Why InMotion Doesn’t Recommend PayPal

The reason why some other web hosts don’t support PayPal is that usually their regular price is much more expensive than the discounted price, and they don’t provide any discount for the renewal. With credit card only, these web hosts can deduct the credits from the credit cards without any additional actions by the customers in the renewal, but if they support PayPal, usually, it needs the customers to re-pay the bill actively. Once the customers are aware of the expensive renew price, some customers may choose to cancel the subscription. Take a negative example. The famous web hosting company HostGator advertises their service starting at $3.96/mo, but actually the renew price is starting at $8.99/mo that is 126% more expensive than the first bill. HostGator supports PayPal, the HostGator user cancellation rate is up to 65%. This is a quite high customer loss rate in the industry.

If you start with InMotion hosting for $4.89/mo for 24 months plan initially, you can renew the subscription for $5.99/mo. This is actually reasonable than almost all the web hosts in market.
