LOS ANGELES, CA – August 19, 2023 – At InMotion Hosting, we understand that the reliability of your websites and online projects is of the utmost importance. That’s why we want to assure you that we are taking proactive steps to ensure that your online presence remains intact, even as Hurricane Hilary approaches Southern California.
The Storm’s Severity
Hurricane Hilary has been making headlines as it gears up to be one of the wettest tropical cyclones in the history of the state. With the issuance of the first-ever Tropical Storm Watch for California, it’s clear that this storm demands our attention. Currently classified as a powerful Category 4 storm, Hurricane Hilary is predicted to track into Southern California over the upcoming weekend and into the early part of next week. This could bring about moderate to heavy showers, thunderstorms, and possibly stronger winds to the region. Some areas in Southern California are even expected to receive a year’s worth of rain due to this storm’s intensity.
InMotion Hosting’s Preparedness
As your web hosting partner, we take your website’s uptime seriously. Our data center in Los Angeles, operated by Digital Realty, is primed and ready to weather this weather-related event. With generators fueled and standing by, we’re equipped to handle any power disruptions that might arise. Our generators boast an impressive power capacity of 18,000 kW, ensuring that our services remain operational even in the face of adverse conditions.
Moreover, our commitment to uptime is underlined by our partnership with Digital Realty. Their facilities have consistently achieved an impressive “five nines” of uptime across their global data center platform for an astounding 14 consecutive years.

What to Expect
We want to keep you informed about what you can expect during Hurricane Hilary. While our data centers, networks, and hosting services are well-prepared to remain unaffected and fully operational, we understand that there might be some disruptions in our usual response times. Due to the storm’s impact, our phone and chat wait times could be longer than usual. We kindly ask for your patience during this time.
For non-urgent support requests, we recommend utilizing our ticketing system, which can be conveniently accessed through your Account Management Panel (AMP). This will help us prioritize urgent matters and ensure that your concerns are addressed promptly.
