An assessment of Lonex

We, at roofcleaningandrestoration.com, have chosen 'Lonex' to be our present domain and hosting supplier. This is why we suppose that this short review of 'Lonex' is perchance going to be quite useful for other folks from all around the Globe who are looking for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say individuals from all around the Globe, because the mere fact is that 'Lonex' presently offers domain and hosting services in multiple server farm locations: in the United States (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering approximately the whole Earth. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in brief:

Shared Hosting Plans

The initial detail we, at roofcleaningandrestoration.com, have perceived is the reasonable prices of the shared web page hosting solutions provided by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the web site hosting accounts delivered by 'Lonex' are driven by an in-house built, leading edge cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being dealt with by a different host of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting vendor on the Earth will have enormous problems with, because cPanel is a one single server based site hosting platform (each hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, website hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, stats, etc., runs on one single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel webspace hosting distributors are unable to include new functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they must concoct their own file system), which is the basis of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared webspace hosting plans, which are powered by an actual cloud web space hosting platform. With a shared hosting plan, each client pays only for his/her plan, thus maintaining the webspace hosting price really low (since lots of users utilize the same web hosting server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting package, which is hosted on a clustered webspace hosting solution, enables you to pay just for the reserves that you indeed demand, escaping a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich web hosting account that you cannot truly use, or for a low-end web page hosting plan that cannot handle your web page. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with just 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to commence with a small plan and upgrade as your Internet presence expands. In this way, you spare funds that you can expend on promoting the site while it is still brand new. Each web hosting plan provided by 'Lonex' boasts an online web site builder and more than 40 popular script-driven software platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you hundreds of dollars for web site design services. 'Lonex' distributes shared webspace hosting packages in several different countries across the Globe. There is one server farm in Chicago encompassing the US and Canada; two European server farms - in the UK and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. Thus, nearly the entire Globe is encompassed to supply you and your visitors with a steady and dependable website hosting solution at a nearby place. As a whole, the shared hosting packages furnished 'Lonex' are really well furnished and are available at an excellent price (starting from $4.25 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To clients with little to no experience, a VPS hosting server may appear troublesome to administer. That's probably why 'Lonex' also keeps semi-dedicated servers in its principal United States server farm in Chicago. Handling these packages is comparable to managing a standard shared account through a website hosting CP tool. They have all the specs of a shared webspace hosting package such as a fee-free website builder and a web app installer, but the system resource quota provided by a semi-dedicated web hosting server account is many times larger than that of a shared hosting package. For example, the CPU power that can be used is almost FIVE times as much as compared with the shared web hosting packages. When compared to a shared web hosting account, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain quota is a rule as well. The semi-dedicated server hosting packages do not include root privileges (we, at roofcleaningandrestoration.com, deem this a little problem), but the benefit is that they are managed via the same web space hosting Control Panel user interface as the shared hosting packages. This implies that a recognizable GUI is accessible by all customers who do not feel self-confident enough to administer a virtual private hosting server, yet need more power and reserves than a virtual private hosting server can supply them with. This is so due to the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the resources of the very same powerful hyper-advanced web servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual web server hosting packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very small (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical server), while the virtual hosting servers can reach a much higher number (80 to one hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' can be branded as being amazingly inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), starting from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

In roofcleaningandrestoration.com's opinion, big web pages such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular online stores with thousands of customers call for a much more powerful web site hosting platform. It appears that the fellows from 'Lonex' have come to the same conclusion too. To live up to its clients' needs, 'Lonex' provides an assortment of dedicated web hosting servers that can tackle millions of daily visits. That evaluation rests on the hardware specs the dedicated web servers come with: many-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of web space and Gigabit network cards will beyond doubt ensure the fast and stable work of any sort of website. In 'Lonex's opinion, the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring sites. We, from roofcleaningandrestoration.com, deem that all dedicated server accounts supplied by 'Lonex' are also appropriate for beginning a hosting reseller business as every dedicated hosting server arrives with free invoicing transaction software platform and a complimentary domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web servers provided by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at roofcleaningandrestoration.com, deem this a small defect, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $30.00 USD. So, if you demand backing, the Managed Services upgrade offers a handful of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. An assortment of website hosting Control Panel (CP) interfaces are offered with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (roofcleaningandrestoration.com's) prognosis is that the great point-and-click File Manager offered by the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel will probably make the use of any File Transfer Protocol client useless. Our (roofcleaningandrestoration.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia site hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $40.00 for the Optima 01 package.
