InMotion Hosting vs OVH

Pre-Built & Optimized Software Configurations

Pre-built and Optimized Configurations are available as a FREE one-click add-on during checkout. These optimized server settings are designed and tuned to provide a significant performance boost right out of the box by using the perfect selection of web server, software, caching, and script execution. This helps you significantly reduce your server response time, resulting in even more traffic with less resource usage. Choose from WordPress, PHP, or Standard Configurations. OVH offers pre-configured and optimized software stack options.

Real-Time Redundancy

InMotion Hosting VPS plans all come with a high-availability feature providing real-time redundancy to keep your site(s) up and running. Your node will be a part of a cluster of servers that contain redundant hardware, so if your node fails for any reason, all of your data and files will be safeguarded, and your partition will spin up instantaneously on a different server. OVH does not include a high-availability cloud infrastructure with their cPanel-based VPS Hosting plans.

Free NVMe Solid-State Drives

All InMotion VPS Hosting plans come on premium servers equipped with NVMe solid-state drives (SSDs) that perform up to 20x faster than traditional spinning hard drives. Faster read/write speeds means your content gets loaded and delivered to your visitors quicker. OVH also includes SSD storage with their cPanel-based VPS Hosting plans.

Free Live-State Snapshots

Our snapshot feature provides users with the convenience of quickly and easily creating an identical copy of their VPS partition at any time during the development or maintenance process, allowing them to revert to this snapshot in time at any point. OVH charges a minimum of $4.19/month for their snapshots.

DDoS Attack Protection

All of our VPS Hosting plans utilize Corero’s SmartWall® Threat Defense Systems (TDS), providing all customers with real-time defenses against volumetric distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks up to 5 Gbps. This allows your Virtual Private Server to be protected while not blocking legitimate traffic to your sites through Corero’s exclusive pattern-matching engine. OVH also offers DDoS protection.

Free Domain

InMotion Hosting offers a free domain for a year with all multiple-month VPS packages. If you don’t want to purchase a domain during checkout, a domain credit will be added to your account to be redeemed at a time of your choosing. We offer all major TLDs including .com, .org, .net, .us, .biz, or .info. OVH does not offer a free domain with its VPS Hosting plans.

NVMe SSD VPS Hosting – The New Standard In Speed

SSD has been the reigning champion in speed

SSD, or Solid State Drives, are storage devices up to 20x faster than the previous hard disk drives (HDD). Instead of the traditional spinning disk, SSDs store data using integrated circuits, and are not slowed down by moving parts.

NVMe SSD is now the standard for high performance

NVMe SSDs plug directly into the motherboard, pushing data from the SSD to the CPU up to 6x faster than a traditional SSD drive connected through an AHCi cable.

During peak traffic when your server is put to the test, when the possibility of connection timeouts is the highest, you need an NVMe SSD to power through and deliver.

Common VPS Hosting Questions

How do I transfer my website to InMotion VPS Hosting?

All Managed VPS Hosting plans paired with cPanel or Control Web Panel include free website transfers and server setup through Launch Assist. Launch Assist is a service we offer for our high-end plans to help customers easily transfer or launch your site. A VPS with an added control panel comes with two free hours of dedicated support with a trained SysAdmin who can help migrate or customize your server. Take advantage of Launch Assist for zero-downtime, fully-managed website migrations, and custom server setups with a team of experts. Learn more about what Launch Assist can do for your Virtual Private Server.

Free website transfers do not apply to unmanaged VPS Hosting plans without a control panel.

What is the difference between cPanel, Control Web Panel, and no panel?

The choice between cPanel, CWP, or no panel depends on your specific business needs and preferences.

  • If you prefer a more standardized and widely used control panel or if you require specific features that are only available in cPanel, then cPanel may be the better choice for you.
  • If cost is a major consideration, then Control Web Panel (CWP) may be a better option for your business. Keep in mind, using any control panel can make it easier to manage your website and hosting environment, especially if you have little to no experience in server administration.
  • “No panel” refers to the practice of managing a server or website without the use of a web hosting control panel. This requires a greater level of technical expertise and comes with with a higher level of risk as it is harder to manage. No panel can also be more time-consuming than using a control panel if you are not familiar with command-line access.
