InMotion Hosting Review

For Freelancers & Small Business Owners

Having access to the free website builders that come with InMotion is always great for freelancers and small business owners. InMotion uses BoldGrid, a drag-and-drop site builder that is built on WordPress. This immensely powerful tool can help with high customization over your website.

As one of the top business hosting providers, InMotion offers many essential features including site migration, Google App integration, free domain name, AutoSSL and more.

Based on our tracking (see InMotion performance chart below), it also shows a reliable and robust performance. These are the hallmarks of excellent hosting for both freelancers and small business owners. These features combine to make a strong case to opt for InMotion

If you need a bigger site, InMotion also has the capacity for that, all you need to do is to select an alternate plan and scale up.

For Online Shops

Although InMotion does limit eCommerce features to POWER plans and above it isn’t likely that a successful online store can survive on a minimal plan anyway. Moving past that you gain access to OpenCart which you can use with almost any of their plans.

For those building around PrestaShop there is also dedicated PrestaShop hosting just for you. Of course, for WordPress you can make your own choices, but at the end of the day, there are options galore here. All you need to do is decide what you want, not worry if you can find it or not.

For Agencies and Developers

Honestly, there isn’t much that can recommend InMotion for developers. Aside from the allowance that you can create staging sites and work on those, many specialized tools aren’t available unless you switch to VPS hosting and install them yourself.

Onboarding

Signing up and getting on board with InMotion can be a tiny bit frustrating in two senses. The first is that there are simply too many options to choose from (which is a good thing). The second is that your account isn’t activated instantly, and you’ll have to wait a while to start using what you sign up for.
