An assessment of Lonex

We, at partnerupplace.com, have selected 'Lonex' to be our present domain and hosting provider. Hence we deem that this concise evaluation of 'Lonex' is perchance going to be very helpful for other people from all around the World in search for domain name and web hosting solutions. We state people from all over the Globe, because the mere fact is that 'Lonex' presently furnishes domain and hosting services in several server farm sites: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, encompassing practically the whole Earth. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could expect from 'Lonex' in short:

Shared Web Page Hosting Services

The first detail we, at partnerupplace.com, have seen is the low-cost prices of the shared web page hosting plans furnished by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the web site hosting plans provided by 'Lonex' are powered by a custom invented, leading edge cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as email, databases, webspace hosting CP, web space, DNS, statistics, and so on, runs on a different set of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting provider in the World will have big predicaments with, since cPanel is a single server based site hosting platform (each web hosting service, like mail, databases, website hosting Control Panel, disk storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being handled by a single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel web space hosting companies cannot include extra functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to design their own file platform), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared webspace hosting packages, which are powered by an authentic clustered web site hosting solution. With a shared site hosting package, each customer pays only for his/her plan, thus retaining the web hosting price very low (because numerous users utilize one and the same web hosting server). In brief, a shared hosting package, which is being served by a cloud web site hosting platform, permits you to pay solely for the resources that you actually need, refraining from a scenario where you pay for a powerful website hosting plan that you cannot really utilize, or for a tiny website hosting plan that cannot host your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 clicks grants you the flexibility to begin with a small package and upgrade as your web page grows. That way, you spare money that you can expend on advertising the website while it is still novel. Every website hosting plan delivered by 'Lonex' includes an online site builder and more than forty popular script-driven software applications such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for site design solutions. 'Lonex' offers shared website hosting solutions in several different geographical regions across the World. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; 2 European server farm facilities - in the UK and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific region. That way, approximately the entire planet is covered to supply you and your web site's visitors with a stable and fast hosting solution at a desired location. As a whole, the shared hosting packages provided 'Lonex' are very well stocked and come at a very cheap price (beginning from $4.25 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To users with little to no experience, a virtual private web hosting server may seem difficult to manage. That's probably why 'Lonex' also hosts semi-dedicated web servers in its principal North American server farm in Chicago. Administering these plans is similar to administering a normal shared web space hosting package through a Control Panel interface. They have all the specs of a shared web space hosting account such as a free site builder and a script installation tool, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated web server hosting package is many times larger than that of a shared web space hosting plan. For example, the central processing unit power that can be used is about 5 times as much as compared with the shared web hosting packages. When compared to a shared account, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is big: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted top-level domain name allowance is a principle too. The semi-dedicated server packages do not come with root access (we, at partnerupplace.com, deem this a little disadvantage), but the benefit is that they are managed via the very same hosting CP interface as the shared web page hosting accounts. This indicates that a well-known graphical environment is offered to all customers who do not have enough self-condifence to handle a VPS, yet require more power and system resources than a private virtual server can confer to them. This is so because the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the reserves of the same powerful hyper-advanced servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual web server hosting packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical machine), while the VPS web hosting servers can reach a much bigger number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' can be classified as being quite cheap (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In partnerupplace.com's opinion, enormous web sites such as social networks, community and business web portals or famous web shops with thousands of clients request a much more powerful webspace hosting solution. It seems that the blokes from 'Lonex' have drawn the same conclusion too. To answer its users' demands, 'Lonex' delivers an assortment of dedicated servers that can tackle millions of daily hits. That evaluation stands on the hardware configurations the hosting servers boast: multi-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of web space and Gigabit network cards will undoubtedly guarantee the quick and steady performance of any kind of site. In 'Lonex's opinion, the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-requiring sites. We, from partnerupplace.com, think that all dedicated server packages delivered by 'Lonex' are also appropriate for initiating a hosting reseller business as each dedicated hosting server offers free-of-cost invoice transaction software and a charge-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web hosting servers delivered by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at partnerupplace.com, think that this is a little defect, which can be corrected by paying a monthly fee of $30.00 USD. So, if you need aid, the Managed Services upgrade includes several supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. A bouquet of web site hosting CP (CP) interfaces are offered with each of the web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (partnerupplace.com's) prediction is that the superb drag-and-drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia hosting CP will perhaps render the use of any File Transfer Protocol software useless. Our (partnerupplace.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' don't appear to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain name quotas will undoubtedly make you smile), starting from $60.00 for the Xenia 01 package.
