NO LIMIT a gimmick? Here's how we DO IT!
Many will say our NO LIMIT feature is a gimmick, a scam. We have also 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, we will contradict that perception.
The answer is Storage Area Network (SAN). With our state-of-the-art SAN, we are able to give you, our 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 we see an increase in demand, we will just stack additional hard drives into the SAN, thus enabling us to provide you with unlimited storage.
Along with limitless data storage, we are also connected to multiple GigE ports at our 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 our customers' websites to flow through.
With today's advancements in technology, we believe in NOT limiting a customer's success because of their bandwidth usage. As long as you adhere to our 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 our technological advantage, we can help you grow successfully. Still think NO LIMIT disk space and bandwidth a myth? Not at Host Department!

Hosting for FrontPage Websites
Microsoft FrontPage is one of the most popular, powerful and reliable editors available. FrontPage Hosting represents a niche market in the form of support for a Web authoring software product. Frontpage Hosting is for Web Hosting Plans that include support for Frontpage. Even if you are a novice and just starting to learn, Front Page with its point and click forms, easy navigation, database integration and simply publishing feature is a fantastic testament to great technology. FrontPage works well only if your host has FrontPage Server Extensions installed.
FrontPage HostingMicrosoft FrontPage is a popular Web site management and creation tool that utilizes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for easy use. The most essential aspect of FrontPage's success is its design element. FrontPage utilizes the What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) design technique. Simply put, the elements you place on the page are edited in the same manner they will be seen.
This helps the designer in visualizing the page before and during the design process. Additionally, in FrontPage you can either create Web pages using varied tools and macros that come with FrontPage on the normal layer or you can edit the HTML directly on the HTML layer or a combination of both.
Potential loss of revenue is just one of the reasons for wanting to choose a good host. A problem with the host can affect the other services connected with the domain. Services such as email and FTP could also be affected, and checking emails may become difficult. Another problem is that, messages could get sent back to the sender and your visitors could come to the conclusion that the site no longer exists.
FrontPage Server Extensions Defined
The FrontPage Server Extensions are actually a group of programs which run on a server. Your local server has them, and if your webs are on an Internet Server which supports FrontPage, they are on the remote server as well. In fact, every FrontPage web on a server has its' own set of extensions, as well as the server itself.
The server extensions affect 3 basic areas of functionality:
1. Authoring. The Server Extensions interact with FrontPage Explorer when you do file/folder maintenance functions, such as moving, deleting, and renaming files and/or folders in your FrontPage webs. For example, if you move a file from one folder to another, the Server Extensions will edit all hyperlinks to and from that file to point to the correct (new) locations.
2. Administering. The Server Extensions handle communications with the server, related to permissions, and keep track of who has done what, and when, in the case of multiple authors on a single web.
3. Browse-time Functionality. This is where those "WebBots" come in. When these "components" are employed in a web, the Server Extensions provide them with their functionality. In this sense, the extensions behave much like CGI programs.
Choosing a host for your web site can be a frustrating process; especially if progressive values and eco-friendliness are important aspects of your business. Naturally, you're looking for a host that combines all of the right features for the right price. So why should you choose ThinkHost?
Commitment to customer satisfaction
ThinkHost's number one goal is customer satisfaction. Our team works together to make that possible. Whether it's walking you through a domain transfer or account setup, or troubleshooting a difficult CGI script, we'll do what it takes to keep you happy wherever we can. Read what our clients have to say about us.
We offer a complete online Knowledge Base, documenting just about everything we offer. If you can't find it there, our Customer Care team would be more than happy to help you.
Progressive, socially responsible & supporting the community
ThinkHost is a socially responsible company who walks the talk when it comes to positive social change. We contribute to many community based organizations, assisting them in their efforts to provide a wide range of information and services. ThinkHost also offers non-profit community based organizations and progressive companies discounted web hosting. USA community groups focused on peace, environment or social justice may also be eligible for free hosting.
Environmentally conscious
All our hosting plans are 100% wind/solar powered. Added to that, most of our team members "telecommute" - saving thousands of gallons of fuel annually that would have otherwise been consumed in commuting to a traditional work environment. We use very little in terms of paper and encourage the use of notebook computers by our team to conserve electricity. We recently also implemented a tree planting initiative - we plant a tree for every new client! Learn more in our social responsibility statement and social change section.
Financial stability
We have developed a business plan which ensures our company is, and always will be financially secure. Through this plan, we achieved profitability just two months after we were founded in 1999. We do not invest in gimmicks that don't work and we don't waste money on pointless advertising that could be used to further enhance ThinkHost's range of services. We've been around for a long time, and we intend on continuing to supply first class web site hosting for many years to come.
Feature rich hosting at a sensible price
We offer a wide array of services, providing support for technologies including PHP, MySQL, FrontPage and PERL, not to mention the many bonuses we offer our clients. We are also one of the few hosts who offer access to your account via SSH. ThinkHost also provides many Apache modules such as mod_alias and mod_rewrite, plus full .htaccess control. Add to all this powerful tools such as phpMyAdmin and secure web mail; and you have one of the most flexible hosting packages around.
Our services are simple to use, and can be easily expanded. Should you ever have any problems, our support team is eager to help. Review our range of web site hosting solutions.
International company
We are based in the USA, but our staff are located around the world. Many webmasters and site owners from a variety of countries have chosen ThinkHost as their web site hosting solution.
Reliability
Housed on a Unix (FreeBSD) based server in secure world-class data centers, plenty of UPS backup power, backup generators, and N+1 redundant HVAC systems, our clients rest easy in the knowledge that their data is stored in a truly reliable atmosphere. In addition, frequent backups help ensure the safety of all our clients' data even in the case of a disaster.
Our current uptime average per server is approximately 99.6 to 99.8%. Those figures aren't our server uptime but rather our service uptime. Our servers are up quite near to 100% of the time. We record uptime as how long all of the services on the server, such as MySQL, email and HTTP are functional.When comparing uptime figures between hosts, bear in mind that many companies may claim "99.99% uptime", but they will actually be referring to their servers being powered on and connected to the Internet; however, in most instances they won't subtract the downtime from a single service such as email not functioning, which we do.
Bonus offers
In addition to our custom written Control Panel, as a client you will be able to utilize our web-based email client, MySQL database manager and our pre-installed scripts included with each account. For more advanced users, telnet and SSH access will allow you added freedom. We also offer a variety of other special offers and bonuses to provide you with added functionality and value for money.
Commitment to open source.
The basic idea behind open source is simple. When anyone and everyone has access to the source code, it becomes more stable and more powerful much faster than it would otherwise. Nearly all of the software we run was created with this principle in mind.
Our control panel was written in-house, entirely from scratch. Why does that matter? When you contact Customer Care, you have the opportunity to work with the same people that programmed the software you're using. We are constantly adding to it and improving it, and one day, we plan to release the source code to the community.
Fast setup and multiple payment methods.
We accept any credit or check card with the VISA, MasterCard, Discover, or American Express logo. Using our secure server, you can submit your confidential billing information to us without having to worry someone else stealing it. We use tried and true technologies, along with added security measures, to keep your data safe. We also accept faxed payments, checks and money orders.
