InMotion Evaluation
Support Level A big part of having a dedicated server is how much of the technical work your host will help with. For InMotion, the support level is more managed than many of the hosts at this price point. They help with things like the firewall, adding new PHP modules, and other similar server configurations. This level of service can really make life a lot easier.
Servers They only use Dell servers. A lot of other hosts either don't tell you what they use or just put them together themselves. This can lead to a lot of hassle, particularly the first time the machines are put into service. Also, the servers listed on InMotion's site are all new with a good mix of medium to high end. They don't offer really low end servers.
Network Their uptime is excellent, and we believe this is probably for a few reasons. InMotion uses BGP4 bandwidth and they peer with a lot of really big ISPs to help keep the routes short and fast. This means it connects immediately with that provider - for example, tracing out from them immediately goes into the target ISP's network, Cox and Speakeasy in this case:
traceroute to 68.106.XXX.XXX (68.106.XXX.XXX), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 67.199.146.1 (67.199.146.1) 5.289 ms 5.282 ms 5.294 ms 2 ASHBBBPC01GEX0200A001.R2.NV.COX.NET (206.223.115.42) 7.057 ms 0.597 ms 7.049 ms
traceroute to 66.92.XXX.XXX (66.92.XXX.XXX), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 67.199.146.1 (67.199.146.1) 0.493 ms 0.394 ms 0.402 ms 2 6.ge-0-2-0.cr2.wdc1.speakeasy.net (206.223.115.4) 0.710 ms 0.745 ms 0.922 ms
Technical Expertise InMotion is relatively new to dedicated servers - about 3 years - but they are very good with the stack they provide - CentOS and Cpanel. Working outside of that stack they generally don't really seem to do though, but might for a fee. Please let us know if you run into this situation and we can update this. They are also really helpful with optimizing the server for different web sites, even helping with Apache, PHP and MySQL configurations.
Ease of Use Dedicated servers can come as simple as a bare bones box or setup with management software already. It really depends on how sophisticated you are. With InMotion's dedicated servers they will have preloaded Cpanel, setup your firewall, and configured your first account. If you want to do everything yourself, they won't be the best fit for you. If you really busy or not technical, they are a good choice.
Price The price is very competitive for name brand hardware and a full Cpanel license. There is no setup fee, even when paying monthly, and that is very good.
Inmotion Hosting Customer Reviews

Happy to refer others "So far my experience building my website has been pretty good--it was easy and when I had questions they were answered promptly. The premium web builder software has some mysteries and so do the templates offered, but they aren't deal breakers. I chose inmotion because it was one hosting company that didn't have a lot of negative feedback, and I am glad I did. I have referred friends interested in websites here."

Couldn't be happier! "I would like to sum up this review right from the get-go: TOTALLY AWESOME! I will NOT recommend another hosing company because InMotion hosting have my vote moving forward. Fantastic staff, great attitude and they put us (the customers) first. The support from the team has been fantastic and even though there is a major time difference (I'm from Aust) this has not stopped the team from InMotion from providing the support and service they promised me when I first signed up. There isn't much more I could ask for from everyone at InMotion. Keep up the good work - highly recommended to EVERYONE!"

Lots of down time and lost revenue "Given the amount of work to move a site from one host to another. The lost time in DNS propagation, etc. Pick your host carefully. I've been with inmotion for over two years, and have suffered at least 8 different occasions where my site was down for random reasons. The worst reason they gave (which happened the most) was I was using to much CPU and had to upgrade to a more expensive platform. Mind you, they didnt call me or email me. They just closed down my site!!! My site only gets 100 hits a day, so what CPU spike? So, I upgrade... But still get downtime!! Some bug in the system they say. Lost work! Be warned. The 20 or more times I've called tech support, I always have gotten a person within 2 minutes on hold. And they fix things. So, atleast that much."
