We are so confident you will love our InMotion Business Hosting product, we give you 90 days to try our service and judge the quality for yourself. If you are not completely satisfied, we will give you your money back, no questions asked. SiteGround only offers a full money-back guarantee for 30 days.

Max Speed Zones

InMotion Hosting has data centers on both the West Coast and the East Coast of the United States. We offer Max Speed Zones, which allow you to choose your data center location based on proximity to achieve optimal speeds. SiteGround only has one US data center.

Free Domain

We offer a FREE domain with all 1- to 3-year Shared Hosting plans. If you don’t want to purchase one during checkout, we’ll give you a free domain credit to use at a later time for all the major TLDs, including .com, .net, .org, .us, .biz, or .info. SiteGround also offers a free domain with the purchase of a Shared Hosting plan.

Pre-Installed WordPress

Get the popular Content Management System (CMS) WordPress installed with your hosting package on checkout. No manual download or setup. InMotion Hosting gets you started as soon as you purchase your Shared Hosting plan. SiteGround plans do not come with WordPress pre-installed.

Free SSL

Keeping your website and content secure is our top priority. That’s why we provide a free private SSL on all Shared Business Hosting plans. Perfect for eCommerce and more, you can complete online transactions and accept payments on your website worry-free.

Separate Staging Area

When you sign up for a Business Hosting plan with InMotion Hosting, you also get unlimited subdomains available with your account. Use your subdomains to set up a testing environment for ongoing development and site changes. This safeguards you against any kind of error when updating your site. Our premium WordPress website builder, BoldGrid, also offers a staging area built in!

Free 1-Click Application Auto-Installer

All of InMotion Business Hosting plans come with our 1-Click Application Installer, Softaculous, free of cost. We know how much of a pain manually installing applications can be, so get instant access to some of the biggest applications on the web, such as WordPress, PrestaShop, Drupal, and more.

Automatic Vulnerability Patching

We work hard to keep your website safe from malware and hackers! Your website files are regularly scanned and patched for vulnerabilities by our security system. Any malware and potential exploits are quarantined to prevent damage to your site and data. This automatically patches your applications with the latest security updates available.

Unlimited Bandwidth

InMotion Hosting offers unlimited bandwidth with all Launch, Power, and Pro Shared Hosting plans. We believe a lack of resources should never limit your ability to run your website. None of SiteGround’s Shared Hosting packages offer unlimited disk space.

24/7 Expert Human Tech Support

InMotion Hosting prides itself on Customer Service. We offer 24/7 expert human support via phone, chat and email to make sure we can promptly address any issues you might run into. Our goal is to thrill the customer!

  • The free domain is only for the first year. After that, the domain will renew at the regular price at that time.
  • If you cancel your hosting plan within the Money Back Guarantee period, we will deduct the regular price of the domain from your refund amount.
  • Domain registration fees are non-refundable.

For more details, please check our Domain Registration Terms of Service.

Unmatched Speed and Performance

Our data centers are located on IXPs, which create a virtual shortcut between your site and your visitors. Global communication partners allow your site to jump across networks, reaching your visitors faster. Dual high-performance fiber optics link directly from the ISP to your server, which creates an instantaneous connection. All-SSD servers are 20X faster than the traditional HDDs that many of our competitors still use. Triple-tier server-level caching “pre-loads” your files to avoid disk reads, making your site load faster. Max Speed Zones give you the ultimate choice in site speed. All of these technical enhancements really do one single thing – make your websites load as fast as possible.
