An evaluation of Lonex

We, at wedemandtruth.net, have picked 'Lonex' to be our current domain name and hosting provider. Therefore we anticipate that this concise evaluation of 'Lonex' is perchance going to be quite useful for other folks from all over the Globe who are looking for domain name and web hosting services. We state individuals from all over the Globe, because the mere truth is that 'Lonex' presently offers domain and hosting services in multiple server farm locations: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, encompassing practically the entire planet. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could expect from 'Lonex' in brief:

Shared Website Hosting Services

The first thing we, at wedemandtruth.net, have detected is the low-cost prices of the shared hosting packages 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 thing here is that the web space hosting packages offered by 'Lonex' are driven by an in-house created, advanced cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as email, databases, website hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, stats, etc., is being dealt with by a separate stack of servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting distributor in the World will have huge troubles with, because cPanel is a one single server based website hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, web page hosting Control Panel, web space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being run on one single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based webspace hosting distributors cannot add new functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to invent their own file platform), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared web site hosting accounts, which are driven by an authentic clustered site hosting solution. With a shared web space hosting package, each customer pays only for his/her package, thus preserving the price amazingly low (because lots of users share the same web server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting plan, which is hosted on a cloud web site hosting system, enables you to pay only for the resources that you indeed require, avoiding a scenario where you pay for a high-end webspace hosting package that you cannot truly use, or for a tiny web hosting package that cannot handle your web page. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just two mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to kick off with a low-end plan and upgrade as your web page expands. Thus, you save funds that you can spend on publicizing the web page while it is still brand new. Every hosting plan offered by 'Lonex' ships with an online site builder and over forty widely used script platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for website design solutions. 'Lonex' delivers shared hosting solutions in several different countries across the World. There is one datacenter in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; 2 European server farm facilities - in Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific region. That way, nearly the entire Globe is encompassed to supply you and your web page's visitors with a steady and fast web space hosting service at a nearby place. Altogether, the shared hosting plans furnished 'Lonex' are very well appointed and are available at a good price (beginning from $3.95 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To people with little to no experience, a virtual web hosting server may appear hard to administer. That's probably why 'Lonex' also stores semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main United States server farm in Chicago. Handling these packages is comparable to managing a conventional shared web page hosting account through a hosting Control Panel GUI. They have all the functionalities of a shared web hosting package such as a free site building tool and a web application installation tool, but the system resource quota offered by a semi-dedicated web server account is many times larger than that of a shared web hosting package. For example, the CPU power that can be utilized is nearly FIVE times as much as compared to the shared web hosting plans. When compared with a shared package, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted Top-Level Domain allowance is a norm as well. The semi-dedicated web hosting plans do not come with full root privileges (we, at wedemandtruth.net, think that this is a slight minus), but the good point is that they are administered through the same web page hosting Control Panel GUI as the shared packages. This indicates that a well-known graphical user interface is available to all clients who do not have enough confidence to manage a private virtual hosting server, yet need more power and supplies than a virtual private web server can give them. This is so because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the resources of the very same powerful leading edge hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the private virtual server hosting accounts, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is quite small (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical server), whereas the virtual hosting servers can reach a much higher number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Lonex' can be branded as being quite affordable (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus plan.

Dedicated Servers

In wedemandtruth.net's opinion, enormous sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular online stores with 1000s of clients call for a much more powerful website hosting platform. It seems that the fellows from 'Lonex' have reached the same conclusion too. To answer its clients' anticipations, 'Lonex' provides a number of dedicated web hosting servers that can handle millions of daily visits. That evaluation is based on the hardware specs the web hosting servers come with: many-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of web space and Gigabit network cards will undoubtedly ensure the quick and stable work of any kind of website. In 'Lonex's opinion, the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-demanding sites. We, from wedemandtruth.net, believe that all dedicated server plans provided by 'Lonex' are also appropriate for initiating a hosting reseller business as each and every web server provides free invoice transaction software platform and a fee-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated hosting servers provided by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at wedemandtruth.net, think of this as a small defect, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee of $30.00 USD. So, if you are in need of assistance, the Managed Services upgrade provides a number of extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A bunch of web hosting Control Panel (CP) tools are available with each of the dedicated hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (wedemandtruth.net's) prediction is that the great drag and drop File Manager available in the Hepsia CP will perhaps make the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol client futile. Our (wedemandtruth.net's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'Lonex' don't appear to be very affordably priced (yet the Hepsia hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name quotas will doubtlessly make you smile), beginning from $40.00 for the Optima 01 package.
