InMotion Hosting is a US provider operating since 2001, and it stands at the opposite end from Hostinger and Namecheap: it does not compete on the lowest number, but on what never shows in a comparison table — support, stability, and the longest money-back window on our entire list.
Our table holds seven plans: three shared and four VPS servers.
One-line verdict: the choice for people who want cPanel, human support, and a genuine trial period — and not the choice for anyone hunting the lowest price.

The card
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Cheapest plan | $4.79/mo (Launch) |
| Plans in our table | 7 — three shared, four servers |
| Control panel | cPanel on every plan |
| Money-back | 90 days — the longest on our list |
| Free domain | Yes, with the shared plans |
| Suits | People who want cPanel, who value support, who manage client sites |
| Does not suit | Price hunters, or anyone wanting a cheap server |
Every price on this page is read from our table the moment you open it, not typed into the text — so what you see here is what you see on the plan card. A dash in the renewal column means we have not verified that figure yet, so check it at checkout before buying.
The three shared plans
| Plan | Per month | Sites | Storage | Visitors/month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Launch | $4.79 | 2 | 100 GB NVMe | ~50K |
| Power | $5.79 | 10 | 200 GB NVMe | ~300K |
| Pro | $10.59 | 40 | 300 GB NVMe | ~500K |
Launch — the entry point
$4.79/mo for two websites, 100 GB of NVMe, unmetered bandwidth, a free domain and SSL.
Compare it honestly: Hostinger Premium at $2.99 gives you three sites for less — but with only 20 GB, a fifth of what Launch offers, and on SSD rather than NVMe. So the comparison does not fall cleanly one way: Hostinger is cheaper with more sites, InMotion has far more space on faster storage.
Power — the one we recommend
$5.79/mo: ten websites, 200 GB of NVMe, a 99.99% uptime guarantee, and phone support alongside live chat.
The gap over Launch is roughly one dollar, and it buys five times the sites, double the storage, and phone support. This is one of the clearest-value upgrades in anything we have reviewed — clearer even than the famous dollar between Premium and Unlimited.
Pro — for agencies
$10.59/mo: forty websites, two CPU cores and 4 GB of RAM stated explicitly — rare on shared hosting — 300 GB of storage, a dedicated IP, and WHM access for managing separate client accounts.
Anyone reselling hosting finds here what an ordinary shared plan does not offer: account separation, and stated resources they can actually promise.
The four VPS servers
| Server | Per month | Cores | RAM | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| VPS 4 vCPU | $10.99 | 4 | 8 GB | 160 GB |
| VPS 8 vCPU | $17.99 | 8 | 16 GB | 260 GB |
| VPS 12 vCPU | $29.99 | 12 | 24 GB | 360 GB |
| VPS 16 vCPU | $39.99 | 16 | 32 GB | 460 GB |
And here we have to be blunt, as usual: Hostinger KVM 2 at $8.99 gives you 8 GB of RAM, while the smallest server here at $10.99 also gives 8 GB. And KVM 8 at $25.99 gives 32 GB, while the equivalent here costs $39.99.
InMotion's servers are clearly more expensive. What you pay for is not the resources but what comes with them: dedicated IPs, server setup done for you, and managed support. If you know Linux and do not need that, Hostinger's servers are far better value.
The price, in full
This is where the review turns from specifications into numbers that actually matter.
| Plan | Promo | Renewal | Multiple |
|---|---|---|---|
| Launch | $4.79 | $14.99 | 3.1× |
| Power | $5.79 | $18.99 | 3.3× |
| Pro | $10.59 | $25.99 | 2.5× |
| VPS 8 vCPU | $17.99 | $56.99 | 3.2× |
Launch is paid a full year upfront: $57.48. After that a year costs $179.88.
The renewal multiple here is gentler than Hostinger's — 3.1× against 4.3× on Unlimited. But it is still a real jump, and our rule is the same at every provider: know the renewal number before you pay, and put a calendar reminder a month before it lands.
Watch the VPS servers in particular: 3.2× at renewal. A large discount over the first two years hides a large bill after them.
Where it wins
A 90-day guarantee. Three months to actually test, not to read about testing. Competitors give 30 days; this is triple that — and it is the strongest thing in the whole offer if you are hesitating.
cPanel on every plan. As at Hosting.com and Namecheap, and unlike hPanel at Hostinger.
Generous NVMe storage. 100 GB on the cheapest plan is a large figure: five times what Hostinger Premium offers at 20 GB.
Phone support. From Power upward. Most cheap providers give you tickets and chat only.
Stated resources on Pro. Two cores and 4 GB of RAM named explicitly on shared hosting — unusual transparency for the tier.
Migration done for you. Not a tool you use yourself, but a team that moves the site for you.
Where it falls short
Not the cheapest, and not close. The cheapest plan is $4.79 against $2.28 at Namecheap — more than double.
Only two sites on Launch. Hostinger and Namecheap both give three for less.
The servers are expensive for the resources. As detailed above.
The VPS renewal jump is harsh. 3.2× is a number to work out before committing.
The offer is time-limited. The promotional prices above belong to a campaign with an end date. Our table gets updated, but check the figure at checkout.
Is it right for you?
Yes, if you:
- want a genuine trial before committing — nobody else here offers 90 days
- know cPanel and want it, without learning a new panel
- manage client sites and need account separation and stated resources (Pro)
- care that a human answers the phone when something breaks
- have a US audience and want a data centre near it
No, if you:
- are starting on a tight budget — Namecheap at $2.28 or Hostinger at $2.99
- want a cheap server and can administer it — KVM 2 at $8.99
- want a long upgrade ladder inside one provider — Hostinger has nine plans
Where it stands among rivals
| InMotion | Hostinger | Hosting.com | Namecheap | |

| Sites on cheapest | 2 | 3 | 1 | 3 |
| Storage on cheapest | 100 GB | 20 GB | Unmetered | 20 GB |
| Panel | cPanel | hPanel | cPanel | cPanel |
| Guarantee | 90 days | 30 days | — | 30 days |
| Smallest server | 8 GB at $10.99 | 4 GB at $6.49 | None | 2 GB at $6.88 |

Verdict
InMotion Hosting sells peace of mind rather than price, and it delivers. The 90-day guarantee alone changes the risk calculation: you can migrate your site, run it for three full months, and still get your money back if it disappoints — an offer nobody else on our list makes.
Start at Power rather than Launch: roughly one dollar for five times the sites, double the storage, and phone support. And if you manage client sites, Pro gives you what an ordinary shared plan does not.
Do not buy its servers if you know Linux; Hostinger's servers are clearly better value, and we showed the gap in numbers above.
