InMotion Hosting Pros and Cons
- Wide range of comprehensive features
- Host up to 2 websites on the cheapest plan
- Unlimited bandwidth on cheapest plan
- Business class hardware
- WordPress, Joomla, and PrestaShop comes preinstalled
- Only support for up to 25 subdomains
- No support for online stores
- Fixed allowable hosting plans
- Expensive compared to other hosting options
InMotion Hosting inverts the usual hosting deal: its one-year term is the cheapest, at €4.62 a month, while the two- and three-year terms cost more up front at €4.83 and €4.82. The longer terms are still far better value, because the intro rate holds for the whole term — three years on the 3-year plan costs €174 against €403 on the 1-year. It also prints the renewal price on every card, and all three “You Save” badges reconcile exactly against it.
- What it is: Shared, VPS and reseller web hosting on NVMe SSD with cPanel, trading 25 years.
- Best for: Buyers taking the two- or three-year term, where the intro rate holds throughout.
- Pricing: €4.62–€10.25 a month intro, renewing at €13.52–€25.12. Verified July 2026.
- The honest catch: Renewals run 145% to 229% above the intro rate.

What actually decides your cost:
- The shortest term has the cheapest headline rate, which is the opposite of the norm. Launch costs €4.62 a month on a one-year term but €4.83 on two years and €4.82 on three. Every other host reviewed in this series rewards longer commitment with a lower intro price; InMotion charges a small premium for it. The reason becomes clear at renewal: the longer terms renew at €13.52 and €13.53 against the one-year’s €14.50.
- What you are really buying with a longer term is more months at the intro rate. The 20-cent monthly premium buys 24 or 36 months of discounted pricing instead of 12. Over three years, Launch costs €403 on the one-year term (12 months at €4.62 then 24 at €14.50), €278 on the two-year, and €174 on the three-year — where you never reach renewal inside the window at all. That is a 57% saving for choosing three years over one, and it is the single most consequential decision on the page.
- The two- and three-year terms are functionally identical, so take the longer one. Launch is €4.83 versus €4.82; renewals are €13.52 versus €13.53. The differences are a cent, in opposite directions. Since the three-year term simply extends the same rate by another twelve months, there is no reason to choose two years over three unless you want the shorter commitment.
- Every discount badge reconciles exactly against the printed renewal price. Launch’s “You Save 68%” computes to 68.1% (€4.62 against €14.50), Power’s 70% to 69.6%, and Pro’s 59% to 59.2%. Crucially, InMotion prints the renewal on the card rather than burying it — putting it alongside Namecheap and well ahead of hosts in this series whose renewal terms are unlinked or unreadable.
- The renewals are still steep, and steepest where the discount is biggest. From the one-year rate, Launch rises +214%, Power +229% and Pro +145%. Power carries both the largest advertised saving (70%) and the sharpest increase — the same inverse relationship that shows up across this category. Budget from the renewal column, or take the three-year term and defer the question.
- Power is the best value per visitor on the intro rate; Pro takes over at renewal. Per thousand monthly visitors, the intro prices work out at €0.092, €0.019 and €0.021 for Launch, Power and Pro — so Pro is fractionally worse than Power while discounted. At renewal the order corrects to €0.29, €0.061 and €0.050, making Pro the best. Unless you need Pro’s 2 vCPU cores or its WHM access and four client cPanel accounts, Power is the value pick.
- The 90-day money-back guarantee is the longest in this review series. Most hosts offer 30 days; several products reviewed here offer 7 or fewer, and one offers 48 hours. Ninety days is enough to run a site through a full quarter before deciding, which materially reduces the risk of a three-year commitment.
- Two inclusions have conditions worth reading. The free domain applies “with select terms” rather than universally, and Professional Email is a one-month trial on a service valued at €21.49 a year. Neither is hidden, but both affect the second-year total.
Who Should Use InMotion Hosting
- Buyers willing to commit three years. The clearest case — €174 for three years of Launch, versus €403 on annual renewals.
- Growing sites needing headroom. Power handles ~300,000 visitors a month for €5.58 intro.
- Agencies managing client sites. Pro adds WHM access and up to four client cPanel accounts.
- Anyone wanting a long trial. 90 days is the most generous guarantee in this series.
It fits poorly for buyers who will let a one-year term lapse into renewal, where the rate more than triples; for those needing the free domain on any term; and for very small sites, where Launch’s €14.50 renewal is high for 50,000 visitors.
