Main Features of InMotion VPS
Burstable RAM
Apart from the amount of RAM dedicated to the server, InMotion offers additional RAM bursts for unexpected memory usages. The unexpected memory usage may occur when the server load increases or on other occasions. The extra RAM is dedicated to the server on a temporary basis, and helps avoid slowdowns or degradation of server performance.
Backup
InMotion understands the importance of critical data and offers backups for your VPS server's contents. They backup the servers every 24 or 36 hours for accounts under 10GB. Backup solutions are also available for accounts larger than 10GB, if needed.
Server Locations
InMotion offers cloud servers at two locations in the United States, and you can choose either data center based on the target audience for your site. The western server is best for targeting Asia, South Pacific, Australia and New Zealand; whereas the eastern server is suitable for Europe, South America and Africa.
Operating System
This VPS provider offers CentOS, the robust enterprise level Linux-based operating system to run your servers. The sixth version of CentOS is used, which is critically acclaimed to be a very good option for server farms.
Plans and Pricing
As a customer of InMotion, you can choose between three plans for your virtual private server needs: VPS-1000, VPS-2000 and VPS-3000. The VPS-2000 plan is considered to offer best value for money, and is also the most popular plan on the site. The setup fee has been wavered for all three plans at the time of writing this. All three plans come with a full cPanel license, which would otherwise cost $425 per year. All the three plans come with CentOS 6, and unlimited domains and websites.

The plan also comes with a total premium transfer size of 750GB per month & 40GB of fault tolerant storage (RAID 10 based). You can have up to 2 dedicated IP addresses and the plan is priced at $39.95 per month.
