Posted on February 8, 2012 by Host Dept.

Host Department LLC. introduces Virtual Private Server(VPS) Hosting Plan in both Linux and Windows platforms. The Virtual Private Server (VPS) is designed to be economical, by allowing multiple customers to share the resources of one computer, yet with an extremely high degree of privacy and insulation. The separation is achieved by running a complete separate operating system for each customer.

Find the features of Linux and Windows VPS Hosting Plans below:

Linux VPS Hosting Plan:

VPS customers have “root” level access and can enjoy many of the benefits of a dedicated server, at a much lower cost. VPS is like living in a town house, without the long term house payment!

Host Department is pleased to offer Linux VPS hosting starting with our entry level $13.95 per month plan all the way up through our Enterprise level plans! We use state of the art hosting management software, called Virtuozzo, to implement our VPS environments.

Free Plesk Panel for first month for Linux VPS Hosting Customers.

Windows VPS Hosting Plan:

Windows VPS is ideal for companies and individuals that run high-traffic websites, complex applications or require customized environments that can’t be provided in shared hosting, and yet do not wish to have the overhead cost of dedicated server along with better control over the security. With full of administrative access you can able to manage your own server and fulfill the requirements which a shared hosting can’t offer.

Host Department is pleased to offer Windows VPS hosting for all plans, starting with our entry level $29.95 per month plan all the way up through our Enterprise level plans! We use state of the art hosting management software, called Virtuozzo, to implement our VPS environments.

The expert staff at Host Department always make sure that your virtual server is up and running 99.999% of the time. This is simply because we understand this pretty well that even a minute of downtime can lead to a big business loss for you.

SOPA Must Die!!!

Posted on February 8, 2012 by Host Dept.

The birth of SOPA has been established through the efforts of the lobbying arms of the studios and labels The MPAA and RIAA.  SOPA or (Stop Online Piracy Act) is in the Senate.

If passed, SOPA will give the Justice Department the ability to shut down almost any blog or website at will, PLUS it will also do absolutely nothing to stop those that pirate movies or music.

sopa must die

sopa must die

James Allworth recently wrote “Is this really what we want to do to the internet? Shut it down every time it doesn’t fit someone’s business model?” and I couldn’t agree more. Censorship is a slippery slope. Not only that but it also creates an absurd amount of bureaucratic busy work. Here at HostGator we already spend a HUGE amount of time answering DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) requests. If we allow our representatives to begin deciding what is and what isn’t ok for you to view on the internet then where will it end?

The bill itself is absurdly broad, creates a ton of liability for small to mid size e-commerce based businesses and will serve to stifle the tech industry in order to cater to lobbying groups paid by companies who refuse to adapt to a world in which free information is king (and almost as unstoppable as a force of nature).

Many Big Companies including Google Opposing SOPA.

But you will be shocked to know that one of our competitors, GoDaddy is supporting SOPA but it is getting backlash from many people.

http://www.thedomains.com/2011/11/15/here-is-godaddys-statement-in-support-of-the-stop-online-privacy-act-house-hearing-tomorrow/

We at Host Department wants internet to be free and it should be unrestricted. We also suggest you to support Free internet and take a step to stop SOPA by contacting by voting no for SOPA.

    June 2009 Uptime Record for Host Department LLC

    Posted on July 5, 2009 by Host Dept.

    First of all, Happy 4th of July and sorry for the lateness. Now, one day after the greatest day of the US, 4th of July, here I am today to report our June uptime record for both new cluster Premium Hosting performance and the old cluster web hosting. As usual, let me begin with the best first.

    Premium Uptime Record

    Service % OK % Critical
    FTP 99.989% 0.011%
    HTTP 100.000% 0.000%
    MySQL 100.000% 0.000%
    SMTP 100.000% 0.000%
    POP 100.000% 0.000%

    As you can review in the table above, our Premium Hosting performance for almost all services reached out 100% uptime except the HTTP service, which was about 99.989% ok and 0.011% critical. Based on this report, we believe that we have proven that we have given premium service in our Premium Hosting plans.

    Overall, our premium hosting performance reached 99.998% uptime in June 2009 and just had 0.002% critical time due to the regular server maintenance to improve further service.

    Regular Web Hosting Uptime

    Service % OK % Critical
    FTP 99.989% 0.011%
    HTTP 99.989% 0.011%
    MySQL 99.989% 0.011%
    SMTP 99.989% 0.011%
    POP 99.989% 0.011%

    On the other hand, our old cluster web hosting reached out 99.989% ok time for all services including FTP, HTTP, MySQL, SMTP, and POP and just had 0.011% critical time. This was resulted from the regular scheduled maintenance.

    Averagely, as you may have seen in the table, our web hosting service was 99.989%, which was 99.99% when it is rounded off, reaching out the regular standard of web hosting performance. This is of course  still not as good as our Premium Hosting. However, we will not stop to improve providing you better web hosting environment.

    Regards,

    Gabrielle
