RELIABLE - UPTIME
Uptime of any hosting company is essential for its success in the market. As today we have multiple competitors in the web hosting industry. InMotion hosting is one of the oldest kids in town; its speed and stability set it apart from other hosting companies. Looking at it from a perspective where the company is almost 20 years old there are bound to be some ups and downs. However, InMotion never disappointed its customers.
InMotion uptime is not that great compared to new hosting companies like Kinsta or Wpengine, but it does know how to pack a punch. They guarantee 99.99% Uptime, but upon checking for one year, it resulted as 99.94%, which is pretty much standard requirement of the Hosting Industry.
SPEED - LIGHTING FAST
Speed once again plays a crucial role in building up any hosting company. InMotion promises many things when it comes to their service speed. If you are living in the USA, speed shouldn’t be an issue for you. InMotion can provide top speed in the United States. However, it is not like that they can not provide high speeds worldwide.
InMotion provides excellent speeds where ever you are in the world. But not as high compared to the USA. On average, the response time of their server is 890ms, which is excellent, making them even faster than a second. With those stats, InMotion is currently standing 7.4% better in speed compared to its competitors.

INMOTION - PARTNERS
CONS OF INMOTION
ONLY LINUX – NO WINDOWS
One of the biggest con that I faced was that InMotion Dedicated Servers are entirely Linux Based. No Windows or Windows Application support is there, to begin with, which is a kind of a massive thing for me and maybe for some users as they are very comfortable while using Windows Platform.
Considering Linux is a complicated platform to get the hang of it. As if you decided to purchase a bare-metal server, you are required to know almost everything there is to manage a Linux based system. However, if you decided to go for the Managed Dedicated Server, InMotion got you covered and provides 100% support and assistance.
PRICE TAGS – NOT CHEAP
Price can help you climb, or it leads you to a darker path. Another type of Con, in my opinion, is InMotion Prices. Their Services, whether you go for Shared Hosting, VPS, Reseller, or Dedicated Server, are steep. But if you look at it from a different prespective, Great things aren’t always cheap, consider InMotion a brand than you can understand.
There is zero to no doubt that InMotion is a great hosting company. It has an existence of almost 20 years now. How can you not trust somebody who is powering such huge names in the IT Industry?
MARK'S VERDICT
Ok! it is time for my opinion on InMotion Service. Ah! Where should I start? I have been using and testing their Dedicated servers, both types of them Managed & Bare-Metal, for over a year now, and I was never disappointed with any of their services. Mainly when I talked about the Cons, It was not that hard moving to a Linux based server. But I had issues at first, and amazingly, they got resolved on high-priority proving InMotion Excellent Dedicated Support. One more of their feature that I took in consideration was there launch assist, which helped me in so many ways possible that I can not even count, As the first Server I purchased was a Bare-Metal one which gave me A Windows Based Server user a hard time to learn.
Overall in my personal opinion, InMotion is an excellent choice if you are not looking for something cheap. However, if you need performance and are not to low on a budget, you should go for InMotion. I can promise you that you won’t regret your decision, here I’m not only talking about your Dedicated Hosting Service, But This statement is also covering up each of InMotion Service.