Honest Pros and Cons
Strengths
- Renewal price printed on every plan card.
- All three discount badges verify to within a rounding point.
- 90-day money-back guarantee — the longest here.
- Free domain, SSL, email and migration included.
- NVMe SSD and UltraStack across shared plans.
- Plans sized by visitors, not abstract disk figures.
Limitations
- Renewals rise 145% to 229%.
- The one-year term has the cheapest headline, which misleads on total cost.
- Two- and three-year terms are near-identical — the middle option is redundant.
- Free domain only “with select terms”.
- Professional Email is a one-month trial, then €21.49 a year.
- Pro is worse per visitor than Power while discounted.
InMotion Hosting Alternatives and How It Compares
- Namecheap also prints renewal prices, at lower absolute rates.
- SiteGround is stronger on managed WordPress, at a higher renewal.
- DreamHost offers unlimited traffic rather than visitor estimates.
- Hostinger undercuts on year one with a comparable renewal step.
- AccuWeb guarantees RAM and vCPU on shared plans but publishes no renewal.

The Verdict
InMotion earns credit on the thing this category most often obscures: it prints the renewal price directly on every plan card, and its discount badges are honest. “You Save 68%” on Launch computes to 68.1% against the stated €14.50 renewal; Power’s 70% to 69.6%; Pro’s 59% to 59.2%. Across a great many hosting pricing pages, that combination — a visible renewal price and percentages that reconcile to it — remains the exception. Add a 90-day money-back guarantee, the longest in this review series, and a buyer has both the information and the time to make a considered decision.
The pricing structure itself is genuinely unusual and rewards a moment’s attention. The one-year term carries the cheapest headline rate — Launch at €4.62 against €4.83 and €4.82 on the two- and three-year terms. That looks backwards, and taken at face value it would steer you to the shortest commitment. But the intro rate applies for the length of your term, so the twenty-cent premium buys 24 or 36 months of discounted hosting rather than 12. Over three years Launch costs €403 on the one-year term, €278 on the two-year and €174 on the three-year — a 57% difference driven entirely by how long you avoid the renewal rate. Note too that the two- and three-year terms differ by a single cent in each direction, so the middle option is effectively redundant.
The renewals themselves are steep, and steepest where the discount looks best: +214% on Launch, +229% on Power and +145% on Pro. Power carries both the largest advertised saving and the sharpest increase, which is the same inverse relationship visible at Network Solutions and elsewhere in this series. The practical response is the three-year term, which defers the question entirely — and if the site has not worked out by then, the 90-day guarantee has long since expired anyway.
On plan choice, Power at €5.58 is the value pick. Per thousand monthly visitors it costs €0.019 against Pro’s €0.021, so Pro is fractionally worse while discounted, though it overtakes Power at renewal. Choose Pro only if you specifically need its 2 vCPU cores, WHM access or the ability to manage four client cPanel accounts — which makes it a genuine agency plan rather than simply a bigger one. Finally, read two conditions before you count them as savings: the free domain applies only “with select terms”, and Professional Email is a one-month trial on a €21.49-a-year service.
FAQ
How much does InMotion Hosting cost?
On the euro price list captured July 2026, on a one-year term: Launch €4.62 a month, Power €5.58 and Pro €10.25, renewing at €14.50, €18.37 and €25.12. On two- or three-year terms the intro rates are slightly higher (€4.83 and €4.82 for Launch) but the renewals are lower (€13.52 and €13.53). A 90-day money-back guarantee applies.
Which InMotion term length is cheapest?
The three-year term, by a wide margin — even though it does not have the lowest headline rate. Because the intro price holds for the whole term, three years of Launch costs €174 on the three-year term, €278 on the two-year and €403 on the one-year. The two- and three-year prices differ by one cent, so there is little reason to pick two over three.
Does InMotion Hosting’s price go up at renewal?
Yes, substantially, and InMotion states it plainly on each card. From the one-year rate, Launch rises from €4.62 to €14.50 (+214%), Power from €5.58 to €18.37 (+229%) and Pro from €10.25 to €25.12 (+145%). Longer terms renew slightly lower — €13.52 for Launch — and delay the increase by two or three years.
Which InMotion plan is best value?
Power, for most sites. At €5.58 intro it handles roughly 300,000 monthly visitors, working out at €0.019 per thousand against Pro’s €0.021 — so Pro is marginally worse per visitor while discounted. Pro is worth it only for its 2 vCPU cores, WHM access and up to four client cPanel accounts, which make it an agency plan rather than simply a larger one.
