Quick pick
→ A2 Hosting fits if performance consistency matters — it's the only meaningful technical difference between these two.
→ InMotion fits if you want a US-based team with a strong migration and business hosting track record, and raw speed is less critical.
Reliability, scalability, developer control, support, and value score identically. The one difference that matters: A2's performance consistency is meaningfully higher. Everything else is a tiebreaker.
If you choose A2 Hosting
What you get that InMotion doesn't offer
Faster page delivery — A2's LiteSpeed and NVMe configuration consistently outperforms InMotion's stack in load tests. Slightly smoother setup experience on the control panel side.
What you give up
InMotion's US-based team has a stronger reputation for hands-on support during migrations and setup — particularly on higher-tier plans. A2's support is comparable but less known for that white-glove migration handling.
If you choose InMotion
What you get that A2 Hosting doesn't offer
A longer track record in business hosting with a team known for handling migrations. BoldGrid website builder included. Stronger reputation for dedicated support on business plans.
What you give up
The performance gap is the deciding factor here — A2 consistently delivers faster response times under the same conditions. If site speed is a priority, that gap is the comparison.
