An evaluation of Lonex

We, at chwellnesstherapy.com, have selected 'Lonex' to be our current domain and web hosting supplier. This is why we consider that this short assessment of 'Lonex' is perhaps going to be very useful for other individuals from all around the World in search for domain name and web hosting solutions. We say individuals from all around the Globe, because the simple fact is that 'Lonex' currently offers domain and hosting services in multiple data center sites: in North America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, covering virtually 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 Hosting Plans

The initial detail we, at chwellnesstherapy.com, have seen is the cut-rate prices of the shared website hosting accounts furnished by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the web site hosting packages delivered by 'Lonex' are driven by an in-house designed, innovative cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, like email, databases, webspace hosting CP, disk storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being served by an autonomous set of web servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting vendor on the Earth will have considerable predicaments with, because cPanel is a one single server based web page hosting platform (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web page hosting CP, storage space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being run on one and the same web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based webspace hosting vendors cannot include extra functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to make their own file system), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web space hosting packages, which are driven by an actual clustered website hosting solution. With a shared web site hosting account, each customer pays solely for his/her account, thus keeping the web hosting price really low (because lots of customers utilize the same web server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting plan, which runs on a clustered web page hosting system, permits you to pay just for the resources that you indeed require, refraining from a scenario where you pay for a powerful site hosting plan that you cannot actually utilize, or for a low-end web site hosting package that cannot handle your website. The ability to upgrade your account from one package to another with just 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to kick off with a tiny package and upgrade as your Internet presence expands. Thus, you spare funds that you can spend on advertising the web page while it is still brand new. Each and every hosting package offered by 'Lonex' offers an online site builder and more than forty popular script-driven platforms including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for website design services. 'Lonex' distributes shared web space hosting accounts in a number of different geographical regions around the World. There is one data center facility in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; 2 European data centers - in Great Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific. In this way, almost the whole World is covered to provide you and your website's visitors with a stable and dependable web site hosting solution at a preferred place. As a whole, the shared hosting packages provided 'Lonex' are really well equipped and are available at a very low price (beginning from $4.25 for the Personal package).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To people with little to no experience, a virtual server may appear problematic to administer. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also keeps semi-dedicated web servers in its principal US data center in Chicago. Handling these packages is comparable to handling a standard shared web site hosting account via a website hosting Control Panel tool. They have all the functionalities of a shared website hosting plan such as a free site builder and a script installer, but the system resource quota typical of a semi-dedicated server web hosting account is many times larger than that of a shared web space hosting account. For instance, the CPU power that can be utilized is about 5 times as much as compared with the shared web hosting plans. When contrasted with a shared package, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is huge: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted top-level domain name quota is a trend as well. The semi-dedicated web hosting packages do not include server root access (we, at chwellnesstherapy.com, think of this as a little weakness), but the benefit is that they are administered via the very same web site hosting Control Panel tool as the shared web site hosting accounts. This goes to say that a known graphical interface is accessible by all users who are not confident enough to manage a Virtual Private Server, yet need more power and system resources than a virtual private web server can confer to them. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the system resources of the same powerful ultramodern web servers as the ones which host the private virtual server accounts, still, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is quite small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per server), whereas the virtual hosting servers can reach a much greater number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' can be categorized as being quite inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), starting from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus plan.

Dedicated Hosting Servers

In chwellnesstherapy.com's opinion, enormous web sites such as social networks, community and business portals or famous online stores with 1000s of clients need a much more powerful web site hosting platform. It seems that the blokes from 'Lonex' have come to the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its customers' requirements, 'Lonex' provides a number of dedicated web servers that can cope with millions of daily visits. That estimate is based on the hardware specs the dedicated web hosting servers are offering: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of disk space and Gigabit network interface cards will undoubtedly ensure the quick and steady work of any sort of website. According to 'Lonex', the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-requiring web sites. We, from chwellnesstherapy.com, deem that all dedicated server configurations supplied by 'Lonex' are also suitable for beginning a hosting reseller business as every server arrives with free-of-charge billing software and a complimentary domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated hosting servers provided by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at chwellnesstherapy.com, consider this a slight downside, which can be amended by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $30.00 USD. So, if you require support, the Managed Services upgrade provides several additional services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. A bouquet of webspace hosting CP (CP) GUIs are offered with each of the dedicated hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (chwellnesstherapy.com's) prognosis is that the splendid drag and drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia hosting Control Panel will perhaps render the recourse to any FTP software program useless. Our (chwellnesstherapy.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'Lonex' don't appear to be very low priced (yet the Hepsia site hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain quotas will definitely make you smile), starting from $40.00 for the Optima 01 plan.
