The well-known estimate of the order of the Hurwitz zeta function
<br> $ζ(s,α) - α^{-s} ≪ t^{c(1-σ)^{3/2}} log^{2/3}t$
<br is proved with the constant c = 18.4974 for 1/2 ≤ σ ≤ 1, t ≥ t₀ > 0.
<br> The improvement of the constant c is a consequence of some technical modifications in the method of estimating exponential sums sketched by Heath-Brown ([11], p. 136).
