) and an included dedicated IP. Data centers are available in California and Virginia (US) and Amsterdam (NL), helping you place sites close to visitors. Pricing is shown per-term with renewal rates listed next to each plan on the same page.

📄 Editorial Review

InMotion Hosting is a privately owned, eco-conscious provider founded in 2001 by Todd Robinson and Sunil Saxena. With 170,000+ customers and 300+ staff, they position themselves as a "customer service company that happens to offer web hosting," backing that up with 24/7 human support and an emphasis on open-source technologies. Their network runs on Linux/Unix and spans thousands of servers across the U.S. and Europe.

Product lineup. They cover the full spectrum: Shared Hosting (with NVMe SSDs and UltraStack optimizations), Hosting for WordPress and Managed WordPress, UltraStack ONE for high-demand WordPress, VPS Hosting (managed/unmanaged), Cloud VPS, Dedicated & Bare Metal Servers, Enterprise solutions (including clusters/private networks), Reseller Hosting & Reseller VPS, eCommerce Hosting, Minecraft servers, plus domains, professional email, and site design services. One-click installers (Softaculous) and support for 400+ apps are included, and popular CMS stacks (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, PrestaShop) receive special attention with tuned environments and security hardening.

Shared & WordPress. Shared plans are built for speed (NVMe SSD, caching, UltraStack), security (free SSL, malware/DDoS protection, SSH), and ease (cPanel, one-click installs, BoldGrid builder). Agencies get niceties like WHM access and segmented cPanel accounts under one plan. WordPress users can choose standard hosting or the UltraStack ONE VPS-based option (NGINX, Redis, PHP-FPM, triple-redundant storage) for high-traffic sites with a 99.99% uptime target.

VPS & Cloud. Managed VPS plans include NVMe storage, Launch Assist migrations, a monitoring dashboard, SSH, DDoS protection, and optional cPanel or Control Web Panel. They publish long lists of supported stacks (Docker, Node.js, Redis, ElasticSearch, PostgreSQL, etc.), which will appeal to developers and growing stores needing PCI-conscious setups.

Dedicated & Enterprise. Dedicated servers emphasize performance (SSD/NVMe, up to 10 Gbps), security, and Premier Care (priority support, proactive monitoring, personal onboarding). Enterprise customers can build multi-server architectures with private networking, unmetered bandwidth, and 1–5 year price locks.

Reseller. Reseller plans include NVMe storage, cPanel/WHM, WHMCS, a free dedicated IP, white-label branding, and domain resale tools—aimed squarely at designers and small agencies.

Sustainability & culture. They highlight a long-running green initiative—including what they call the first "Green Data Center" in Los Angeles—along with active support for open-source (founding member of OpenInfra) and substantial internal training for support teams.
