InMotion Hosting vs DreamHost

Free Solid-State Drives

InMotion Shared Hosting includes free Solid-State Drives (SSD) that offer higher performance than standard spinning hard disk drives. During our internal benchmark test, we found SSD to be about 20 times faster than our SAS 15K drives. With this level of performance, your content gets delivered to your visitors quicker. Dreamhost also offers Solid-State Drives with their Shared Hosting plans.

Money-Back Guarantee

We are so confident you will love our InMotion Business Hosting product, we give you 90 days to try it out. If you are not completely satisfied with our product or service, you can request your money back. No questions asked. Dreamhost offers a full money-back guarantee for 97 days.

PostgreSQL

In addition to offering SSH Access, Ruby, and PHP, we offer both MySQL and PostgreSQL as options for your database management. This gives you the flexibility to develop applications with the database you feel more comfortable with. Dreamhost does not offer PostgreSQL.

Free Domain

We offer a FREE domain with all 1 and 2 year Business Hosting plans. If you don’t want to purchase one during checkout, we’ll give you a free domain credit to use at a later time for all the major TLDs including .com, .net, .org, .us, .biz or .info. Dreamhost also offers a free domain with the purchase of a Shared Hosting plan.

WordPress Pre-Installed

Get the popular Content Management System (CMS) WordPress installed with your hosting package on checkout. No need for any manual download or setup. InMotion Hosting gets you started as soon as you purchase your Shared Hosting plan. Dreamhost plans do not come with WordPress pre-installed for Shared Hosting.

Free SSL

Keeping your website and content secure is our top priority. That’s why we provide a free private SSL on all Shared Business Hosting plans. Perfect for eCommerce and more, you can complete online transactions and accept payments on your website worry-free.

cPanel: Easy Control Panel

InMotion Hosting provides a cPanel license on all hosting plans – where managing your business is easier than ever! Upgrading/downgrading customer accounts, creating custom packages for customer type, and creating customer emails are just a few of the many features that cPanel can achieve for you!

Free 1-Click Application Auto-Installer (Softaculous)

All of InMotion Business Hosting plans come with our 1-Click Application Installer, Softaculous, free of cost. We know how much of a pain manually installing applications can be, so get instant access to some of the biggest applications on the web such as WordPress, PrestaShop, Drupal and more.

400+ Applications

Automatic Vulnerability Patching

We work hard to keep your website safe from malware and hackers! Your website files are regularly scanned and patched for vulnerabilities by our security system. Any malware and potential exploits are quarantined to prevent damage to your site and data. This automatically patches your applications with the latest security updates available.

Unlimited Disk Space & Bandwidth

InMotion Hosting offers unlimited disk space and bandwidth with all Launch, Power and Pro Business Hosting plans. We believe a lack of resources should never limit your ability to run your website. Dreamhost also offers unlimited disk space and bandwidth for their Shared Hosting plans.
