The InMotion Difference! |
The InMotion Hosting customers never have to worry about their bandwidth quota exceeding their hosting package limit. This is very common with many online businesses who don't expect to receive lots of traffic when they launch their business, however afterwards the traffic spike due to their customer base increases exponentially thereby eating up all their entitled bandwidth. At this point, their websites are prone to being shut down by other Web hosting service providers because of bandwidth outage. However, this does not hold true for InMotion due to their "bandwidth guarantee" which ensures that the customer's website will not be shut down but instead an overage cost will be charged to them. This saves online businesses from losing their visitors and consequently any potential sales.

Simplicity of Use - Control Panel |
InMotion Hosting control panel is easy to use with a user-friendly interface. Many Web hosting companies use CPanel which is a very common control panel and the same is being used by Inmotion. CPanel features about 35 different functions which are quickly accessible. These functions include file management, e-mail management, disk usage, forums, web statistics, additional domain management, search engine submission, system security and a host of many other options.
Webalizer (a common application used by many Web hosts) runs in parallel with the web site statistics function. It gives a clear image about your web site stats. You can find out exactly where your site visitors are coming from (including country name), the OSs and browsers being used by those visitors, their landing and exiting pages on your web site with tracking on a daily/hourly basis.