What does InMotion Hosting include for free?
Every shared plan includes a free domain (on select terms), SSL, email and site migration, with NVMe SSD storage, cPanel, 99.99% uptime and 24/7 support. Two caveats: the free domain is conditional on term length, and Professional Email is a one-month trial on a service InMotion values at €21.49 a year.

I cannot think of one single thing I dislike
All my hosting and development projects
The customer service, 99.9% of the time I get very helpful support. When I need to understand issue this minute, I click the chat and get help. Often things InMotion doesn't normally handle they help me with which is great.
I'd like to be able to buy addons such as space without having to go through upgrading my package. Secondly on the WHM it a pain getting to were it tells how much space I have left. I'm like that information on the AMP.
I'm a WordPress and graphic designer with a long list of clients who have websites. While all the websites plugin and themes are kept up to date, many of these websites are over 10 years old. I had issues updating to PHP 7 on the older sites but the support at InMotiong helped me fix these older codes so I could run PHP 7 without crashing the older websites.
Good technical service and managment of application inside Cpanel. There are good prices for VPS and the possibility to set it up according to your business needs
I had a problem with shared server, most of my email were lost and the technical team didn't advice of an update of the server
VPS, installing CRM and ERP platforms along with Website to integrate and manage all in a single website
They have incredibly fast servers that have solid state drives and their customer support and tech support is among the best. Not just in hosting companies. They are up there with Apple.
I dislike hearing can I put you on hold for 1 to 3 Minutes. I understand it's necessary, so skip the 1 to 3 minutes part.
My company not only designs and hosts websites for business clients, but we specialize in search engine optimization (SEO). InMotion Hosting has exceptionally fast servers and all the server software needed for SEO. It gives me an advantage over websites hosted elsewhere. Because I use there Virtual Private Servers (VPS), I also benefit from having a hosting management center (WHM) where I can do just about anything I need to on the hosting side of things. I also have an Account Management Panel (AMP) where I can purchase domains, request many different services, look up how to do things in there knowledge database and much more. As long as they continue to perform the way they do, I can't foresee ever leaving InMotion Hosting.
They worked with us to offer the best price while still giving us the features we need. The hosting plan included some key features that we use daily including personalized email account, email forwarding, an upgraded pro Boldgrid account, WordPress, an SSL, a domain name and lots of free software included in our package. Plus their customer support is outstanding.
Other then wishing they offered us a discount for being a nonprofit organization I can't think of a single negative issue we've had using them.
They offer us an affordable web hosting plan with all the bells and whistles a more expensive company would offer at a lower price. Any issues I've had over the years I would just contact either Inmotionhosting sales or technical support and they would fix the problems.
I love the fact that they give unlimited email addresses. We switched over to them for this reason and it has been the best feature so far. They also have a very easy to use interface with support every step of the way.
Sometimes emails get flagged as spam and it's a pain to contact support to resolve it. We had this issue much more in the beginning but it almost never comes up now.
I am able to create emails and adjust the settings incredibly easily.
InMotion Hosting has proven to be a fantastic business partner. I run my website on one of their VPS-3000 plans. The performance is unbeatable as is the price! And the support is the best I have received from any technology company, and I need a lot of support.
The are many great things to say about InMotion Hosting, but my one criticism is that their prices, while always competitive and value-driven, do tend to fluctuate.
InMotion Hosting allows my business to have a high-performance website for a reasonable cost.
We use the VPS hosting offered by in motion. Relatively inexpensive and still a huge upgrade from any shared hosting plan
I don't like that you only get a limited amount of support with the plan.
We host our main website and have gained faster response times since switching from shared hosting.
We have been working with InMotion Hosting for five years now. The Domain, Hosting, and Wordpress solutions they offer are stellar! As a business, it is important for us to have all the above services in one place. InMotion Hosting delivers this on so many fronts. First, the domain registrar process is quick and easy. Search for an available domain name, choose an affordable plan, and snag your site. Second, the hosting options are very robust with all the major applications at your fingertips, databases in a snap, and the full features of cPanel for efficient usability. Finally, the Wordpress synchronization is vital to small businesses looking for a step up from typical cookie-cutter free sites like Wix, Weebly and Squarespace. While those websites are good for tech newbies, InMotionHosting offers Wordpress in a standalone format. Beginner hosting like GoDaddy forces you to use their proprietary web interface in order to do simple Wordpress functions like installing plugins, widget, etc. With InMotionHosting, Wordpress in installed on your domain and you have free range over all its features - no middle man. Choose InMotionHosting for a one-stop shop for all your online needs!
