Host Department is one of the worst run businesses I have ever used.
Norton flags their site as unsafe.
It's easy for scammers from Nigeria, Russia, and other places to set up sites that look like legitimate sites, such as those of major global financial institutions, but they are there to lure visitors to reveal their login information.
Hundreds of spams get into your inbox from WITHIN Host Department even before your email account receives messages from outside Host Department servers.
Every time they "migrate" their servers, which is all the time, something breaks that has to get fixed. This includes server extensions to the very IP address of your site, meaning it is down even though Host Department claims 99% uptime.
Finally, when you prepay for services for, say, six months, you should get the services for six months for the prepaid price, right? Not so fast, Host Department increases the price in the middle of the prepaid service period, saying they have had cost increases over the last FIVE YEARS. How deceptive is that? Unless you move your site, you have to pay these increased fees for the service you already paid for.
My advice after staying loyal for over 3 years: stay away from Host Department.
