A2Hosting vs InMotion is a battle between two very different hosting services.

While
neither might be particularly well-known outside of the industry, they do work with
different clientele. The goal of this article is to figure out which one is worth your money
by looking at factors like performance, price, features, security, usability, and customer
service. With this data in mind, you should be able to make a more informed choice.

<h2> A2Hosting vs InMotion- Performance </h2>

A2Hosting and InMotion are two very different services when it comes to performance. InMotion
is a solidly middle-of-the-road service that does a lot of things well for its users, but the overall
performance isn't anything special. A2Hosting, on the other hand, features the kind of
performance that's almost unheard of in most of the industry. Not only is it incredibly responsive,
but it also features fantastic up-time. A2Hosting is definitely meant for power-users, with the
kind of tech that makes those in the know salivate. This one's easy to call - A2Hosting takes the
win for its outstanding performance.

<h2> A2Hosting vs InMotion- Prices & Features   </h2>

InMotion and A2Hosting are both multi-tiered platforms that allow users to get what they want
from their experience. InMotion is more of a bargain-priced solution, with enough tools and
price levels to keep customers who just need a good website happy. A2Hosting, however, is
more oriented towards users who already know what they're using and need something
incredibly dependable to keep their sites running.

Picking a winner here isn't necessarily clear - A2Hosting definitely gives more, but it often costs
less. InMotion is a solid choice for those who need something at a mid-range price, but it never
quite performs to the level of A2Hosting. If you're going for pure price, though, InMotion will
simply give you more for less money.

A2Hosting $3.92 - $99.59 5 to Unlimited Unlimited

InMotion $3.00-13.95 1-25 100GB-Unlimited Unlimited


<h2> A2Hosting vs InMotion- Security </h2>
The good news is that both of these services are very safe. InMotion has a fantastic track record of
keeping consumer data safe with a few decent tools, none of which tend to require an extra
subscription. A2Hosting provides basically the same level of protection for no extra subscription, though
it does also have a nice site rewind back-up feature. If you're going to look at the two hosts based only
on security, you're probably going to get a slightly better value from A2Hosting - but not to the point
that it should be the tipping point for choosing one service or the other.

<h2> A2Hosting vs InMotion- Usability </h2>


This is perhaps the easiest category to decide, simply because of how the two services are set up.
Because InMotion tends to market towards novices a bit more heavily, it has a fantastic set of tools
available to hold the user's hand throughout the whole hosting process. A2Hosting might actually have
better tools overall, but they require a lot more experience to use well. It's not that A2Hosting does a
bad job with usability, it's just that it expects more knowledge out of its users to get anything done.
InMotion takes a definitive win here for making sure that even novice customers can build and host the
sites they want to make with ease.

<h2> A2Hosting vs InMotion- Customer Service </h2>

Both of these hosts provide customers with an amazing level of customer service. Really, determining
which one wins is a matter of what you want out of customer service in general. A2Hosting takes the
nod if you're looking for a host that provides you with multiple levels of a quick, personable customer
service. InMotion takes the win if you're looking for customer service that will always be routed through
an American call center. All in all, A2Hosting really does have a much better system in place - it's great
about making sure that all of your issues get resolved and that you're happy by the end of the
interaction.

<h2> Verdict </h2>

It's hard to just give flat scores to these two services because they are very different. A2Hosting wins the
tale of the tape by being geared towards power users, though, even though InMotion makes a very
strong case for being better for novices. These are two services intended for very different types of
people, though those who really want to get the most for their money should stick with A2Hosting.
