A survey of Lonex

We, at biobasedwash.com, have chosen 'Lonex' to be our present domain and web hosting provider. Therefore we consider that this short review of 'Lonex' is maybe going to be quite useful for other individuals from all over the World in need of domain name and web hosting solutions. We say individuals from all around the Globe, since the simple fact is that 'Lonex' presently delivers domain and hosting services in several datacenter facility sites: in the USA (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, encompassing almost the whole Globe. 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 Packages

The first detail we, at biobasedwash.com, have spotted is the budget prices of the shared website hosting plans supplied by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the web page hosting plans offered by 'Lonex' are driven by an in-house devised, leading edge cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, like email, databases, hosting CP, storage space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by an autonomous host of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting company on the Globe will have enormous predicaments with, since cPanel is a one-server based web page hosting environment (each web hosting service, like electronic mail, databases, web page hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being tackled by a single server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based site hosting corporations are not able to add new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they must construct their own file platform), which is at the bottom of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web page hosting plans, which are driven by an actual cloud web space hosting solution. With a shared website hosting account, each client pays solely for his/her package, thus preserving the site hosting price very low (since a lot of customers are hosted on one and the same server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting account, which is hosted on a clustered hosting system, permits you to pay only for the reserves that you really need, precluding a situation where you pay for a feature-rich hosting account that you cannot really utilize, or for a basic web space hosting plan that cannot host your web site. The ability to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just two clicks of the mouse grants you the flexibility to commence with a small plan and upgrade as your web page expands. In this way, you save funds that you can invest in promoting the web site while it is still new. Each hosting account offered by 'Lonex' comprises an online website building tool and more than forty widely used script software platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for site design services. 'Lonex' offers shared web space hosting solutions in several different regions around the Globe. There is one data center in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; two European data center facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific region. Thus, virtually the entire planet is encompassed to provide you and your website's visitors with a stable and reliable hosting solution at a convenient place. Altogether, the shared hosting services furnished 'Lonex' are very well furnished and are available at an affordable price (beginning from $4.25 for the Personal package).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To people with little or no experience, a virtual private hosting server may appear troublesome to handle. That's probably why 'Lonex' also stores semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its principal US server farm in Chicago. Administering these accounts is similar to administering a regular shared web page hosting plan via a web site hosting CP tool. They have all the features of a shared hosting account such as a free-of-charge website builder and a PHP script installer, but the system resource quota offered by a semi-dedicated server hosting account is many times larger than that of a shared web page hosting plan. For example, the CPU power that can be used is almost FIVE times as much as compared to the shared webspace hosting packages. When compared to a shared plan, the quota of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted Top-Level Domain allowance is a pattern as well. The semi-dedicated web server plans do not include root-level access (we, at biobasedwash.com, count this as a small weak point), but the good point is that they are administered through the same hosting CP interface as the shared hosting plans. This hints that a familiar graphical interface is available to all clients who are not confident enough to handle a VPS, yet need more power and reserves than a private virtual web server can bestow on them. This is so because of the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the resources of the same powerful ultramodern web hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual server web hosting packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to 30 per server), while the Virtual Private Servers can reach a much greater number (80 to 120 per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' can be categorized as being amazingly affordable (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In biobasedwash.com's opinion, huge websites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or famous web shops with thousands of customers require a much more powerful site hosting environment. It seems that the guys from 'Lonex' have reached the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its users' needs, 'Lonex' provides an assortment of dedicated hosting servers that can tackle millions of daily visits. That assessment stands on the hardware specs the web hosting servers include: multi-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of data storage and Gigabit network interface cards will doubtlessly guarantee the quick and steady performance of any kind of web site. In 'Lonex's opinion, the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-requiring sites. We, from biobasedwash.com, think that all dedicated server plans offered by 'Lonex' are also appropriate for initiating a hosting reseller business as each server comes with free-of-cost invoicing transaction software and a free-of-charge domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web hosting servers offered by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at biobasedwash.com, think of this as a minor negative point, which can be righted by paying a monthly tax of $30.00 USD. So, if you demand assistance, the Managed Services upgrade provides a bunch of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated web server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. Several hosting CP (CP) user interfaces are available with each of the dedicated servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (biobasedwash.com's) forecast is that the superb point-and-click File Manager available in the Hepsia webspace hosting Control Panel will perhaps render the use of any FTP software program useless. Our (biobasedwash.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very modestly priced (still the Hepsia site hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain name allowance will no doubt make you smile), starting from $40.00 for the Optima 01 plan.
