📄 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.
