Data Backups

Why You Should Care
As a business with an online presence, the protection of your data and web files is of the utmost importance. In the event of a catastrophic system or user error, valuable data can be lost in moments. The backing up of your data and web files can help insure that the recovery of that data is as smooth as possible.

While most hosting companies allow you to backup your own data, InMotion Hosting goes a step further and backs up customer data every 48 hours. While you shouldn't rely solely on automated data backups, you can rest assured that InMotion Hosting is doing everything possible to insure the safety of your valuable data.

Server Security/Access

Why You Should Care
Providing available SSH access allows more advanced users a greater level of access than what is available through standard web hosting control panels. Because of the additional security concerns this type of access may generate InMotion Hosting requires clients to requestSSH access before it is granted. Those clients are then moved to an SSH enabled server to eliminate the additional risks for our non-SSH clients.

SuPHP is the next generation of scripting access which provides far greater security than PHPSuExec when running PHP based scripts.

Email Functionality

Why You Should Care
While it's common practice for hosting companies to provide some form spam protection, InMotion Hosting goes a step further and provides 2 stage spam protection for Personal Hosting clients and an industry leading 4 stages of spam protection for Business Class Hosting clients. An additional factor to be concerned about is the ability to create email addresses for add-on domains. While most hosting companies do provide this functionality, there are several utilizing older control panels that do not provide this ability.
