Summary
Max Ostryzhko Senior Web Developer, HostAdvice CTO While InMotion Hosting and GoDaddy offer many of the same types of hosting solutions, they really aren’t in the same league. InMotion consistently out ranks GoDaddy in every measurable category by both the team of HostAdvice experts, and actual customers who have reviewed the companies. While GoDaddy is a very well-known company, they seem to have forgotten that they need to put the quality of their hosting above the quality of their marketing campaign. For all of these reasons, and many others, declaring InMotion the winner in this comparison is a very easy decision. Winner! See plans and pricing www.inmotionhosting.com

More vigate, however, whenever i've had a problem, their client services is second to none. Maybe their designed for the un technicaly minded like me. But never the less, i think they're great! Less	Reliable and Helpful Feb. 25, 2020 Reliability 10 Pricing 10 User Friendly 8.0 Support 8.0 Features 10 There are always going to be instances with any host where the First Tier person you're dealing with simply doesn't know how ... More to help you, or maybe even doesn't want to take the time. I've had a few of those even at InMotion. But the vast majority of the time, the First Tier people want to be helpful, they are knowledgeable, and when they don't have an immediate answer they will do their best to get one from their higher tier technicians. The rare times I've had a problem that I knew was not caused by my own coding, I've been very pleased with their response time and their willingness to help. I've been with them since 2013 and I can recall only one time where the person blamed it on my code immediately without bothering to do any research. Of course it turned out that it wasn't my code -- it was a glitch in an htaccess file that was apparently caused by CPanel. I never touch htaccess so I knew it wasn't something that I'd done. The second person I talked with was much more helpful and he troubleshooted the file, told me the problem, and he fixed it himself. That is awesome service! Less

I don't know how they are managing this company. The... More y are just here for wasting time and money. I finally quite this irresponsible company and find new hosting company shoutcoder far much better than GoDaddy even in more affordable price Less	Longtime customer Jun. 19, 2020 Reliability 2.0 Pricing 6.0 User Friendly 6.0 Support 2.0 Features 4.0 I have been an Inmotion customer since 2009. There service used to be great. Those days are over. Many so-called review site... More s give them a positive review only because they get a commission when people sign up. I wish they wouldn't mislead unsuspecting customers. Read reviews from actual customers to know what they are really like. Inmotion Hosting is awful Webites seem to be down more often than they are up. The speed is much slower compared to other hosting companies in this price range. Hold times for dealing with customer service are ridiculous. Some of the reps are polite and helpful while others are complete a-holes. Either way, they never apologize for the problems they cause (which have become more and more frequent). If you're running a business, you don't have time to spend several hours per week dealing with these people and trying to get your site running. I would strongly advise anyone against doing business with this company. Less
