An assessment of Lonex

We, at earthfriendlywash.com, have selected 'Lonex' to be our present domain and web hosting distributor. Hence we consider that this succinct assessment of 'Lonex' is perhaps going to be quite useful for other people from all over the Globe who seek domain name and web hosting solutions. We state people from all around the Globe, because the simple truth is that 'Lonex' currently supplies domain and hosting services in multiple server farm locations: in the US (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing virtually the entire Earth. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Lonex' in brief:

Shared Web Site Hosting Packages

The first thing we, at earthfriendlywash.com, have noticed is the affordable prices of the shared web page hosting accounts offered 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 hosting packages offered by 'Lonex' are driven by a custom invented, futuristic cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, like email, databases, hosting CP, data storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being served by an autonomous set of servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting company on the Globe will have immense difficulties with, since cPanel is a single server based web hosting platform (each hosting service, like email, databases, site hosting CP, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being tackled by one single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based site hosting providers cannot include additional functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they must make their own file platform), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared site hosting accounts, which are powered by a real cloud site hosting system. With a shared web page hosting account, each customer pays solely for his/her package, thus maintaining the web hosting price very low (since lots of users share one and the same web hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting plan, which is hosted on a clustered webspace hosting platform, permits you to pay only for the resources that you really demand, evading a scenario where you pay for a high-end webspace hosting account that you cannot truly use, or for a basic website hosting package that cannot handle your web site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 clicks gives you the flexibility to begin with a low-end plan and upgrade as your online presence grows. In this way, you economize funds that you can invest in advertising the site while it is still new. Each and every site hosting plan delivered by 'Lonex' contains an online web site building tool and over forty widely used script platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you 100s of dollars for web site design services. 'Lonex' distributes shared web space hosting plans in a number of different countries around the World. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; two European datacenters - in the United Kingdom and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific region. Hence, almost the whole Globe is encompassed to provide you and your visitors with a steady and dependable web hosting service at a nearby location. All in all, the shared hosting plans offered 'Lonex' are very well stocked and are available at a cut-rate price (starting from $4.25 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To people with little or no experience, a Virtual Private Server may appear complicated to manage. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also stores semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal North American server farm in Chicago. Managing these accounts is similar to managing a standard shared site hosting account via a web page hosting Control Panel tool. They have all the functionalities of a shared plan such as a free-of-cost website building tool and a PHP script installer, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated web hosting server plan is many times greater than that of a shared web hosting package. For example, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is approximately 5 times as much as compared with the shared webspace hosting plans. When compared to a shared web space hosting package, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is great: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted domain name allowance is a trend as well. The semi-dedicated accounts do not include full root access (we, at earthfriendlywash.com, think that this is a minor defect), but the advantage is that they are managed through the very same web space hosting CP GUI as the shared webspace hosting packages. This implies that a well-known graphical interface is offered to all clients who do not feel confident enough to handle a private virtual hosting server, yet require more power and features than a virtual web server can give them. This is like that owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the resources of the very same powerful hyper-advanced servers as the ones which host the virtual private web server hosting plans, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very small (somewhere between twenty to 30 per physical server), while the Virtual Private Servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to 120 per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'Lonex' can be branded as being amazingly inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), beginning from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus package.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

In earthfriendlywash.com's opinion, enormous web sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or famous online shops with thousands of clients request a much more powerful web space hosting platform. It seems that the folks from 'Lonex' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To live up to its users' anticipations, 'Lonex' provides a collection of dedicated hosting servers that can tackle millions of daily hits. That estimate rests on the hardware configurations the servers include: multi-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, 2000 GB of disk storage and Gigabit NICs will undoubtedly ensure the quick and stable work of any kind of web site. According to 'Lonex', the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring websites. We, from earthfriendlywash.com, believe that all dedicated server specs supplied by 'Lonex' are also suitable for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as every hosting server comes with free-of-charge billing software platform and a bonus domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web servers offered by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at earthfriendlywash.com, think of this as a small inconvenience, which can be righted by paying a monthly fee of $30.00 USD. So, if you are in need of backing, the Managed Services upgrade provides several additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. An assortment of hosting Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are offered with each of the dedicated servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (earthfriendlywash.com's) prediction is that the remarkable drag and drop File Manager available in the Hepsia hosting CP will perhaps make the utilization of any FTP software program futile. Our (earthfriendlywash.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Lonex' don't appear to be very affordably priced (yet the Hepsia webspace hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name quotas will no doubt make you smile), beginning from $40.00 for the Optima 01 plan.
