An assessment of Lonex

We, at negidem.com, have picked 'Lonex' to be our current domain and web hosting provider. Therefore we presume that this succinct review of 'Lonex' is perchance going to be very helpful for other individuals from all around the Globe who are searching for domain name and web hosting services. We say people from all over the Globe, since the simple fact is that 'Lonex' currently furnishes domain and hosting services in multiple datacenter facility locations: in the United States (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, encompassing practically the entire Globe. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in short:

Shared Web Hosting Solutions

The first thing we, at negidem.com, have perceived is the low-cost prices of the shared site hosting solutions furnished 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 page hosting plans delivered by 'Lonex' are powered by a custom created, modern cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being served by a separate pack of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting supplier in the World will have immense troubles with, because cPanel is a one single server based webspace hosting environment (each web hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being dealt with by one and the same server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel web page hosting suppliers are not able to add additional functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they must invent their own file platform), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared site hosting accounts, which are driven by an actual cloud webspace hosting platform. With a shared web page hosting account, each customer pays solely for his/her account, thus keeping the website hosting price very low (because multiple users are hosted on one and the same web server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting package, which runs on a cloud web site hosting system, enables you to pay just for the reserves that you really require, precluding a scenario where you pay for an advanced hosting account that you cannot really utilize, or for a basic hosting plan that cannot accommodate your website. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to commence with a basic plan and upgrade as your web page grows. So, you economize capital that you can expend on advertising the web site while it is still new. Each and every web site hosting package furnished by 'Lonex' comprises an online site building tool and over forty popular script-driven platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for web site design solutions. 'Lonex' provides shared site hosting packages in several different regions around the Globe. There is one data center facility in Chicago encompassing the US and Canada; 2 European data center facilities - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific region. Thus, nearly the whole Earth is encompassed to present you and your site's visitors with a steady and reliable website hosting solution at a nearby location. All in all, the shared hosting services furnished 'Lonex' are very well stocked and are available at a very attractive price (starting from $4.25 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To clients with little or no practice, a virtual web hosting server may appear problematic to administer. That's probably why 'Lonex' also keeps semi-dedicated web servers in its main US datacenter in Chicago. Managing these accounts is similar to managing a standard shared web page hosting account through a website hosting Control Panel tool. They have all the features of a shared site hosting package such as a free-of-cost site builder and a web application installer, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated hosting account is many times bigger than that of a shared website hosting package. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be used is nearly FIVE times as much as compared to the shared web space hosting plans. When matched against a shared web site hosting account, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is immense: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted TLD quota is a standard too. The semi-dedicated hosting plans do not arrive with complete server root access (we, at negidem.com, deem this a small minus), but the benefit is that they are managed via the very same site hosting CP interface as the shared hosting packages. This indicates that a known GUI is accessible by all customers who do not have enough self-condifence to administer a VPS hosting server, yet require more power and features than a virtual web hosting server can offer. This is like that due to the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the system resources of the same powerful first-rate servers as the ones which host the Virtual Private Server packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is quite low (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical machine), whereas the virtual private web 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 offered by 'Lonex' can be labeled as being very inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus package.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to negidem.com, huge sites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous web shops with 1000s of clients demand a much more powerful web hosting platform. It appears that the guys from 'Lonex' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To answer its clients' demands, 'Lonex' offers an assortment of dedicated web servers that can tackle millions of daily visits. That assessment stands on the hardware specs the hosting servers have: multi-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of disk storage and Gigabit network cards will definitely guarantee the quick and stable work of any kind of site. According to 'Lonex', the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding sites. We, from negidem.com, deem that all dedicated server plans supplied by 'Lonex' are also appropriate for initiating a hosting reseller business as each server provides free invoice transaction software and a free-of-charge domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated hosting servers provided by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at negidem.com, consider this a minor downside, which can be righted by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $30.00 USD. So, if you require support, the Managed Services upgrade includes a handful of supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A bouquet of webspace hosting Control Panel (CP) tools are available with each of the dedicated hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (negidem.com's) prediction is that the superb point-and-click File Manager available in the Hepsia Control Panel will possibly render the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol client futile. Our (negidem.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very low priced (yet the Hepsia Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain name quotas will definitely make you smile), beginning from $40.00 for the Optima 01 plan.
