Great support
Ma. Paulina Francesca Del Mundo,

I accidentally deleted my entire website (my fault), and my backups weren't working properly, but they managed to provide a backup and support within record time. Saved me from a panic attack. Truly appreciate that! Some cons... More : a bit slower than my previous BlueHost, but definitely far less expensive. Also uses the latest MySQL on VPS only, not shared hosting. Less
Great Customer Service

The one thing that is important to me is getting help with my website. They have great support articles and they are always helpful when I need it!

No Service only Lies
Glenn Gregory,

Over the last year, the service from Arvixe has been horrendous. There have been server outages that have lasted from hours to almost a week. Technical Support staff is incompetent. Additionally, they do not read the messages... More that one sends in chat. As for generating a trouble ticket, I generated a trouble ticket on Dec. 30, 2022 at 8:30am Central Time. They did not respond until January 3, 2023 at 9:05am stating there was no problem. Well. NO SH*T, Sherlock. The server reappeared sometime after 21:00 on Saturday, December 31, 2022. Even though the server shared057.arvixe.com died sometime on December 29. There are no reports that anything was wrong with the server. Plus, Arvixe raises their rates every year once you are stupid enough to purchase a service. Things were good in 2015, yet the service and support has rapidly declined since 2019. At one time, I hosted 10 domains on Arvixe. Because of poor service I moved them to another hosting service. Will move the last three this month. Less
IMH Shared Email Servers End Up In Spam Databases, Causing My Email to Be Rejected
Wayne Herbert,
4.0
I've been an IMH customer for 10 years and been generally satisfied with their service. But over the last six months, I have been getting increasing amounts of email rejected by yahoo, aol, mac, outlook, and others because I... More MH's shared email servers have been registered in various spam databases, including SpanHaus.

Over these last six months I have filed numerous tickets with support, seeking a solution. Support, each time I file a ticket, "rotates" the email server IP address. Things work fine for a couple of weeks, then the new IP address ends up in a spam database and I start getting rejected emails again. This last time, it was only two days after I filed the ticket that I started getting rejections.

IMH support has been no help. Their "solutions" are:
1) Keep filing tickets each time I get a kick back and they will rotate IP addresses.
2) Upgrade to a VPS package at $140 more per year and with resources I don't need.
3) Move my email to Google Gsuite.
What they haven't been able to do is tell me why they cannot get their email servers out of spam databases. I can only guess that this is because they are hosting spammers and not doing a good enough job of blocking them. Doesn't matter, I need a new ISP.

Winner: InMotion Hosting

Bruno Mirchevski Hosting Expert

Comparing Arvixe to InMotion Hosting is almost like comparing apples to oranges in terms of quality. Not only does InMotion offer more hosting options with higher end hardware, but they are able to do it at a lower price than Arvixe. InMotion also consistently receives much higher review scores from their customers, and our hosting experts gave them a much more favorable review as well. On some hosting packages, the server specs are significantly higher, which makes for a better hosting environment. All this shows that there is no doubt that InMotion Hosting should be the winner in this comparison.
