Price Value:

Host Department hosting packages are unbeatable; remarkable value for money - Starting from $3.95 you get a package which includes a free Domain for life, a 30 day money-back guarantee and all setup fees waived.
Regardless of your needs, their plans let you save money straight from the start. If you have multiple domain names, you can even save further by hosting all of your domain names under a single hosting account, as no extra cost is incurred for the additional domains.
When users sign up for their No Limit plans, they get to have unlimited amount of bandwidth, disk space, email accounts, databases, FTP accounts and the list goes on. It is good enough when a hosting company provides you with the features that you will need, but to allow you to use them without limitations, it's just pure value-added.
For those users who just want a simple website to blog or post photo galleries, the $3.95 No Limit website plan works best. It has ready-to-use applications such as b2evolution blog, mambo CMS, phpBB forum and Coppermine photo gallery, just to name a few. Expert users will like to opt for their Developer plan, where you get to be able to do your own ASP or PHP scripting, with options to use MySQL and MS SQL databases under a single account. The best part, it only cost you $5.95 onwards and you get to inherit the features of the Website plan, plus additional Development features. The Ecommerce plan is for those who wish to start up their own ecommerce website. At $12.95 monthly, you get to have an ecommerce specialist to help you get your online ventures going.
Their billing cycles come in a number of formats too, from quarterly, semi-annually or annually; of course, as common as it is, you get to save more with a longer billing cycle.

Reliability:

A leading hosting company will need advance and innovative technologies to function. Their servers are completed with 4 physical Dual-Core Intel Pentium Xeon 3.0Ghz processors, along with UltraBac backup system; and linked to the world are a BGP4, five DS3 and an OC3 backbone connections, coupled with a full 100Mbps Cisco Switched network.
With downtime, it is usually not the question of "when", but more of "how". More specifically, how quickly can your hosting company resolve the problem? Swift actions

Customer Support:

Host Department uses HSphere Control Panel which is feature-rich, yet simple to navigate and understand. Setup and maintaining sites become a very easy task.
It allows you to do just about anything you want to do to your account anytime such as adding, removing and managing of your domain and sub domain names, FTP and email accounts, mailing lists, auto responders, aliases, MIME, Apache, PHP and ASP configurations, MySQL, PostgreSQL and, MSSQL and SQL database users. They even allow the canceling and resuming of your subscription, and the reporting of your trouble tickets. All these within a single interface design.
Another advantage of the Control Panel is that you can host more than one domain (with its own name, email accounts, etc.)

Host Department provides assistance through 24/7 Live Chat, Call Center and Email; they even have a call-back option for overseas customers! They are always fast in responding, very helpful, patient and answered all queries in a professional and courteous manner. The support guys are all in a helping mindset, and that is wonderful.
Should you need to refer to some documentation regarding a certain issue; you can check out their extensive knowledge base and search the information out. And if you still can't get something solved or have no idea how to, just login to the Live Chat and ask away. The support representative is quite capable of answering nearly every question imaginable in a clear and understandable format.
