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.

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!

Realistically it's 0/10

I'm designing and building websites for a living and two out of my many clients are on GoDaddy web hosting - one on an entry ...

level subscription and the other one on a more upscale option. It is completely impossible to do any work on either of those sites - the server continuously drops out, the uptime is a joke, getting through to their support takes about 60min on average and when getting through all they do is recommend to pay for one of their Wordpress developers or to upgrade the plan. For one of my clients we did upgrade the plan for an additional AU$600 which did absolutely nothing to fix any of the issues. We've had ongoing problems with a cURL 28 error and any fix I had up my sleeve didn't work, then ended up paying for a Wordpress developer via GoDaddy who emailed back after 72 hours saying it's not related to Wordpress or the website itself but to the server (as I had told them many times). GoDaddy then promised to escalate - hadn't heard back after 8 days so called them again today, spent 2.5 hours on the phone to be told it's not a server issue but a Wordpress issue. Back to square one. This company is an absolute joke - a quick google search also showed that many other GoDaddy customers have the cURL 28 error and are being told to pay for a developer - what a scam. Stay away - my clients will be fighting for refunds and moving to different web hosts.

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. |
