InMotion Hosting : InMotion Hosting Reviews : Not good for Wordpress sites

Inmotionhosting was good as long as my throughput was low. At that stage, their customer service is very good, and they are very helpful. I run a simple Wordpress site with a few plugins, and a low-volume PhpBB site. I do scifi movie reviews on my site. My site started getting somewhat popular (70,000 page views per month) and all of a sudden Inmotionhosting.net starts sending me notices about server resources being eaten away, and recommends that I go to a Virtual Host account for $49 bucks.

This only got worse as my page views went higher. Finally, when my site was averaging around 400,000 page views per month, I started getting almost daily "Final Termination" notices with immediate "contact us or else". According to them, serving up individual gif and jpg files were tapping up to 30% of total server resources. And yes, I had my cache pluging working correctly.

I finally missed one of the contact us or else messages and they yanked my site offline. I still don't know if this was just their "marketing strategy" or just really bad server set-up administration. I have since left to Dreamhost. Bottom line, in my opinion they are a poor choice if you're looking to run a Wordpress site.
