A review of Lonex

We, at dobryaha.com, have selected 'Lonex' to be our present domain and hosting provider. This is why we suppose that this concise assessment of 'Lonex' is maybe going to be quite helpful for other individuals from all around the Globe who are looking for domain name and web hosting services. We state individuals from all around the World, because the mere fact is that 'Lonex' presently distributes domain and hosting services in numerous server farm facility sites: in the United States (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, encompassing approximately the whole planet. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in brief:

Shared Web Hosting Plans

The initial thing we, at dobryaha.com, have seen is the cut-rate prices of the shared web space hosting solutions offered by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the web site hosting accounts provided by 'Lonex' are driven by a custom devised, avant-garde cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, site hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, stats, etc., is being dealt with by a different host of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting distributor on the Globe will have huge complications with, since cPanel is a single server based web space hosting platform (each hosting service, such as email, databases, webspace hosting CP, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on a single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based hosting firms are unable to include additional functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they need to devise their own file system), which is the basis of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared webspace hosting packages, which are driven by a genuine clustered web space hosting solution. With a shared web space hosting plan, each client pays solely for his/her plan, thus retaining the web space hosting price very low (since many customers share the same web hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting account, which runs on a cloud website hosting solution, permits you to pay just for the reserves that you actually need, evading a situation where you pay for a feature-rich hosting package that you cannot actually use, or for a small web site hosting package that cannot accommodate your web site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only 2 clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to kick off with a small package and upgrade as your web page expands. Hence, you economize money that you can expend on advertising the site while it is still novel. Every webspace hosting account delivered by 'Lonex' contains an online site building tool and more than forty popular script-driven platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web design services. 'Lonex' offers shared webspace hosting services in several different countries across the World. There is one server farm facility in Chicago covering the USA and Canada; two European datacenter facilities - in Great Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. Thus, almost the whole Globe is covered to supply you and your visitors with a steady and dependable web site hosting service at a desired place. All in all, the shared hosting solutions supplied 'Lonex' are really well stocked and come at a very inexpensive price (starting from $4.25 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To people with little or no experience, a virtual private hosting server may seem problematic to manage. That's probably why 'Lonex' also hosts semi-dedicated web servers in its principal US server farm facility in Chicago. Handling these packages is comparable to managing a standard shared web hosting package via a web space hosting CP GUI. They have all the features of a shared package such as a free-of-charge site builder and a PHP script installer, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated web hosting server package is many times larger than that of a shared web space hosting account. For example, the CPU power that can be utilized is approximately FIVE times as much as compared with the shared accounts. When juxtaposed to a shared website hosting package, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is great: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted TLD allowance is a norm too. The semi-dedicated server hosting accounts do not offer complete root access (we, at dobryaha.com, count this as a slight defect), but the advantage is that they are managed through the very same web space hosting CP interface as the shared webspace hosting plans. This signifies that a user-friendly graphical environment is accessible by all clients who do not feel confident enough to administer a Virtual Private Server, but at the same time demand more power and resources than a Virtual Private Server can bestow on them. This is so because the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the reserves of the same powerful avant-garde web servers as the ones which host the private virtual hosting server packages, still, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical machine), whereas the virtual private web servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Lonex' can be categorized as being very cheap (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

In dobryaha.com's opinion, huge websites such as social networks, community and business web portals or famous web shops with 1000s of customers call for a much more powerful web space hosting platform. It appears that the blokes from 'Lonex' have reached the same conclusion as well. To live up to its users' needs, 'Lonex' provides a number of dedicated web servers that can cope with millions of daily visits. That evaluation stands on the hardware configurations the dedicated web servers have: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of data storage and Gigabit network cards will no doubt guarantee the quick and steady work of any type of site. In 'Lonex's opinion, the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding web sites. We, from dobryaha.com, deem that all dedicated server specs delivered by 'Lonex' are also suitable for commencing a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated web hosting server comes with free-of-cost billing transaction software platform and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated servers furnished by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at dobryaha.com, deem this a little weakness, which can be amended by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $30.00 USD. So, if you demand support, the Managed Services upgrade provides a number of extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. An assortment of website hosting CP (CP) tools are offered with each of the hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (dobryaha.com's) prognosis is that the remarkable drag-and-drop File Manager available in the Hepsia web space hosting CP will perhaps make the use of any FTP software futile. Our (dobryaha.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very modestly priced (yet the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will beyond doubt make you smile), beginning from $95.00 for the Xenia 01 plan.
