Max Speed Zones

InMotion Hosting has data centers on both the West Coast and the East Coast of the United States. We give you your choice based on location and proximity for optimal speeds, something we call Max Speed Zones. A2 Hosting only has one US data center.

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. A2 Hosting charges for domains on all standard Shared Hosting plans.

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. A2 Hosting plans do not come with WordPress pre-installed.

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.

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.

Unmatched Speed and Performance

Our data centers are located on IXPs which create a virtual shortcut between your site and your visitors. Global communication partners allow your site to jump across networks, reaching your visitors faster. Dual high performance fiber optics link directly from the ISP to your server, which creates an instantaneous connection. All-SSD servers are 20X faster than the traditional HDDs many of our competitors still use. Triple-tier server-level caching “pre-loads” your files to avoid disk reads, making your site load faster. Max Speed Zones give you ultimate choice in site speed. All of these technical enhancements really do one single thing – make your websites load as fast as possible.

“Overall great customer service. Rep was knowledgeable which saved time and frustration on my part. They truly wanted to make sure all issues were resolved and cared about my experience.”

“The usual excellent customer service. Any problem that I had was promptly solved by customer service.”

“InMotionHosting got me set up and dealing with WordPress pretty quickly and their support system and people helped smooth over any issues I was having.”
