InMotion Hosting VPS Review
Always-on DDoS protection and a free $199 onboarding service on every tier.
InMotion's entry VPS plan bundles 4 vCPU, 8GB RAM, and 160GB NVMe SSD, root access, and always-on DDoS protection (attributed to Corero) on every plan — plus a free "Launch Assist" onboarding service InMotion values at $199, included at no charge.
Its datacenter footprint is the smallest in this comparison at just 3 locations (2 in the US, 1 in the EU), and the advertised price is a discounted multi-year rate that roughly doubles at renewal.
