Team Member Profile: Chenelle Harris Updated on January 23, 2024 by InMotion Hosting Hometown: Newport News, VA Position: Director, HR InMotion Hosting team member since October 2009 How did you get started in the web hosting field? InMotion Hosting is my first experience with the web hosting industry. As a “user” of the web, I had never really given much thought to how it worked behind the scenes, just that I could get to the sites that I wanted too and my email worked correctly. I was truly amazed at how much technical knowledge it really takes to keep sites up and running.

A big shout out to all the wonderful team members in VA and CA, that have been so patience in teaching me the aspects of web hosting and web design. Continue reading –>
