What brought you to InMotion Hosting?

The LAMP stack (Linux / Apache / PHP / MySQL) has been a staple of my personal and professional development since 2003.  When I started looking for PHP development openings, I was not looking for just any company that needed a developer, where there would be some kind of awkward tech-talk language barrier between the project manager and I.  I was looking for a real tech company.  InMotion Hosting stood out as a company I want to work for.

I was also looking for a company that embraces open source software.  Much time in college was spent mastering the command line, and I was looking forward to applying what I had learned to my future career.  My initial interview was conducted in our penguin meeting room, distinguished by the picture of Tux near the door.  I knew I was in the right place.

How has your experience been so far?

It has exceeded expectations, to be honest.  The work atmosphere is very laid back.  Dress code is very relaxed.  We are all techies.  You immediately feel right at home.  This is the kind of place where nobody will ever ask you where to find “My Computer”.  Even Human Resources staff can tell you about our hosting infrastructure.

IMH has set up an environment conducive to efficient software development.  If you prefer to use Linux over Windows, go install Linux, I know I did.  Whether you use vim, Eclipse, emacs, or Notepad, you have the freedom to use whatever development environment you want to get the job done.  With regard to the office atmosphere, a big concern for me is quiet.  Without quiet, there is no focus, and without focus, I won’t be producing quality code.  Fortunately, we keep the development area very quiet.  When you need a break to get your mind off things for a few minutes, there is a foosball table in the break area, and plenty of free snacks nearby, as well.

All of the tools and technologies from college are directly applicable at IMH.  We spend a good amount of time working in a development environment, accessed via terminal.  At the moment I’m working on maintaining and updating infrastructure that supports our internal staff.  We release frequently so that there is never too much changing at any one time, keeping unexpected issues to a minimum.

IMH is just a great place to work.  They recognize that their staff is their greatest asset, and do everything they can to  help us be successful in our careers.

On Friday, March 30th InMotion Hosting was proud to celebrate the grand opening of our new headquarters in Los Angeles. We had a wonderful reception to show our business partners, family and friends our new space.

Our guests came to help us celebrate the 4th office expansion for CA that features awesome views of Los Angeles International Airport and the Palos Verdes Peninsula.

Check out the pictures below to view our new space and the festivities!

March 26th, 2012 marked a milestone for the IMH staff in our Virginia Beach, VA location as they celebrated their 1yr Anniversary in the new office space. Staff members were surprised with an ice cream treat served by their Department Leaders!

On Saturday, March 17, InMotion Hosting was proud to partner with Spark, a non-profit organization that provides life changing apprenticeships for disadvantaged youth, for their annual fundraising gala, Sugar Rush. The fundraiser, with over 200 in attendance, was a dessert tasting with silent and live auctions.

InMotion Hosting was a reception sponsor. We were also in a unique situation because not only were we sponsors for this event, but we were also apprenticeship teachers  this past Fall in Los Angeles. We were able to assist our mentee, Brian, in building a website for his father’s business (otiliolandscaping.com).

This year Sugar Rush helped raise $50,000 to fund apprenticeships in Los Angeles! Please learn more about Spark by visiting their website (sparkprogram.org) to see if they provide apprenticeships in your city.

InMotion Hosting has had the privilege to partner with Tallwood High School in Virginia Beach, VA to provide a meaningful real-world experience to a high school student named Heidi. As Heidi’s internship comes to a close we asked her to share her experience on our blog. Here is what she had to say.

As an eighteen year old, I never thought I would get involved with such an important and influential company such as InMotion Hosting. However, by taking on the challenge of interning for my senior project for Tallwood’s academy, I was able to see firsthand all the work that goes behind keeping a website.

Most people tend to think websites are just there, that designers just slap web pages on the Internet and call it a day; however, that is not the case at all. I’ll admit that before I started interning with InMotion Hosting, I was a bit naïve; I had prior knowledge to web design and servers, but never the whole works. My first week at InMotion, taught me that it takes a lot of people to keep a website hosting company afloat. You’ve got the Sales team who initiate the sales of hosting on the servers, or making a website, etc. You’ve also got the Support Technicians who help customers with troubleshooting, then the D1 & D2 designers, who I spent a lot of time with.

Considering I had prior experience in Dreamweaver and Photoshop (through my ATC class) I was presented with the D1 test and passed, allowing me to focus on tickets with the D1 designers. That’s the greatest experience ever, I feel. D1 designers fix front-end errors for clients and I feel that suits me perfectly. Not only have I learned so much more about working in Dreamweaver and Photoshop, but I’ve also met some of the coolest people at InMotion.

I come in everyday for two and a half hours for my internship and it’s honestly the main thing I look forward to in my day, because I know I’m going to learn something new. On top of that, I like the feeling of more responsibility and actually helping the business, even if it’s in a very small way. It’s an exciting experience and one that will follow me for the rest of my life.

Don’t forget to spring forward!

We would like to remind you that on Sunday, March 11th at 2am clocks will spring forward to 3am as daylight savings time takes affect.

Our suggestion is to move your clocks, especially your alarm clocks ahead 1 hour when you go to bed on Saturday night. This way you don’t have to remember to get up at 2am to do it.
