If you have resolved in the New Year to set up a website for your business, or even move your present site to a new server, this is the time to shop around the various services. Typically at the beginning of the year web hosting companies will offer specials to entice you to enlist their options, and while you may find a deal in price you need to know if you get everything you need to run a site efficiently. InMotion Web Hosting is one such company that avails itself to mom-and-pop businesses and larger corporations alike with a selection of service plans which specifically cater to certain needs.
Perhaps one thing that has prevented you from creating your own website is the prospect of paying for bells and whistles you do not need. The people at InMotion Web Hosting understand how the Internet can intimidate some, which is why different plans are set up to provide everything from the basic space and content management to more powerful functions like file hosting and eCommerce support. Within each plan for Personal, Business, and VPS hosting are sub-plans that determine your disk space usage and domain support. If you plan to host a site with only ten pages for promoting your products, restaurant, or events, you could pay as little as six dollars a month and still receive the same 24/7 customer service support as a premium plan. Compared with similar companies like GoDaddy and HostGator, InMotion maintains competitive costs.
With the basic business and personal plans you manage your sites through the standard control panel, CPanel, which is used by other hosting services and is quite intuitive and user friendly. If you are more comfortable editing web pages via a program like Fireworks or Dreamweaver, there are options to FTP your data directly to your folders. With each plan, also, you have corresponding e-mail for your domain, and the ability to install WordPress and other popular content management systems like Joomla. There is support for PHP and PERL and MySQL depending on the level of service you opt for, and for extra fees you can hand over the design to them as well.
One thing about InMotion that may give pause is the long billing cycle. While many hosting companies bill year to year, InMotion for their plans requires an initial up-front payment for 24 months of services. To some, that may seem like a long time to be locked into a commitment, so if you are serious about your web hosting it would do you well to thoroughly study what InMotion offers compared to other services. On the whole, InMotion Web Hosting has offered quality hosting and assistance for close to ten years, a good sign of business stability, and would provide a business or personal site with the functionality they need to operate on the Web.
