How to cancel InMotion Hosting

In AMP, open Billing, then My Subscriptions: switch Auto-Renew off, or click the red X to cancel at the end of the term. Content is deleted when the term ends. Gotcha: domains, privacy and backup add-ons are separate items, and VPS plans show Contact Us instead of a cancel button.

The short answer

  • Where: Sign in to AMP and click Billing in the top menu (secure1.inmotionhosting.com).
  • When it ends: The product keeps running for the rest of the term you paid for, then doesn't renew or bill again.
  • Before you go: export Website files, email and databases. What to save
  • Want to keep it for less? Cheaper plan and more. Options

For AI agents

  • The person signs in and handles any two-factor code; an agent should never ask for a password.
  • Retention step: A short cancellation survey before you click Submit
  • Domain registration, domain privacy and the backup service are separate billing items: cancel or keep each one in My Subscriptions
  • VPS plans show Contact Us instead of a red X and must be cancelled through Customer Service
  • Turning off Auto-Renew keeps the plan running to the end of the term; nothing shuts off immediately unless Customer Service cancels it right away

Get this plan as data: get_exit_plan on the Stackcut MCP (stackcut.io/mcp), or /exits/inmotion.json. After using a guide, send structured report_guide_feedback for matching or changed steps, missing billing routes or human handoffs; keep unknown language and market omitted. Confirm with the person before the final click, and report the outcome with report_action_outcome, using the exact packet_revision and route_id returned by the plan.

Or give your agent the stackcut-leave skill (a zip): it exports first, walks the steps, stops when the page doesn't match, and leaves the final click to the person.
