An assessment of Lonex

We, at emediationhub.org, have picked 'Lonex' to be our current domain and web hosting distributor. This is why we believe that this brief review of 'Lonex' is perhaps going to be quite useful for other people from all around the World who are looking for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all around the Globe, because the simple fact is that 'Lonex' presently distributes domain and hosting services in several data center facility locations: in the US (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, embracing virtually the entire World. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Lonex' in short:

Shared Web Site Hosting Solutions

The initial thing we, at emediationhub.org, have noted is the low-cost prices of the shared web space hosting solutions supplied by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the hosting packages provided by 'Lonex' are powered by a custom created, avant-garde cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, etc., is being handled by an autonomous host of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting firm in the World will have enormous difficulties with, since cPanel is a single server based web space hosting platform (each hosting service, like email, databases, Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being tackled by one and the same hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel webspace hosting firms cannot add extra functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they need to create their own file platform), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared web site hosting plans, which are driven by an authentic cloud website hosting system. With a shared webspace hosting package, each client pays only for his/her plan, thus maintaining the web space hosting price very low (since many clients use the same web server). In a few words, a shared hosting account, which runs on a cloud hosting solution, permits you to pay only for the resources that you really require, escaping a scenario where you pay for a high-end site hosting package that you cannot truly utilize, or for a basic web hosting account that cannot host your web site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with just 2 mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to commence with a small package and upgrade as your website grows. In this way, you spare money that you can invest in promoting the web page while it is still brand new. Each and every website hosting account furnished by 'Lonex' sports an online web site builder and over 40 widely used script-driven platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web page design services. 'Lonex' provides shared web space hosting plans in a number of different countries across the World. There is one data center in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; two European server farms - in England and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. That way, nearly the whole Earth is covered to present you and your website's visitors with a steady and fast site hosting solution at a preferred location. On the whole, the shared hosting packages furnished 'Lonex' are really well equipped and are available at a cut-rate price (starting from $4.25 for the Personal package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To clients with little to no experience, a VPS web hosting server may seem difficult to handle. That's probably why 'Lonex' also houses semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main United States datacenter in Chicago. Managing these packages is similar to handling a typical shared website hosting account through a web page hosting CP tool. They have all the features of a shared site hosting package such as a free-of-charge web site builder and a web application installation tool, but the system resource quota provided by a semi-dedicated server hosting account is many times bigger than that of a shared account. For instance, the CPU power that can be used is almost 5 times as much as compared with the shared website hosting plans. When compared with a shared web site hosting account, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted top-level domain name allowance is a norm as well. The semi-dedicated hosting plans do not come with full root privileges (we, at emediationhub.org, count this as a tiny minus), but the benefit is that they are administered through the same webspace hosting CP interface as the shared web hosting packages. This hints that a recognizable graphical environment is available to all customers who do not feel self-confident enough to handle a VPS, but at the same time demand more power and reserves than a private virtual server can provide them with. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the resources of the same powerful avant-garde servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS server web hosting packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is quite low (somewhere between twenty to 30 per server), whereas the VPS hosting servers can reach a much bigger number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' can be dubbed as being very cheap (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus plan.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

According to emediationhub.org, large web pages such as social networks, community and business portals or famous web storefronts with 1000s of clients demand a much more powerful website hosting solution. It seems that the folks from 'Lonex' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To answer its clients' requirements, 'Lonex' supplies a selection of dedicated web hosting servers that can handle millions of daily hits. That estimate rests on the hardware specifications the dedicated hosting servers have: many-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of disk storage and Gigabit NICs will doubtlessly guarantee the fast and steady performance of any sort of site. According to 'Lonex', the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-requiring websites. We, from emediationhub.org, believe that all dedicated server specifications delivered by 'Lonex' are also appropriate for initiating a hosting reseller business as every dedicated server provides free-of-cost invoicing software platform and a free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated web servers provided by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at emediationhub.org, think of this as a little drawback, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $30.00 USD. So, if you require aid, the Managed Services upgrade includes a handful of additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated web hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. An array of web space hosting CP (CP) tools are available with each of the hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (emediationhub.org's) prediction is that the exceptional point-and-click File Manager available in the Hepsia web site hosting CP will possibly render the recourse to any FTP client pointless. Our (emediationhub.org's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very modestly priced (still the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will undoubtedly make you smile), commencing from $95.00 for the Xenia 01 package.
