InMotion Hosting Extreme: Better Deal Comparison

Comparing prices across every provider we track...

Better deals exist

InMotion's Extreme plan is competitively positioned but faces significant renewal-price risk (likely 2-4x higher after year 1). Hetzner AX102 and Contabo's high-end VPS options offer better raw specs or lower entry costs with more transparent pricing, though each has distinct tradeoffs in support, SLA, and contract terms.

AX102 Dedicated Root Server

$99/mosave 72%

Significantly cheaper ($99 vs $349.99), includes 128-192 GB DDR5 ECC RAM, 16 vCPU, and up to 3.84 TB NVMe; newer hardware (Ryzen 9 7950X3D) outperforms AMD EPYC 4545P.

Caveat: Setup fee rising to 79 EUR (~$86) in 2026; traffic overages billed per GB in some regions; price marked PLACEHOLDER and unconfirmed.

Cloud VPS Plus 18

$90.88/mosave 74%

Lowest entry cost ($90.88), 18 vCPU and 96 GB RAM with 900 GB NVMe; unlimited traffic and 1 Gbit/s port; no renewal shock if you stay on 24-month terms.

Caveat: Quoted price is for 24-month prepay; shorter terms cost significantly more; ticket-only support; fair usage policy can throttle sustained high bandwidth; 99.90% SLA vs InMotion's implied higher tier.

Cloud VPS 18 (Core)

$52.92/mosave 85%

Cheapest option at $52.92/mo with 18 vCPU, 96 GB RAM, 600 GB SSD, and unlimited traffic; excellent value if storage needs are moderate.

Caveat: Quoted price is for 24-month prepay; 1 or 12-month terms cost 50-100% more; ticket-only support; fair usage policy on unlimited traffic; 99.90% SLA.

Dell R740XD Dedicated Server

$166.7/mosave 52%

True dedicated hardware at $166.70/mo (promo) with 128 GB RAM, 12 vCPU, and 1.92 TB SSD RAID; transparent pricing with no hidden renewal trap if renewal rate holds.

Caveat: Renewal price jumps to EUR 192.94/mo (~$210); prices exclude VAT; delivery time 1-5 days; 12 vCPU and 1.92 TB storage are lower than InMotion's specs.

AMD Tier 3 Dedicated Server

$399/mo

Fully managed US-based dedicated server with 128 GB RAM, 16 vCPU (2x EPYC 7252), and 960 GB NVMe RAID1; includes management overhead.

Caveat: Price is estimated; renewal rates reported at 2-3x intro; exact specs and renewal pricing require a sales call; US data centers only.

Before you switch

InMotion's renewal price will likely jump to $700-1400/mo after year 1; factor this into TCO calculations over 3-5 years.
Hetzner AX102 price is marked PLACEHOLDER and unconfirmed; verify current pricing and setup fees before committing.
Contabo's quoted prices assume 24-month prepay; 1 or 12-month terms cost 50-100% more per month, eroding the savings advantage.
Leaseweb renewal price (EUR 192.94/mo) is ~15% higher than promo; confirm renewal terms in writing.
A2 Hosting requires a sales call for exact pricing and renewal rates; do not assume the $399 intro price will renew at the same rate.
Compare SLA guarantees: InMotion likely offers 99.9%+, Contabo offers 99.90%, Hetzner offers 99.9%; verify uptime credits and support response times.
Bandwidth and traffic policies differ significantly; Contabo and Hetzner have fair-use clauses that can throttle sustained high usage.
