Price
You’ll get an initial period discount on your order, so the longer your billing cycle is the more you save.
You can request another discount before your web hosting is up for renewal.
CPU & RAM
There are no hard limits on how much CPU you can use, to my knowledge. CPU is a shared resource between all of their VPS customers.
This plan will automatically downgrade RAM when not needed. For instance in periods of low traffic to your websites.
There is a resource monitoring dashboard you can use to make sure your server has enough RAM, CPU, bandwidth, and storage.
Server configuration
You can select between standard, PHP or a WordPress configuration for your server. The WordPress configuration is, according to their support, a revolutionary new class of server that uses Nginx and PHP-FPM to provide an optimized experience for WordPress sites. For Joomla, Prestashop, and OpenCart the PHP configuration is the suggested configuration.
90-day money-back guarantee
The long money-back guarantee on these VPS hosting plans are only available for multi-month purchases.
Expensive domains & whois privacy
When purchasing your server you will get the option to buy a domain name with whois privacy. It says on their website that they include a free domain with all three of their VPS offers with a billing cycle of 6 or 12 months.
At the moment they charge $12.99/year for the domain privacy. This is useful as it will help you receive less spam by having your personal information hidden. You can get this for free with another registrar though, negating the benefit of the free domain.
Data center location
Choose between hosting your VPS on the east coast or west coast of the USA. In Washington DC or in Los Angeles.
Both data centers are located very close to the local IXP for fast connections.
Not for porn or gambling sites
InMotion Hosting has like many other web hosts restrictions again hosting adult content like porn. In addition, InMotion does not allow gambling websites either.

Price
Go with a 1-year, 6-month, or monthly billing cycle. You need to go with the 1-year billing cycle to get the advertised price on this website. It is slightly more expensive when selecting one of the other cycles. You'll get an initial period discount on your order, so the longer your billing cycle is the more you save. You can request another discount before your web hosting is up for renewal though.

Data Center Location
Choose between hosting your VPS on the east coast or west coast of the USA. They do recommend one of these. For me they recommended the one on the east coast, simply because that is the closest one to my location based on my IP address.

cPanel included
The popular cPanel web hosting control panel is optional. If you deselect it you can save $10/mo, but I would really suggest not to, unless you know what you are doing.
Data center & support
The HostGator servers are located in Houston, Texas, USA. Live tech support available 24/7.
Expensive domain names
If you need a new domain name I would suggest using one of the top registrars and save about 50% off the cost compared to what this web hosting company charges. HostGator is charging $14.95 per year for whois privacy for your domain name, which in contrast, is totally free with some of the best domain registrars.
Conclusion
Due to really high prices after your initial billing cycle is over this plan get a substantially lower score than what it would get otherwise. Also, the high prices for domains and whois privacy and the lack of SSD storage are other reasons this plan gets a pretty low score.
