Inmotion Dedicated Vs Hostgator Dedicated
There are many varieties of dedicated hosting options from a multitude of hosting companies. While shared hosting companies far outnumber those that offer dedicated hosting, more and more hosts are providing this option for growing businesses.
Inmotion was founded in 2001 with an aim to provide higher level web hosting options that include dedicated server hosting, as well as VPS and affordable shared hosting.
Hostgator started in a college dorm in 2002 and grew into a hosting giant with their shared-server hosting option. Since then they have been one of the fastest-growing hosting companies and have expanded to offer VPS and dedicated server plans as well.
