A review of Lonex

We, at scnaples.com, have picked 'Lonex' to be our present domain and web hosting supplier. Therefore we imagine that this succinct assessment of 'Lonex' is perchance going to be very helpful for other people from all over the Globe who are looking for domain name and web hosting services. We state folks from all over the Globe, because the simple fact is that 'Lonex' currently distributes domain and hosting services in numerous server farm facility locations: in the US (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, covering practically the entire Globe. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in a few words:

Shared Webspace Hosting Services

The initial thing we, at scnaples.com, have detected is the budget prices of the shared site hosting services provided by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the webspace hosting accounts furnished by 'Lonex' are driven by an in-house created, avant-garde cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web hosting CP, data storage, DNS, stats, and so on, runs on a separate pack of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting company on the Earth will have great complications with, because cPanel is a one-server based web page hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, webspace hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being served by one single server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based web site hosting vendors cannot add new functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they must devise their own file system), which is the basis of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web space hosting packages, which are driven by an authentic clustered web page hosting system. With a shared website hosting plan, each customer pays just for his/her plan, thus preserving the web space hosting price very low (because multiple clients are located on the same server). In a few words, a shared hosting account, which runs on a cloud web page hosting solution, allows you to pay just for the resources that you actually require, escaping a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich webspace hosting package that you cannot really use, or for a tiny webspace hosting account that cannot host your web site. The option to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only two clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to start with a basic package and upgrade as your web presence expands. In this way, you save money that you can invest in publicizing the web site while it is still novel. Every webspace hosting package furnished by 'Lonex' ships with an online web site building tool and more than forty widely used script software platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for site design services. 'Lonex' delivers shared web hosting plans in several different geographical regions around the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago covering the US and Canada; 2 European server farms - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific region. In this way, practically the entire Globe is covered to supply you and your website's visitors with a stable and fast web site hosting solution at a convenient location. Altogether, the shared hosting solutions delivered 'Lonex' are quite well stocked and come at a budget price (beginning from $4.25 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To people with little or no experience, a VPS server may appear tough to manage. That's probably why 'Lonex' also offers semi-dedicated servers in its main North American data center in Chicago. Handling these accounts is comparable to administering a conventional shared hosting package via a webspace hosting CP GUI. They have all the functionalities of a shared web hosting account such as a free-of-cost website building tool and a web application installer, but the system resource quota provided by a semi-dedicated server account is many times bigger than that of a shared webspace hosting plan. For example, the CPU power that can be used is almost FIVE times as much as compared to the shared accounts. When compared with a shared package, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain quota is a pattern too. The semi-dedicated hosting server accounts do not arrive with full root access (we, at scnaples.com, regard this as a minor weak point), but the good point is that they are managed through the same site hosting CP GUI as the shared web space hosting accounts. This means that a familiar graphical environment is available to all clients who are not confident enough to manage a virtual web server, yet need more power and features than a virtual hosting server can supply them with. This is so because the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the resources of the very same powerful leading edge hosting servers as the ones which host the Virtual Private Server accounts, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical server), whereas the VPS web hosting servers can reach a much higher number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' can be defined as being amazingly affordable (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus plan.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to scnaples.com, huge websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous online storefronts with 1000s of clients request a much more powerful web hosting platform. It appears that the fellows from 'Lonex' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To answer its clients' anticipations, 'Lonex' supplies a collection of dedicated web servers that can cope with millions of daily visits. That assessment is based on the hardware specifications the dedicated web hosting servers are offering: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of disk space and Gigabit network interface cards will beyond doubt guarantee the quick and steady work of any type of website. According to 'Lonex', the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding sites. We, from scnaples.com, consider that all dedicated server solutions provided by 'Lonex' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as every dedicated web server offers free-of-cost invoicing software platform and a free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at scnaples.com, consider this a tiny drawback, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $30.00 USD. So, if you are in need of aid, the Managed Services upgrade provides a handful of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. A handful of web site hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are available with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (scnaples.com's) prediction is that the amazing drag-and-drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel will perhaps make the use of any FTP client useless. Our (scnaples.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'Lonex' don't appear to be very cheap (still the Hepsia web hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name quotas will undoubtedly make you smile), beginning from $60.00 for the Xenia 01 package.
