A survey of Lonex

We, at ukrainian.estate, have selected 'Lonex' to be our present domain name and web hosting provider. Hence we think that this succinct evaluation of 'Lonex' is perhaps going to be quite useful for other folks from all around the Globe who need domain name and web hosting solutions. We say individuals from all over the World, since the mere fact is that 'Lonex' presently provides domain and hosting services in multiple data center facility locations: in North America (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, embracing approximately the entire planet. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in a few words:

Shared Web Space Hosting Solutions

The first thing we, at ukrainian.estate, have noted is the low prices of the shared web hosting services furnished by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the web page hosting plans provided by 'Lonex' are powered by a custom invented, avant-garde cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, like email, databases, hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being dealt with by an individual host of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting corporation in the World will have immense difficulties with, because cPanel is a single server based webspace hosting environment (each web hosting service, like email, databases, website hosting CP, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on one and the same web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based web site hosting firms are unable to include extra functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they need to develop their own file system), which is the prerequisite of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web space hosting accounts, which are powered by an authentic cloud site hosting system. With a shared hosting account, each client pays only for his/her account, thus preserving the price really low (because multiple clients utilize the same server). In short, a shared hosting plan, which is being served by a clustered web hosting solution, enables you to pay just for the reserves that you really demand, escaping a scenario where you pay for an advanced web space hosting plan that you cannot truly use, or for a tiny web site hosting package that cannot accommodate your site. The ability to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only two clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to begin with a small package and upgrade as your online presence expands. That way, you save capital that you can expend on publicizing the website while it is still new. Every site hosting package furnished by 'Lonex' sports an online web site building tool and over forty popular script software applications including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for website design solutions. 'Lonex' distributes shared web hosting solutions in a number of different countries across the World. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. That way, virtually the whole planet is covered to provide you and your web site's visitors with a stable and reliable web page hosting solution at a preferred place. All in all, the shared hosting accounts offered 'Lonex' are quite well equipped and are available at an affordable price (starting from $4.25 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To clients with little or no practice, a virtual hosting server may appear hard to handle. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also stores semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal US datacenter in Chicago. Managing these packages is comparable to managing a regular shared web page hosting account via a website hosting CP GUI. They have all the functionalities of a shared web hosting plan such as a fee-free web site building tool and a script 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 nearly 5 times as much as compared to the shared webspace hosting accounts. When juxtaposed to a shared plan, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is big: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain allowance is a trend as well. The semi-dedicated web server plans do not arrive with root-level access (we, at ukrainian.estate, regard this as a small minus), but the benefit is that they are managed via the very same website hosting Control Panel GUI as the shared web hosting packages. This means that a known graphical interface is accessible by all clients who do not have enough confidence to administer a private virtual hosting server, but at the same time require more power and resources than a VPS web server can confer to them. This is so because the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the resources of the very same powerful leading edge web servers as the ones which host the virtual hosting server packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very small (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical machine), whereas the Virtual Private Servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to 120 per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' can be categorized as being very affordable (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

In ukrainian.estate's opinion, huge sites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular online storefronts with thousands of customers demand a much more powerful hosting platform. It appears that the guys from 'Lonex' have come to the same conclusion too. To satisfy its clients' expectations, 'Lonex' supplies a bouquet of dedicated servers that can handle millions of daily hits. That evaluation is based on the hardware specifications the hosting servers include: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand GB of data storage and Gigabit network interface cards will undoubtedly guarantee the quick and steady work of any kind of web site. In 'Lonex's opinion, the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring web sites. We, from ukrainian.estate, believe that all dedicated server plans provided by 'Lonex' are also suitable for initiating a hosting reseller business as every dedicated hosting server arrives with free billing software and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated hosting servers offered by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at ukrainian.estate, deem this a minor negative point, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee of $30.00 USD. So, if you require support, the Managed Services upgrade provides a handful of extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated web server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. A number of website hosting Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are available with each of the web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (ukrainian.estate's) forecast is that the remarkable point and click File Manager available in the Hepsia web space hosting CP will perhaps make the utilization of any FTP software pointless. Our (ukrainian.estate's) inference is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very cheap (still the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name allowance will no doubt make you smile), commencing from $40.00 for the Optima 01 package.
