Host Depot is one of the older companies in this industry as it was founded way back in 1997. They have always focused on providing high quality hosting as well as other services to individuals as well as all types of businesses. They are based out of Coral Springs, FL and have a very high quality data center in that area as well.
The data center is 22,000 square feet and has all the modern features such as diesel generators, advanced air handling systems and much more. The facility is also secured by armed guards to help ensure your site is as safe as possible.
They offer multiple different shared hosting packages, VPS packages and even dedicated servers so they will be able to meet all your needs.
Uptime & Reliability
Surprisingly reliable hosting at every level
In most cases when you see so many different hosting packages you assume that they are overselling their servers. From what I have been able to find, that doesn’t appear to be the case here. There are very few complaints about slow load times, and some people even specifically mention that the stability of even their lower end shared hosting is exceptional
Features
Quality features for any type of site
No matter which of the hosting packages you choose, you’ll be provided with all the basic features that you need. At every level you can choose from Linux or Windows servers, and you will have lots of different options. They break the different hosting types up into categories, which are starter, business, corporate and enterprise.
This helps to make it easier to choose the right package for you, though the fact that there are so many can still make it confusing. Also, most of their hosting packages are not listed on the same page so it can be a bit difficult to compare them.
In addition to the normal hosting services they also provide collocation services, exchange servers, domain registration and much more.
Support
Great support 24/7/365
Whether you need customer support or technical support, you will have no trouble getting in touch with Host Depot. They have a nice ticketing system, easy email support, a live chat option and a 24/7 tech support phone number. Even better, they also have an international phone number for their customers.
They have a well organized knowledge base that makes it easy to find the instructions you need to fix most types of problems quickly and easily.
Pricing
Great pricing with lots of options
With Host Depot you can certainly find a hosting package that is well within your budget. There is something at nearly every price point, but since they offer so many different options it can be difficult to choose the right one. You do want to be careful not to go too cheap though as you may end up with a package that won’t be able to meet your needs. Fortunately, they do make it easy to upgrade to higher hosting packages
