We love InMotion web hosting for many reasons and why we gave them such a high rating. You can read our InMotion Review here: https://hostratings.com/reviews/inmotion
They have an amazing offering of services from WordPress Hosting, VPS Hosting, and Dedicated Servers. They are privately owned, based in the U.S., provide U.S. based support, in business since 2001, have 170,000+ customers, and 350+ people on their support team.
Their support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. InMotion has your back and will help with anything you need for your web host plan. Every support team member goes through a rigorous training program for WordPress, Linux, NGINX, and so much more.
We personally love and use cPanel/WHM for the ease of use and server management, which InMotion makes available. It makes your hosting experience so much easier and faster to accomplish everyday tasks such viewing traffic, creating email accounts, creating databases, and so much more.

Shared Hosting
This is a great type of hosting to begin with and they offer plans starting around $2.00 per month! You can get started quickly and for an incredibly low price. This gives you a website, emails, storage, and much more than you might expect for this price.
It’s a great entry point for anyone looking to create their first website on a domain. Some people use this for personal sites, but you can also use it for your company or business.
VPS
This type of hosting plan give you more memory, speed, and server space. It’s a great step up from Shared Hosting once your website begins to get more traffic and users.
It gives you more control over your website and provides a boost in performance for your sites. It also allows you to host more domains on the same account if you have a need for it. The price is slightly more, but it’s worth it.
Dedicated Server
This is the best type of hosting for anyone who needs the best performance and ultimate control over their hosting. You can host many domains on the same server if you want or you can run only one website for the ultimate in performance.
We use this type of server for this site (HostRatings.com) and this ensures we can provide the fastest response time. It also allows you to have Linux shell access if you need it.
The other benefit is that your account is the only thing running on the server, which ensures that only you are using the processing power and disk space of the server. We highly suggest moving to this once your sites have a fair amount of traffic. It also helps boost your ratings on Google and other search engines because speed is a ranking factor.
WordPress
This is one of the most popular content management systems out there and what we use for most all of our websites. It can help you rank, is easy to manage, has a huge number of free and paid themes, a huge number of free and paid plugins (enhances the functionality of your site), and so much more.
InMotion provides many WordPress hosting options and you can use this on their Shared, VPS, and Dedicated web hosting plans. Did we mention that WordPress is completely free? It is 🙂
You can easily install it on any of the plans InMotion offers by downloading it at https://wordpress.org or within your web host panel.
Linux Web Hosting
This is the most common server hosting operating system and is what WordPress (for example) was designed to run on. Have you ever seen the abbreviation LAMP? That stands for Linux Apache MySQL PHP. Linux is the OS that is the server system, Apache is what serves the web pages, MySQL or MariaDB is the database system that stores data, and PHP is the code that interprets the code written (such as WordPress).
I know that’s quite a bit of geeky details, but all of these pieces work together amazingly well. They are all Open Source and are always under development. We used CentOS for our servers, but it has been replaced by AlmaLinux.
Why InMotion?
We have provided you with a great deal of information on the company already, but beyond that they have one of the best help resources online. We routinely find help articles their team has written when Googling for solutions to our questions.
Recently we were looking for optimization tips for OPCache and found an extensive article they wrote. They gave us the answer we were looking for! If you were wondering, OPCache is a method of using server memory to cache web pages and components. This module alone boosts website speed significantly. We seriously love InMotion 🙂
We encourage you to look at their web hosting and sign up for one of their amazing plans.
