A survey of Lonex

We, at nearestexit.com, have picked 'Lonex' to be our present domain name and web hosting vendor. Hence we anticipate that this concise evaluation of 'Lonex' is probably going to be quite useful for other folks from all around the Globe who need domain name and web hosting services. We say folks from all over the World, because the simple fact is that 'Lonex' currently offers domain and hosting services in numerous server farm locations: in America (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, covering nearly the whole planet. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in a few words:

Shared Hosting Packages

The initial detail we, at nearestexit.com, have observed is the low prices of the shared web page hosting services provided 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 hosting plans provided by 'Lonex' are driven by an in-house devised, leading edge cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being served by a separate stack of servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance EVERY cPanel web hosting corporation in the World will have big troubles with, since cPanel is a single server based web space hosting environment (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web space hosting CP, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on one and the same server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel web hosting companies are unable to include extra functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they have to invent their own file platform), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared site hosting packages, which are driven by a genuine clustered web page hosting system. With a shared site hosting plan, each client pays only for his/her package, thus keeping the web hosting price very low (because a lot of users are hosted on one and the same web hosting server). In short, a shared hosting package, which is hosted on a clustered website hosting solution, enables you to pay solely for the resources that you really demand, precluding a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich hosting plan that you cannot really use, or for a tiny site hosting plan that cannot handle your website. The option to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to begin with a low-end package and upgrade as your web site grows. Thus, you spare cash that you can invest in publicizing the web site while it is still new. Each and every web space hosting plan delivered by 'Lonex' offers an online site builder and more than 40 popular script-driven software applications among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for website design solutions. 'Lonex' provides shared web site hosting plans in a number of different countries across the World. There is one datacenter in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; 2 European data center facilities - in England and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. Thus, nearly the whole World is covered to provide you and your site's visitors with a stable and dependable web page hosting service at a convenient place. All in all, the shared hosting solutions offered 'Lonex' are really well stocked and are available at a cut-rate price (beginning from $3.95 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To clients with little or no practice, a virtual web server may seem tough to administer. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also houses semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal United States server farm facility in Chicago. Managing these plans is similar to administering a conventional shared web site hosting plan through a web hosting CP user interface. They have all the specs of a shared web page hosting plan such as a free site building tool and a web application installer, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated server hosting plan is many times greater than that of a shared web site hosting package. For example, the CPU power that can be used is approximately FIVE times as much as compared with the shared web hosting accounts. When contrasted with a shared webspace hosting package, the quota of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is great: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain name allowance is a rule as well. The semi-dedicated server web hosting packages do not offer root access (we, at nearestexit.com, count this as a little disadvantage), but the good point is that they are administered through the same web site hosting CP interface as the shared web hosting accounts. This hints that a familiar graphical user interface is accessible by all clients who do not feel confident enough to manage a VPS hosting server, but at the same time require more power and system resources than a VPS server can supply them with. This is so because the semi-dedicated web servers share the reserves of the same powerful cutting edge servers as the ones which host the private virtual server hosting packages, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very low (somewhere between twenty to 30 per server), while the VPS web servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to a hundred and twenty per server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'Lonex' can be classified as being very affordable (as far as price is concerned), beginning from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In nearestexit.com's opinion, enormous web pages such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular web storefronts with thousands of clients demand a much more powerful web hosting platform. It appears that the folks from 'Lonex' have come to the same conclusion too. To meet its clients' requirements, 'Lonex' supplies a collection of dedicated web hosting servers that can tackle millions of daily visits. That estimation is based on the hardware specs the servers come with: many-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, 2000 GB of disk space and Gigabit NICs will doubtlessly guarantee the quick and stable performance of any sort of website. According to 'Lonex', the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding sites. We, from nearestexit.com, deem that all dedicated server solutions offered by 'Lonex' are also appropriate for launching a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated server comes with free billing software platform and a charge-free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated web hosting servers supplied by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at nearestexit.com, think of this as a small disadvantage, which can be rectified by paying a monthly tax of $30.00 USD. So, if you demand aid, the Managed Services upgrade includes various supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, web server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A handful of site hosting Control Panel (CP) user interfaces are available with each of the dedicated web hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (nearestexit.com's) prognosis is that the remarkable drag-and-drop File Manager included in the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel will probably make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software program futile. Our (nearestexit.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very affordably priced (still the Hepsia website hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will undoubtedly make you smile), commencing from $40.00 for the Optima 01 package.
