The real price of InMotion Hosting

InMotion Hosting’s cheapest plan, Launch, is advertised at $4.99 a month, but that price requires paying for 36 months upfront: about $180 at checkout. When the intro term ends it renews at $13.99 a month, 180% more. Over three years you’d pay about $180 in total.

Money-back: 90 days. Free domain: 1st year on 12/24/36-month plans. Backups: Backup Manager add-on (automated on select plans). Email: Unlimited addresses.
