Stay away from Hostdepartment.com

I have read some reviews about Hostdepartment.com, I've been making the web hosting review rounds to let the public know that Hostdepartment.com is a pack of thieves. I have bought a Reseller hosting plan with them in November and I never received the necessary information to put up my site, slow server, poor performance. All attempts to contact them via email failed. live chat is totally fake, I even tried opening a support ticket only discover that their support application was failing. I was never able to open a ticket.
From the first day I have got many problems, they offer live chat software they offer no limit disk space but actually all offers are fake.
These guys are really REALLY bad and they don’t want to refund my funds approx $549.45 even I lost my very valuable clients.

I also register my complaint BBB.org and waiting for result, If anyone wants to file against them, contact the Better Business Bureau at BBB.org or contact me to get their information.

I've found the EXACT same positive reviews about them posted on SEVERAL sites by the same people & the same day. I am convinced these reviews are fake and posted by Hostdepartment staff to lure in customers. Stay away from Hostdepartment.com! I was attracted by the low prices and this was indeed a big mistake.

Thanks
Lynx

P.S. Before choose a web hosting service, I recommend to checkout WHT forum or search on Google (keywords Experience with hostdepartmentor forum hostdepartment)

You must really hate these dudes to post a review on a non hosting review site.

I am a current user of this web hosting company called hostdepartment.com. I cannot tell you how fed up I am. Not only is the web server down all the time, the customer tech support is often offline and no one answers the phone. I am desperately trying to find another company now. Their customer support, when online, they do act very nice and helpful...but don't be tricked by this. You will feel like a sucker after you run into all the problems. You will get "Out of memory" errors as well as all other sorts of errors and your site will be down. This is a serious honest warning to those who consider them. On top of this, they will limit your unlimited domain name hosting. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY.

Also to add a note, i also tried Vortechhosting.com which is also a bunch of liars. They will deny there are any server problems to avoid them from having to pay you back for the downtime as stated in their terms.
