A+ Service

Review by: John Eidson from Quincy, Illinois, on February 17th
        I recommend this host

Being a single Tech and creating a department for a small business can be a scary tedious process. There is so much that goes into turning a store of yesterday into a store of today, with all the potentials that the internet adds. I needed something inexpensive and reliable and something with good support and uptime and found that and more with Inmotion Hosting. These guys are definitely top grade, Dependable, and Unsurpassed Service. I have never had 1 issue with them.

Smooth Ride

Review by: Gokhan Cukurova from Chicago, on February 15th
        I recommend this host

I have been a customer of InMotion Hosting For God knows how long and not even once I had a bad experience. When I called, I talked to someone who spoke clean English, professional, was friendly but not irritatingly over friendly, knew their job and gave me the feeling that they really wanted to help instead of those fake/written stale wording! I am very pleased. Thank you

Tech Support A+

Review by: Nancy Zottos from Portsmouth, NH, on February 15th
        I recommend this host

Inmotion Tech Support has always been friendly, helpful, and timely in every circumstance. From help with going live with our site to any bumps, and glitches in the road that I've run into..they respond quickly and share their knowledge with those less tech-savvy folks like me, in a friendly manner.

I'm very pleased with the service so far, from Sam (sales) to the tech support guy that helped me with the setup. I didn't get this kind of service with Hostgator.

Extremely happy!

Review by: Samuel from Oakland, CA, on February 10th
        I recommend this host

These guys are superior to the other hosts on this site. We have been with them for over a year with no site downtime and nothing big to cry about. They cluster their servers so pages load very fast. You can choose your datacenter also, which is a plus. No hesitation here!

Great service but no anonymous ftp on shared servers

Review by: jrwatsio from La Jolla, CA, on October 1st
        I recommend this host

I was very happy to move my web site over to inMotion Hosting but just realized my ftp links would not work without a login. If you, like me, require your users to be able to easily download files (scientific data in my situation), you may want to consider another host or pay for a dedicated server. Otherwise, the tech support here is great and web site reliability and speed are excellent.
