InMotion Hosting vs. HostGator Dedicated Servers
Do You Run a Mission-Critical Setup or a Heavy Database-Driven Dynamic Site?
Hardware matters! Solid-State Drive (SSD) speed benefits any workload that requires a lot of reading and writing to storage, like a database for instance. Perhaps you simply want high performance, multi-core, and multi-threaded processors in your Dedicated Server without sharing resources with neighboring sites like you would with other hosting solutions. Fortunately, InMotion Hosting has every plan to suit your needs.
Our Dedicated Servers are perfect for your business because we offer:
- Samsung SSDs & High Performance CPUs
- cPanel & WHM Included
- 99.999% Network Uptime
- 1Gbps Uplink Speed
- One-on-One System Admin Support
- Employee-Owned Company
- Free Server Management
- Custom Configuration
| InMotion Hosting vs HostGator | InMotion Hosting | HostGator |
|---|---|---|
Free Solid-State DrivesInMotion Hosting includes free Solid-State Drives (SSD) that offer higher performance than standard spinning hard disk drives. We proudly choose Samsung SSDs for our servers. Samsung SSDs give you faster read/write speeds, between 94k-98k read and 88k-90k write IOPS. Hostgator does not offer SSD Hosting. | ||
Money Back GuaranteeWe are confident in our services. Therefore, we offer a Full 30 Day Money Back Guarantee, regardless of the Dedicated Server Hosting plan you choose. | 30 Days | |
ScalabilityAt InMotion Hosting, we grow with your company. Upgrade your server at anytime. Need a secondary drive? Faster RAID card? Upgrade your server at anytime with InMotion Hosting. At Hostgator, you are locked into their offered plans. | ||
Employee-OwnedInMotion Hosting is employee-owned and operated. Being an independent organization, we can focus beyond just the bottom line. Our core values are built around meeting customer needs and constantly enhancing their experience. Our #1 goal is to thrill you, the customer! On the other hand, Hostgator is owned by a multi-national conglomerate. | ||
Dedicated IPs IncludedInMotion Hosting offers a generous amount of free dedicated IPs. | 5-15 IPs | 5 IPs |
Hardware RAIDInMotion Hosting partners with Cisco and Lenovo to provide hardware based RAID cards. Do you run a mission critical setup or a heavy database driven dynamic site? When performance and uptime is the #1 priority, our hardware RAID will ensure a rebootless hard drive replacement and the highest performance possible. Hostgator’s software RAID takes valuable CPU cycle and RAM away from your Apache or MySQL server. Also, a failure in their Software RAID would mean server downtime. | ||
Free Server ManagementWe not only install your operating system’s security patches, but also proactively check to make sure they are updated to limit security risks. We also update your cPanel so you have access to the newest and most stable cPanel & WHM features. | ||
Hardware Replacement GuaranteeOur 2 hour hardware replacement guarantee is an additional peace of mind service, where we will replace any faulty hardware within 2 hours of notification. HostGator doesn’t offer this according to their TOS. | ||
Custom ConfigurationYour business is not a cookie-cutter business, why should you use Hostgator’s cookie-cutter web server? With InMotion Hosting, you can upgrade your processor, add more RAM, or even swap out a RAID card with more cache. The options are unlimited. | ||
One-on-One System AdminWant help optimizing your server or need special software installed? Need a caching solution and have no time to set it up? Our system admins can see that you start off on the right foot. InMotion Hosting offers time with our sysadmins, free of charge. HostGator doesn’t offer this service. | ||
Blazing Fast 1Gbps Uplink ConnectionInMotion Hosting comes with lighting fast 1GBps Uplink speed on all of our Dedicated Servers. | 1Gbps | 100Mbps |
cPanel and WHM IncludedInMotion Hosting gives you full control over your server with cPanel and WHM. Unlike many hosts, we include cPanel at no extra cost! | ||
Network UptimeOur BGP multi-homing and redudant switching network design maximizes uptime. We use 3 top tier bandwidth providers to keep you online. In the event one goes down, our smart routing techology will automatically switch providers. | 99.999% | 99.9% |
Pre-configured ‘Out of the Box’ ServerOur fully managed dedicated servers come preinstalled with LAMP stack. Everything you need to start your new server right. | ||
Multi-Layer Advanced Defense SystemInMotion Hosting partners with Corero to defend against DDoS attacks that lead to unplanned server outages. InMotion Hosting also has multi-layer, high-bandwidth switches that layer through various scripts and APIs to change the routing within the network itself on demand. All this to ensure you, our customer, stays online. HostGator have DDoS attack protection, but keep the rest of their security confidential. |

Once again, InMotion Hosting has earned my appreciation and business. As you know, there is a lot of competition out there for web hosting and domain name registration. Time and again I use In Motion Hosting because the level of professionalism, ease to reach an English speaking, American support individual combined with easy to understand, transparent and reasonable fees cannot be beat. Not anywhere. In Motion is always easy to reach for any reason, and tech support when needed is 100% American, competent and responsive. Matt in your sales division was awesome as expected, and I’m on my way to starting our company’s newest website.”
