An assessment of Lonex

We, at wowskinlaser.co.nz, have selected 'Lonex' to be our present domain and hosting supplier. This is why we believe that this short review of 'Lonex' is perchance going to be very useful for other folks from all around the Globe who are searching for domain name and web hosting services. We state folks from all around the World, since the simple fact is that 'Lonex' currently furnishes domain and hosting services in numerous server farm locations: in America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing nearly the whole planet. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in short:

Shared Site Hosting Packages

The initial detail we, at wowskinlaser.co.nz, have discerned is the cut-rate prices of the shared web space hosting plans furnished by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the hosting plans offered by 'Lonex' are powered by a custom invented, innovative cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like email, databases, webspace hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being served by an autonomous pack of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting supplier on the Globe will have considerable complications with, since cPanel is a one single server based webspace hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web page hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, statistics, etc., is being run on a single web server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based web space hosting providers are unable to include extra functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they need to create their own file system), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared site hosting packages, which are powered by an actual clustered web site hosting solution. With a shared web space hosting plan, each client pays only for his/her plan, thus preserving the web hosting price really low (because multiple clients utilize one and the same server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting plan, which is hosted on a clustered website hosting platform, allows you to pay only for the resources that you indeed need, precluding a situation where you pay for an advanced web space hosting package that you cannot actually use, or for a tiny web hosting plan that cannot host your website. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to commence with a low-end package and upgrade as your web page expands. In this way, you economize funds that you can expend on publicizing the site while it is still novel. Each web site hosting account offered by 'Lonex' offers an online website builder and over 40 widely used script-driven software applications like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for website design services. 'Lonex' supplies shared web page hosting packages in a number of different countries across the World. There is one server farm facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; 2 European datacenter facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific. Thus, practically the whole planet is covered to present you and your website's visitors with a stable and reliable webspace hosting solution at a preferred location. All in all, the shared hosting accounts provided 'Lonex' are very well appointed and are available at an attractive price (beginning from $3.95 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To users with little or no experience, a VPS hosting server may seem hard to manage. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also stores semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main North American data center facility in Chicago. Administering these accounts is similar to managing a conventional shared webspace hosting package through a web hosting Control Panel interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared webspace hosting account such as a free-of-cost website building tool and a web app installation tool, but the system resource quota offered by a semi-dedicated hosting package is many times greater than that of a shared website hosting account. For instance, the CPU power that can be used is about FIVE times as much as compared with the shared site hosting plans. When juxtaposed to a shared web site hosting package, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is great: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain allowance is a principle too. The semi-dedicated web server hosting accounts do not arrive with root access (we, at wowskinlaser.co.nz, regard this as a little disadvantage), but the advantage is that they are managed through the very same web page hosting Control Panel GUI as the shared site hosting plans. This goes to say that a known graphical environment is accessible by all clients who do not have enough self-condifence to handle a VPS hosting server, yet need more power and system resources than a virtual web hosting server can offer. This is like that because the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the reserves of the very same powerful high-class web hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual server web hosting accounts, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very small (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical machine), while the virtual web hosting servers can reach a much bigger number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' can be defined as being very inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus package.

Dedicated Web Servers

According to wowskinlaser.co.nz, enormous web sites such as social networks, community and business portals or famous web storefronts with thousands of clients demand a much more powerful website hosting platform. It appears that the guys from 'Lonex' have come to the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its customers' requirements, 'Lonex' provides a collection of dedicated servers that can manage millions of daily visits. That evaluation rests on the hardware configurations the dedicated servers come with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of web space and Gigabit network cards will beyond doubt ensure the fast and stable performance of any sort of web site. In 'Lonex's opinion, the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-demanding sites. We, from wowskinlaser.co.nz, believe that all dedicated server specs supplied by 'Lonex' are also suitable for beginning a hosting reseller business as each dedicated hosting server provides free-of-charge invoicing software platform and a free-of-charge domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web hosting servers offered by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at wowskinlaser.co.nz, think of this as a little minus, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $30.00 USD. So, if you require help, the Managed Services upgrade includes a selection of extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. A handful of web hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are available with each of the dedicated hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (wowskinlaser.co.nz's) prediction is that the splendid point and click File Manager offered by the Hepsia site hosting CP will probably render the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software futile. Our (wowskinlaser.co.nz's) inference is that the dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very cheap (yet the Hepsia Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will definitely make you smile), beginning from $65.00 for the Optima 01 plan.
