An evaluation of Lonex

We, at thegreattshirtcompany.com, have selected 'Lonex' to be our present domain and hosting distributor. This is why we believe that this brief review of 'Lonex' is probably going to be quite useful for other individuals from all around the Globe who are looking for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all around the World, because the simple truth is that 'Lonex' currently furnishes domain and hosting services in several data center locations: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, embracing virtually the whole Globe. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in brief:

Shared Web Site Hosting Packages

The initial detail we, at thegreattshirtcompany.com, have perceived is the low prices of the shared site hosting solutions delivered by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the webspace hosting plans delivered by 'Lonex' are driven by an in-house invented, ultramodern cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web page hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being handled by an individual stack of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting provider on the Earth will have immense predicaments with, since cPanel is a single server based hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on a single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based web page hosting suppliers cannot add new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to develop their own file system), which is the basis of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web space hosting packages, which are driven by an authentic cloud web space hosting platform. With a shared web space hosting plan, each client pays only for his/her package, thus keeping the web site hosting price very low (because many customers are located on one and the same web server). In short, a shared hosting package, which is hosted on a cloud hosting platform, allows you to pay just for the resources that you actually need, avoiding a scenario where you pay for a high-end web hosting plan that you cannot actually utilize, or for a small web hosting package that cannot shelter your web site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only 2 mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to start with a low-end package and upgrade as your online presence expands. Hence, you save cash that you can invest in advertising the web site while it is still new. Each hosting plan supplied by 'Lonex' includes an online website builder and more than forty popular script-driven software platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for site design services. 'Lonex' distributes shared web hosting packages in several different regions around the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; 2 European datacenter facilities - in England and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. Thus, virtually the entire Globe is covered to provide you and your visitors with a steady and reliable web site hosting service at a preferred place. Altogether, the shared hosting services furnished 'Lonex' are really well furnished and come at a very inexpensive price (starting from $4.25 for the Personal package).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To users with little to no practice, a VPS may seem problematic to administer. That's probably why 'Lonex' also houses semi-dedicated web servers in its principal North American datacenter facility in Chicago. Managing these plans is similar to handling a regular shared web space hosting package via a web space hosting Control Panel user interface. They have all the specs of a shared hosting account such as a free-of-charge web site building tool and a PHP script installation tool, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated web server account is many times larger than that of a shared web hosting plan. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is nearly 5 times as much as compared with the shared web site hosting packages. When contrasted with a shared hosting plan, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain name quota is a pattern as well. The semi-dedicated hosting server accounts do not offer full root access (we, at thegreattshirtcompany.com, think of this as a minor downside), but the good point is that they are administered through the same web hosting Control Panel interface as the shared plans. This implies that a known GUI is offered to all customers who do not feel confident enough to handle a private virtual hosting server, but at the same time require more power and reserves than a VPS hosting server can supply them with. This is so due to the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the resources of the same powerful ultramodern hosting servers as the ones which host the VPS web server hosting plans, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very low (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical machine), whereas the VPS web servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to 120 per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' can be defined as being amazingly inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus package.

Dedicated Web Servers

In thegreattshirtcompany.com's opinion, enormous websites such as social networks, community and business portals or famous online stores with thousands of customers call for a much more powerful web space hosting platform. It seems that the chaps from 'Lonex' have come to the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its customers' requirements, 'Lonex' delivers a selection of dedicated web hosting servers that can tackle millions of daily hits. That estimation rests on the hardware specifications the dedicated web servers include: many-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of web space and Gigabit network interface cards will beyond doubt ensure the fast and stable work of any type of site. In 'Lonex's opinion, the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding websites. We, from thegreattshirtcompany.com, believe that all dedicated server configurations furnished by 'Lonex' are also suitable for establishing a hosting reseller business as each hosting server arrives with free-of-charge invoice transaction software platform and a free-of-charge domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated servers furnished by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at thegreattshirtcompany.com, think that this is a little downside, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax of $30.00 USD. So, if you demand aid, the Managed Services upgrade includes several extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A bouquet of web site hosting CP (CP) GUIs are available with each of the dedicated hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (thegreattshirtcompany.com's) forecast is that the excellent drag and drop File Manager added in the Hepsia site hosting CP will possibly render the use of any FTP software program futile. Our (thegreattshirtcompany.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' don't appear to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia web page hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will definitely make you smile), beginning from $95.00 for the Xenia 01 plan.
