An assessment of Lonex

We, at chantersell.co.uk, have selected 'Lonex' to be our current domain and web hosting provider. Hence we think that this concise review of 'Lonex' is maybe going to be quite useful for other people from all around the Globe who need domain name and web hosting services. We say folks from all over the Globe, because the simple fact is that 'Lonex' presently offers domain and hosting services in several datacenter facility locations: in America (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, embracing almost the entire World. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Hosting Services

The first thing we, at chantersell.co.uk, have spotted is the modest prices of the shared web site hosting accounts 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 site hosting plans provided by 'Lonex' are powered by an in-house built, ultramodern cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, stats, and so on, runs on an independent stack of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting firm on the Earth will have huge troubles with, because cPanel is a one-server based web space hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web page hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being run on one single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel webspace hosting companies are unable to include extra functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they need to build their own file platform), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared site hosting packages, which are powered by an actual cloud webspace hosting system. With a shared site hosting plan, each customer pays only for his/her plan, thus retaining the hosting price amazingly low (since many users are located on one and the same server). In a few words, a shared hosting account, which runs on a cloud site hosting system, enables you to pay just for the resources that you really require, averting a scenario where you pay for a high-end webspace hosting package that you cannot really utilize, or for a basic webspace hosting plan that cannot handle your web page. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two clicks grants you the flexibility to start with a small package and upgrade as your web site grows. Thus, you economize funds that you can spend on promoting the web site while it is still new. Each and every site hosting package offered by 'Lonex' boasts an online website builder and more than 40 popular script-driven software platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for site design services. 'Lonex' supplies shared web page hosting packages in several different geographical regions across the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago encompassing the US and Canada; 2 European data center facilities - in Great Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. Thus, approximately the whole planet is encompassed to supply you and your site's visitors with a stable and dependable web page hosting service at a nearby place. As a whole, the shared hosting services supplied 'Lonex' are really well furnished and are available at a very affordable price (beginning from $4.25 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To people with little or no experience, a virtual web hosting server may appear hard to manage. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also offers semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main United States server farm facility in Chicago. Managing these plans is similar to administering a standard shared web hosting package via a webspace hosting CP GUI. They have all the functionalities of a shared hosting account such as a free site building tool and a web app installation tool, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated server hosting account is many times bigger than that of a shared hosting plan. For example, the CPU power that can be used is about FIVE times as much as compared with the shared web hosting plans. When contrasted with a shared website hosting account, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is big: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain quota is a norm too. The semi-dedicated plans do not ship with server root access (we, at chantersell.co.uk, regard this as a minor problem), but the benefit is that they are administered via the same site hosting CP user interface as the shared webspace hosting packages. This indicates that a familiar graphical interface is offered to all clients who do not have enough self-condifence to handle a VPS web hosting server, but at the same time need more power and supplies than a private virtual web server can confer to them. This is like that owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the reserves of the same powerful avant-garde servers as the ones which host the virtual server hosting packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per server), whereas the private virtual web servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Lonex' can be classified as being quite affordable (as far as price is concerned), beginning from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus package.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to chantersell.co.uk, huge web sites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous web storefronts with 1000s of customers demand a much more powerful website hosting environment. It appears that the fellows from 'Lonex' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its customers' requirements, 'Lonex' offers a collection of dedicated servers that can tackle millions of daily hits. That estimate rests on the hardware specifications the hosting servers arrive with: multi-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of disk space and Gigabit network cards will undoubtedly guarantee the quick and stable performance of any kind of website. According to 'Lonex', the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring sites. We, from chantersell.co.uk, think that all dedicated server accounts provided by 'Lonex' are also suitable for establishing a hosting reseller business as each dedicated web server comes with free-of-cost billing software platform and a complimentary domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web servers delivered by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at chantersell.co.uk, deem this a tiny disadvantage, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $30.00 USD. So, if you demand assistance, the Managed Services upgrade offers a handful of additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. An array of website hosting CP (CP) GUIs are offered with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (chantersell.co.uk's) forecast is that the excellent point and click File Manager included in the Hepsia web page hosting CP will perhaps make the utilization of any FTP software futile. Our (chantersell.co.uk's) inference is that the dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very modestly priced (still the Hepsia Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name allowance will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $95.00 for the Xenia 01 package.
