| InMotion Hosting vs HostGator | InMotion Hosting | HostGator |
|---|---|---|
Free Solid-State DrivesInMotion 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. HostGator does not offer Shared SSD Hosting. | ||
FREE No-Downtime Website TransfersTransfer your sites to us for FREE! We offer totally free website and account transfers when you sign up with us today – up to 3 cPanel accounts up to 5GB each. We transfer your entire account so you don’t lose emails or settings. Our transfer process ensures that no downtime occurs, keeping your site online while we move all your files and before you switch your DNS. | ||

If you are not completely satisfied with our product or service, you can request your money back. No questions asked. HostGator only offers a full money-back guarantee for 45 days. | 90 Days | 45 Days |
PostgreSQLIn 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. HostGator does not offer PostgreSQL. | ||
Free DomainWe 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. HostGator charges for domains on all standard Shared Hosting plans. | ||
Pre-Installed WordPressGet 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. HostGator plans do not come with WordPress pre-installed. | ||
Free SSLKeeping 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. HostGator online includes a free SSL on their Business Plan. | ||

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.
Just wanted to rave about Patrick who helped me out today. I’ve spoken with lots of other web hosts, HostGator, BlueHost, DreamHost, etc… No one was as competent as he was. In a timely and friendly manner, he was able to answer all my questions and help me assess the best hosting package for my needs. I am exceptionally pleased and will be going with your hosting company because of his great expertise. Just saying, that’s how you do Customer Service and Sales right!”
