Best VPS Hosting - Best Virtual Private Server Hosting Award

InMotion Evaluation
Performance There are three things that drive VPS hosting performance - hardware, number of virtual private servers on the hardware, and the resources each VPS gets. InMotion uses Dell 2950s with 16GB or 32GB of RAM, 2 high end Quad Core Xeon Processors and most importantly, 15K SAS hard drives. We wish they would release the number of VPS they put on a server, but they probably dont want their competitors to know. They do say it is tied to actual performance of the individual VPS and the types of packages that are on the hardware (they offer three). It would be good to know this, but their customer feedback often talks specifically about how fast the service is.
Reliability Their uptime is excellent, and we believe this is probably for a few reasons. Their servers are really high end with redundant power supplies and RAID5. This means that failed electronic components (like a hard drive) wont matter, your VPS will continue to run. Also, InMotion uses BGP4 bandwidth to help protect from problems with routing on the Internet. They also do a lot of "peering" with really big ISPs to help keep the routes short and fast. Last, InMotion allows for bursting of usage by your VPS, meaning that when your VPS gets a spike in traffic, it stays up and does not shut your site down.
