A survey of Lonex

We, at crosswordmovie.com, have selected 'Lonex' to be our current domain name and web hosting supplier. Hence we deem that this short evaluation of 'Lonex' is perchance going to be quite useful for other folks from all around the World in need of domain name and web hosting services. We state people from all around the Globe, since the mere truth is that 'Lonex' currently provides domain and hosting services in several server farm facility sites: in North America (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing almost the entire World. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Lonex' in a few words:

Shared Web Space Hosting Solutions

The initial thing we, at crosswordmovie.com, have noticed is the reasonable prices of the shared webspace hosting accounts supplied 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 web space hosting accounts offered by 'Lonex' are driven by a custom invented, ultramodern cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as email, databases, web site hosting CP, web space, DNS, stats, etc., is being dealt with by an independent group of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting corporation on the Earth will have considerable problems with, because cPanel is a single server based web space hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web page hosting CP, disk space, DNS, stats, etc., is being dealt with by one single server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based web hosting companies cannot add additional functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they must invent their own file system), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared web hosting packages, which are driven by an actual clustered web site hosting solution. With a shared web hosting account, each client pays only for his/her package, thus keeping the price really low (since a lot of users share the same hosting server). In short, a shared hosting account, which runs on a clustered web hosting platform, enables you to pay just for the resources that you indeed need, evading a situation where you pay for a high-end web page hosting plan that you cannot actually utilize, or for a low-end web site hosting account that cannot shelter your website. The ability to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just two mouse clicks grants you the flexibility to begin with a tiny plan and upgrade as your web presence grows. Thus, you economize capital that you can expend on advertising the web page while it is still new. Each site hosting package offered by 'Lonex' ships with an online web site building tool and over forty widely used script-driven software platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for web design services. 'Lonex' offers shared site hosting accounts in several different countries around the Globe. There is one server farm in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; 2 European server farm facilities - in Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. That way, nearly the entire planet is encompassed to provide you and your site's visitors with a stable and dependable webspace hosting solution at a preferred place. Altogether, the shared hosting packages supplied 'Lonex' are quite well furnished and come at an excellent price (starting from $4.25 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To clients with little to no experience, a virtual hosting server may appear tough to handle. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also keeps semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal US data center facility in Chicago. Administering these packages is comparable to handling a normal shared website hosting plan through a site hosting Control Panel user interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared webspace hosting account such as a free-of-cost web site building tool and a web application installation tool, but the system resource quota typical of a semi-dedicated server package is many times greater than that of a shared site hosting plan. For example, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is almost FIVE times as much as compared with the shared plans. When compared with a shared hosting account, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted TLD quota is a norm too. The semi-dedicated web server accounts do not ship with full root access (we, at crosswordmovie.com, deem this a small defect), but the benefit is that they are managed through the same webspace hosting CP interface as the shared webspace hosting plans. This suggests that a recognizable GUI is offered to all users who are not confident enough to manage a VPS, but at the same time are in need of more power and system resources than a private virtual hosting server can confer to them. This is so due to the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the resources of the same powerful avant-garde web servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual private web hosting server packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical machine), while the virtual web servers can reach a much greater number (80 to 120 per server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' can be branded as being very cheap (as far as price is concerned), starting from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

In crosswordmovie.com's opinion, huge websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous web stores with thousands of clients need a much more powerful webspace hosting solution. It appears that the blokes from 'Lonex' have come to the same conclusion as well. To satisfy its customers' needs, 'Lonex' provides a collection of dedicated web servers that can tackle millions of daily hits. That assessment rests on the hardware specs the hosting servers include: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, two thousand GB of web space and Gigabit NICs will undoubtedly ensure the quick and stable performance of any kind of website. In 'Lonex's opinion, the primary hardware specs can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding websites. We, from crosswordmovie.com, believe that all dedicated server specifications furnished by 'Lonex' are also suitable for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as each dedicated web hosting server provides free invoicing software platform and a free-of-charge domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web servers provided by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at crosswordmovie.com, regard this as a slight disadvantage, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly fee of $30.00 USD. So, if you demand backing, the Managed Services upgrade includes a number of extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. Several web page hosting CP (CP) interfaces are offered with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (crosswordmovie.com's) prediction is that the exceptional drag-and-drop File Manager included in the Hepsia site hosting Control Panel will possibly render the recourse to any FTP software useless. Our (crosswordmovie.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Lonex' don't appear to be very cheap (still the Hepsia hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $95.00 for the Xenia 01 plan.
