An assessment of Lonex

We, at dobriaga.com, have selected 'Lonex' to be our current domain and web hosting provider. Hence we expect that this concise assessment of 'Lonex' is probably going to be very useful for other people from all around the World who seek domain name and web hosting solutions. We state folks from all over the Globe, because the mere truth is that 'Lonex' presently provides domain and hosting services in several server farm facility locations: in the United States (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, embracing practically the entire Earth. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Lonex' in a nutshell:

Shared Website Hosting Plans

The first detail we, at dobriaga.com, have noticed is the low prices of the shared web site hosting plans delivered by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the web hosting plans provided by 'Lonex' are powered by a custom invented, advanced cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like email, databases, web hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on a separate pack of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting provider on the Globe will have colossal complications with, since cPanel is a single server based web site hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web space hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, runs on a single server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel web site hosting distributors are unable to add new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to construct their own file system), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared web page hosting accounts, which are powered by a genuine clustered web page hosting solution. With a shared web space hosting plan, each customer pays only for his/her account, thus maintaining the web space hosting price amazingly low (since lots of users are hosted on one and the same hosting server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting plan, which is being served by a cloud hosting platform, enables you to pay only for the resources that you indeed need, evading a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich site hosting package that you cannot actually utilize, or for a low-end web site hosting account that cannot accommodate your site. The option to upgrade your account from one package to another with just 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to commence with a basic package and upgrade as your web site expands. Thus, you spare money that you can spend on publicizing the website while it is still brand new. Each web hosting plan furnished by 'Lonex' includes an online site building tool and over 40 popular script-driven platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for web page design solutions. 'Lonex' supplies shared web site hosting accounts in a number of different countries across the World. There is one server farm facility in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; two European server farms - in the UK and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific. That way, almost the whole Globe is covered to supply you and your visitors with a steady and dependable web site hosting service at a desired location. Altogether, the shared hosting packages delivered 'Lonex' are very well appointed and are available at a very modest price (beginning from $4.25 for the Personal package).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To clients with little or no practice, a VPS web hosting server may seem troublesome to handle. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also offers semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal North American datacenter facility in Chicago. Handling these plans is similar to administering a standard shared web space hosting account via a website hosting Control Panel interface. They have all the features of a shared hosting package such as a free-of-cost website building tool and a web application installation tool, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated web hosting account is many times bigger than that of a shared plan. For example, the central processing unit power that can be used is approximately FIVE times as much as compared with the shared site hosting packages. When contrasted with a shared website hosting plan, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is great: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted Top-Level Domain allowance is a standard as well. The semi-dedicated web server plans do not include full root-level access (we, at dobriaga.com, deem this a tiny disadvantage), but the plus is that they are managed via the very same website hosting CP GUI as the shared web site hosting packages. This hints that a familiar graphical environment is offered to all customers who do not have enough confidence to manage a VPS hosting server, but at the same time demand more power and features than a VPS server can furnish them with. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the reserves of the very same powerful top-class hosting servers as the ones which host the virtual web server accounts, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite small (somewhere between 20 to thirty per physical server), while the private virtual web servers can reach a much bigger number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' can be branded as being very cheap (as far as price is concerned), beginning from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

According to dobriaga.com, large web pages such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular web shops with 1000s of customers need a much more powerful hosting environment. It appears that the fellows from 'Lonex' have come to the same conclusion as well. To satisfy its customers' expectations, 'Lonex' delivers an assortment of dedicated servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That assessment rests on the hardware configurations the dedicated web servers come with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand GB of storage space and Gigabit network interface cards will no doubt ensure the fast and steady performance of any sort of web site. According to 'Lonex', the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring web sites. We, from dobriaga.com, deem that all dedicated server plans provided by 'Lonex' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated server ships with free billing transaction software and a free-of-charge domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at dobriaga.com, regard this as a slight downside, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly tax of $30.00 USD. So, if you require help, the Managed Services upgrade provides a few supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A bunch of website hosting Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are offered with each of the dedicated hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (dobriaga.com's) forecast is that the great drag-and-drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia web page hosting CP will probably make the use of any File Transfer Protocol software program useless. Our (dobriaga.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'Lonex' don't appear to be very affordably priced (yet the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain quotas will beyond doubt make you smile), commencing from $60.00 for the Xenia 01 package.
