An assessment of Lonex

We, at recognizethetruth.org, have chosen 'Lonex' to be our present domain and hosting distributor. This is why we imagine that this succinct evaluation of 'Lonex' is perchance going to be quite useful for other folks from all over the World in search for domain name and web hosting services. We say folks from all over the Globe, since the simple fact is that 'Lonex' presently offers domain and hosting services in several data center sites: in the US (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, encompassing virtually the entire Globe. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in a nutshell:

Shared Hosting Accounts

The first detail we, at recognizethetruth.org, have spotted is the low prices of the shared webspace hosting services delivered by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the website hosting accounts supplied by 'Lonex' are powered by a custom built, ultramodern cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, web space hosting CP, disk space, DNS, stats, etc., is being run on an autonomous host of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting firm in the World will have great troubles with, since cPanel is a single server based hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, webspace hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being tackled by a single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based webspace hosting firms cannot include additional functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they have to invent their own file platform), which is the prerequisite of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared website hosting plans, which are powered by an actual clustered website hosting system. With a shared website hosting plan, each customer pays solely for his/her package, thus keeping the price very low (since plenty of clients use one and the same hosting server). In short, a shared hosting package, which is hosted on a clustered web space hosting solution, enables you to pay just for the resources that you actually require, precluding a situation where you pay for a feature-rich web site hosting plan that you cannot really use, or for a small web hosting account that cannot host your web site. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with only 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to kick off with a low-end plan and upgrade as your web site expands. That way, you economize funds that you can expend on publicizing the web page while it is still brand new. Each webspace hosting package offered by 'Lonex' sports an online web site builder and more than 40 widely used script-driven platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web design services. 'Lonex' supplies shared web space hosting services in a number of different regions across the Globe. There is one server farm facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; two European datacenters - in Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific. In this way, virtually the whole planet is covered to supply you and your web page's visitors with a stable and fast hosting solution at a desired place. As a whole, the shared hosting plans supplied 'Lonex' are very well appointed and come at a very affordable price (starting from $4.25 for the Personal package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To people with little to no practice, a virtual private web hosting server may appear complicated to administer. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also keeps semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its principal United States server farm facility in Chicago. Managing these packages is comparable to handling a standard shared website hosting plan through a site hosting Control Panel GUI. They have all the specs of a shared web space hosting plan such as a free web site building tool and a web application installation tool, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated server hosting plan is many times larger than that of a shared hosting package. For example, the central processing unit power that can be used is about FIVE times as much as compared to the shared site hosting packages. When matched against a shared web site hosting package, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted TLD quota is a rule too. The semi-dedicated server web hosting plans do not come with full root access (we, at recognizethetruth.org, think that this is a slight problem), but the plus is that they are managed via the very same web space hosting Control Panel user interface as the shared packages. This suggests that a user-friendly GUI is offered to all clients who are not self-confident enough to administer a private virtual hosting server, but at the same time are in need of more power and features than a virtual private hosting server can give them. This is like that because the semi-dedicated servers share the resources of the same powerful top-class web servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS server hosting accounts, however, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is quite small (somewhere between twenty to 30 per server), while the virtual web servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' can be labeled as being very cheap (as far as price is concerned), beginning from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

In recognizethetruth.org's opinion, large websites such as social networks, community and business portals or famous web stores with 1000s of customers require a much more powerful web hosting platform. It appears that the chaps from 'Lonex' have reached the same conclusion too. To live up to its users' demands, 'Lonex' delivers a collection of dedicated servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That assessment is based on the hardware specs the web servers include: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, two thousand GB of disk space and Gigabit network cards will undoubtedly ensure the fast and steady work of any type of site. According to 'Lonex', the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding sites. We, from recognizethetruth.org, consider that all dedicated server configurations supplied by 'Lonex' are also suitable for initiating a hosting reseller business as every web server provides free-of-charge invoicing transaction software platform and a bonus domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated web servers offered by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at recognizethetruth.org, think that this is a slight inconvenience, which can be rectified by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $30.00 USD. So, if you require backing, the Managed Services upgrade provides an array of additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. An assortment of hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are available with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (recognizethetruth.org's) prediction is that the exceptional drag-and-drop File Manager available in the Hepsia website hosting CP will probably make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software futile. Our (recognizethetruth.org's) inference is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very modestly priced (still the Hepsia web hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain allowance will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $60.00 for the Xenia 01 plan.
