Best VPS Web Hosting (2008)

    InMotion VPS Hosting Overview

    InMotion is one of the first hosts to offer modern VPS hosting and their experience and expertise really makes a huge difference.

  • Preloaded with Cpanel so you can get started with your website and email immediately.
  • Service is guaranteed
  • High specs at a competitive price
  • Responsive support based in the United States
    One good and bad thing about InMotion is the "ready to go out of the box" aspect of InMotion's vps hosting. We like it, but super technical people might not.

          InMotion Evaluation

  • Performance
    There are three things that drive VPS hosting performance – hardware, number of virtual private servers on the hardware, and the resources each VPS gets. InMotion uses Dell 2950s with 16GB or 32GB of RAM, 2 high end Quad Core Xeon Processors and most importantly, 15K SAS hard drives. We wish they would release the number of VPS they put on a server, but they probably don't want their competitors to know. They do say it is tied to actual performance of the individual VPS and the types of packages that are on the hardware (they offer three). It would be good to know this, but their customer feedback often talks specifically about how fast the service is.

  • Reliability
    Their uptime is excellent, and we believe this is probably for a few reasons. Their servers are really high end with redundant power supplies and RAID5. This means that failed electronic components (like a hard drive) won't matter, your VPS will continue to run. Also, InMotion uses BGP4 bandwidth to help protect from problems with routing on the Internet. They also do a lot of “peering” with really big ISPs to help keep the routes short and fast. Last, InMotion allows for bursting of usage by your VPS, meaning that when your VPS gets a spike in traffic, it stays up and does not shut your site down.

  • Ease of Use
    A virtual private server is basically your own computer. Many hosts will have a limited setup and you will need to configure the vps to support a web site. One of the nicest things is InMotion's VPS hosting comes with all the software you will need to use your email and run your website. When you get your vps they will have preloaded Cpanel, setup your firewall, and configured your first account. InMotion will even configure different versions of PHP and MySQL if you want. Just upload your web site, change your DNS and you are done. To someone who is busy or not that technical, this is really important.

  • Price
    The price is very good, especially considering a Cpanel license is included. There is no setup fee like some other hosts and they have a 30 or 90 day money back guarantee.

  • Technical Support
    VPS technology is still quite new, but InMotion Hosting has been providing VPS hosting for over 4 years. They have great technical support that really understands how virtual private servers work. A lot of customer feedback is really positive about InMotion's technical support.

I'd recommend InMotion to ANYONE!
"These guys are awesome! Customer and tech support is above and beyond. Super-friendly, fast, and professional. I've registered a total of 10 separate domains with them and have NEVER had even one single problem in four years! Don't be fooled and hit with all the hidden fees from web hosts like godaddy, yahoo, and host monster. Choose InMotion, choose the best!"

Good Stuff, so far
" I purchased a site and hosting package through InMotion yesterday. A salesrep, Matt B., answered my questions well through the chat, even checking with his teammates to ensure accuracy. He stalled at some points, but made up for in saving me a step and some time by calling me to set up my account. He was very courteous and professional. They also won points for allowing me to correct my domain name a short time after I had submitted it. They were cool and *prompt* about it. I was scared it would take long or that I'd get crappy compliance, but it was smooth sailing. So far so good as a newbie to site design. I don't like the choice of site templates they offer - the lack the pizazz I want - but at least my package offers them as well as help, and they are decent looking to be fair. The tech support folks were cool and friendly when I called at a later time to ask a question. If they keep up this type of service, they'll also keep my business. Time will tell!"

Good Value
"I was looking at the lower priced hosting options on this list and then I gave Inmotion a call. I spoke to Brian in sales and he laid out some very good reasons why Inmotion is worth the extra few bucks a month so I decided to give them a shot. Hold times are low on the phone. I don't think I've waited more than 2 or 3 min. My email and website run smooth and I really like the wordpress blog that tech support helped me install. Overall, they're pretty darn good. In my opinion, some of the techs are better than others, but that just may be me. Thanks "

Excellent Service
"After two weeks I received an email from Inmotion about "high resource usage" and Vannessa from system administration took my call and worked with me on the phone and had me disable my plugins one by one until she saw which one was causing the problem - the forum.I have been through 4 hosts with the same problem and none were willing to help me. With Inmotion not only did I get to talk to a live person but in 10 mins she was able to figure out a problem that has been hauting me for 6 years and she gave me an alternative to the forum plugin that I was using that I ended up liking a lot better. She also gave a few plugins that I could install to increase the performance of my website.I respect that a host cares enough about their customers to make sure that problem sites are not slowing down the servers but what I like more is they are willing to help the owners of the problem sites instead of just terminating their service which is was you can expect from other hosts. "

Total Rip Off Scam Artists
"April 14 2008: Being new to web hosting, I signed up for a domain name+hosting, taking advantage of the 2 yr pre-paid plan, w/90 Day money back guarantee. PAID:$214 The web site builder was a joke-NOT WYSIWYG. Then they upgraded me to a new web builder ONLY AFTER I tried to cancel. I didn't like new builder, tried to cancel again. TRUTH: I filed a request via their site on June 20, 2008 asking for a refund-and today 9+ months later STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT! Has been total runaround! I call "where is my refund?" and get a different answer every time. VERY deceptive-was told I can't cancel my hosting w/them until I have a NEW HOST for them to transfer my domain to(!)-as if Hosting and Registrar is the same thing. Being naive I didn't argue. Now I know better. I called back but then they claimed they "never got" my request in June and now 90 days has passed. Goodbye $214 Today after 9 months+ they admit "we see you filed for a refund in June" Refund promised, not holding my breath"