Only one complaint with InMotionHosting. We purchase Domain Privacy from InMotionHosting to conceal ownership information to reduce solicitation and somehow individual ownership was still accessible with a simple WHOIS search. Not too happy about that. However, their support is top notch, server up-time is impeccable, and insightful industry best practices are very helpful.
All online needs from domain registration, website hosting and development, and email management taken care of all in one place. The benefits email accounts,
Customer Support team is the best I have ever experienced. Always available and very helpful.
Not much... on occation updates or down-time but you must deal with that with any hosting company.
Hosting our client websites and reliable support systems when problems arise. Peace of mind from a 99.9 uptime.
Support is always easy to contact and always helpful. InMotion uses cPanel, so performing web functions is familiar since I've used this at other hosting services (MacHighway and SiteGround).
I can't think of anything I dislike; everything has been fine.
I use InMotion to host our company's email accounts. I was previously doing this at MacHighway but had so many problems there that I looked for a new vendor, and chose InMotion. I've been using InMotion since 2014 and haven't had any troubles with it. We only use InMotion for email, not for website hosting, but G2 doesn't have that option in the checkbox and forces an answer to the question, so that answer is not correct.
Has all the same features of GoDaddy and HostGator, but more. And when you have a question, InMotion is there to answer in a reasonable amount of time with good answers and helpful advice.
I haven't found anything I dislike about their service.
Multiple domains and websites are hosted as well as email services handled.
These guys answer the phone.. they assist and they know what they are talking about.
GUI is clunky, for the amount of options it is probably the best they can do but it is not as slick as godaddy.
They offer great prices, fast servers and not a bunch of hidden prices.
The customer support is unmatched. 24/7 phone, chats, email
Cron Job panel is weird. They could do a better job of showing you how to setup valid jobs.
Speed and Stability of Client sites
I like that the Customer Service team responds quickly on the phone and I do not get the run around. They patiently walk me through problems and gets to the bottom of technical issues.
I dislike the number of addon domains an account has. My organization does a lot of work with Spanish-speaking communities requiring us to purchase Spanish domains that will point to the same English website.
We are providing social services to all people living in San Diego, and InMotion gives us the flexibility and a straightforward interface to do so. InMotion solves problems quickly and efficiently, so that we can continue to provide the best service to our constituents.
Very easy to get tech support on the phone, and they are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I have sent numerous clients to them, and I've never heard a bad word.
There's nothing I dislike. Any hosting company is open to attack, but it's how they handle it that matters
My site has never been down, and they have a great affiliate program.
Customer service. Very responsive, very, very patience! Knowledgeable, fast and again patience!
Nothing to dislike. Every interaction has been great!
Website
The support during changeover was super. Chat was especially helpful. We didn't lose any significant time in production (our live site)
Not anything I can think of. Funny you want more for dislike.
Moved away from a host whose service disintegrated over time. Their equipment sucked.
The technical support is really good. I used InMotion hosting for the first website I created and they implemented everything for me to get my site live.
If your website is starting to get a good amount of traffic, the shared hosting they offer is not the best solution if you want the best performance.
Despite being a WordPress shared hosting solution and if your website is not that big, the performance you get for the money is excellent.
I've been a customer of InMotion for 10 years and always feel comfortable with my site's performance and ability to contact their support and billing teams if needed.
There are a lot of services in the cPanel, and it's a bit of a challenge to find the proper menu item when making configuration updates.
I needed a web hosting service for my domains as well as a couple for a customer. It was easy to bundle the multiple domains into one plan so I could manage everything together.

Finding the actual login link is somewhat difficult. I have it bookmarked but if I have to get someone else to login, they have to type in the exact address rather than simply searching.
All our staff has an email address on the domain but the temps (who work 3 months and are off for about a month then back on for 3 months) couldn't have outlook setup on a PC. So they use inmotion hosting to login to their emails and check them.
The hoster offers a good all-round service. We have also activated a CMS (which was already pre-installed). The support handles our requests very fast. I can activate the most important services myself in the admin area.
The wordpress hosting package costs more - we will wail on the standard package in the future and simply install wp ourselves.
It is a reliable hoster - the website and the domain were activated quickly. I was able to create the databases quickly and the name of the databases can be changed. Backups are done automatically, which is very good because we can be sure that our data will not be lost.
