25 Years of InMotion Hosting: A Letter to Our Clients

2022 to 2024: Faster, More Global, and Recognized for It

During the early 2020s, two things became clear of nearly every customer we served: their sites needed to be faster and their audiences were no longer all in one country. We spent these years answering both.

Speed came first. In 2022, we rolled out NVMe SSD storage across our VPS plans, the quickest drives we could put under a customer site. Pages rendered faster, databases answered faster, and stores that live or die by checkout speed benefited right away.

Then it was time to expand our services. In 2023, we opened a purpose-built data center in Amsterdam, our first outside of the United States. The location was deliberate, sitting near three of the world’s largest internet exchanges. This afforded our clients faster load times for European visitors and GDPR compliance. The growth ladder we spent two decades building had officially made it to Europe.

In 2024, we gave clients more control of their environments. We launched more control panel options for VPS and dedicated clients, so they could choose what was best for their needs. That same year, we partnered with Monarx to harden server security against malware.

And our efforts were getting noticed: SourceForge named InMotion Hosting a Winter 2024 Leader on a 4.2 out of 5 score that placed our product in the top 5% of reviewed products.

All the while, we stayed the course we set back in 2001: reinvesting in infrastructure we own and staffing it with people who stay, now proven well beyond where we started. In fact, through the years, we’d maintained our Great Place to Work® Certification™. The people who learned your setup years ago are still the ones answering your call.

2025 to 2026: Still Building, 25 Years Later

As we enter our 25th anniversary, we continue to focus on our mission to bring tools, platforms, and outstanding customer service within anyone’s reach to transform their online presence.

In 2025, we moved into our Constitution office in Virginia Beach and committed to a remote-first team.

Then, in late 2025, we formed InMotion Labs, a specialized research team whose job is to look even further ahead than most companies do. Our team keeps its finger on the pulse, watching where the industry is heading, the tools agencies are starting to reach for, and the risks no one is naming yet.

Right now, they are focused on a practical question: as agencies adopt AI to build sites and apps from plain description, how do we help them bring those tools to their own clients, then deploy, maintain, and secure them? InMotion Labs researches, tinkers, and develops in the name of creating practical tools for agencies to modernize how they and their clients host their web sites and applications. All of it backed by 25 years of home-grown infrastructure and human support.

Recently, we turned to the clients who had grown the most with us: the freelancers and small shops who once ran a single site on our plans, now becoming agencies managing dozens of client sites. In 2026, we made that relationship official with the Agency Partner Program.

The program treats an agency as a long-term partner, rather than a one-time referral. From a single WebPro dashboard, partners manage billing, upgrades, email, and application installs across every client account. They earn commissions on hosting accounts they bring over, get discounted pricing for themselves (and their clients), and move to the front of the line for our most experienced engineers for Advanced Product Support. We migrate their site for free and list them in a public directory where new clients can find them. For an agency, the program turns hosting from a cost they pass along into an active part of their business growth.

We’re still investing in raw performance, too. In 2026, we also tripled the base port speed on our dedicated servers. We gave the highest-traffic clients more room before they ran into a limit.
