They constantly threaten to suspend your account "within 48 hours" out of nowhere if you actually use your storage space. Don't care about their customers.

Horrible helpdesk
Service used: VPS
- VPS-1000HA-S
I have been hosting several sites on InMotion for several years. Their uptime is great. However, their support is simply useless. It takes days and sometimes weeks before you receive an answer. That's not what you would expect from such an expensive hosting service.

InMotion Hosting Expert Review 2019
Written by: Yuriy Gandyak

Robust Offerings for Small Businesses
InMotion Hosting has been around for a little less than two decades now, and during this time it has carved out a nice niche for itself as a web host for small and medium businesses.
The company is based in the US, and you can choose to be connected to a server nearest to you (there is one on each coast). For American websites looking to boast from local providers, it’s a nice bonus, but the uptick in website speech will be negligible. The biggest selling point for InMotion is that they have robust offerings which appeal to businesses, so even if you are quite small now, you can afford their services and stay with this web host when your traffic goes through the roof and your bandwidth demands increase.
All of their plans – even the most basic – give you unlimited bandwidth and disc space, solid SEO credits, periodic website backups, and many other helpful features.
