Many will say the NO LIMIT feature is a gimmick, a scam. Host Department has come across of many articles, discussion forums and other web hosting communities branding the “Unlimited Disk Space” and “Unlimited bandwidth” features too good to be true and unrealistic for a real-world hosting environment. At Host Department, they will contradict that perception.

The answer is Storage Area Network (SAN). With their state-of-the-art SAN, they are able to give you, the customers, virtually unlimited disk space. In a SAN server farm, unlike a traditional server, data is not stored in internal hard drives. They are stackable and upgradeable to virtually an unlimited amount, up to thousands upon thousands of Terabytes (TB) of hard disk space. If they see an increase in demand, they will just stack additional hard drives into the SAN, thus enabling them to provide you with unlimited storage.

Along with limitless data storage, they are also connected to multiple GigE ports at their data center. Every single server is connected to two GigE (1000 Mbps) lines into our modern routers. This means each server has a really big pipe for traffic for the customers’ websites to flow through.

With today’s advancements in technology, they believe in NOT limiting a customer’s success because of their bandwidth usage. As long as you adhere to their Acceptable User Policy and use your account for web hosting purposes, you are welcome to use as much bandwidth as you like.

In summary, there’s no need for you to worry on having to “switch” to another provider just because you have grown. With their technological advantage, they can help you grow successfully. Still think NO LIMIT disk space and bandwidth a myth? Not at Host Department!

While I was just browsing around. I stumbled upon a review of Host Department. I also like to share my Opinion. For many years I across upon the worst, before I met Host Department. Of course there will always be problems. But for me I learned that, the most important thing is how the web hosting company I sign up for overcomes those problems.

To be able to do so, they have to be equip by “Best of the Best” support. And I found them in Host Department. If there is a problem on my Server, I immediately contact them. And in matter of second, they come up with a solution. I never really believed that a host had 24/7 support. But, I once contact them through Live Chat session at 3:00AM EST and someone live answered my call. Definitely an A+ for their Technical Support!!

I never thought a hosting company would be so helpful. Even for the smallest problems, they are always online for their customers and they they answer every single question and solve the problems. I’m 100% satisfied with the hosting and I’d recommend it to anybody.
