A review of Lonex

We, at reliabuilders.com, have selected 'Lonex' to be our present domain name and web hosting supplier. Hence we consider that this concise review of 'Lonex' is perhaps going to be quite helpful for other folks from all around the World who are searching for domain name and web hosting services. We state individuals from all over the World, because the simple truth is that 'Lonex' currently delivers domain and hosting services in numerous server farm locations: in the United States (Chicago, IL), in Great Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, covering nearly the entire Globe. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in brief:

Shared Web Site Hosting Plans

The initial thing we, at reliabuilders.com, have noticed is the low-cost prices of the shared web hosting plans delivered by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared web hosting. The good news here is that the web site hosting accounts provided by 'Lonex' are powered by a custom built, ultramodern cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, like mail, databases, webspace hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, etc., is being served by a different group of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting supplier in the World will have big complications with, since cPanel is a one-server based web space hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web page hosting CP, disk space, DNS, stats, etc., is being served by one and the same server), cPanel is not open source (hence the cPanel-based web hosting suppliers are unable to add new functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to design their own file system), which is the foundation of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web hosting accounts, which are powered by a genuine clustered site hosting solution. With a shared web hosting plan, each customer pays just for his/her plan, thus retaining the web site hosting price amazingly low (since many customers use one and the same web server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting plan, which runs on a cloud web site hosting system, enables you to pay solely for the resources that you indeed need, avoiding a situation where you pay for an advanced web site hosting plan that you cannot really utilize, or for a low-end site hosting account that cannot handle your website. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two clicks gives you the flexibility to begin with a small plan and upgrade as your site expands. So, you save money that you can invest in publicizing the site while it is still new. Each and every webspace hosting plan supplied by 'Lonex' sports an online web site building tool and more than forty popular script-driven software applications among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for web page design services. 'Lonex' offers shared web page hosting plans in several different regions across the Globe. There is one data center facility in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; two European datacenter facilities - in the UK and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. In this way, almost the whole World is covered to present you and your web page's visitors with a stable and dependable web page hosting solution at a convenient place. Altogether, the shared hosting plans offered 'Lonex' are really well appointed and are available at a very affordable price (beginning from $3.95 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To customers with little to no practice, a Virtual Private Server may seem difficult to handle. That's probably why 'Lonex' also houses semi-dedicated servers in its main American server farm facility in Chicago. Administering these accounts is similar to administering a regular shared webspace hosting plan via a web site hosting Control Panel tool. They have all the functionalities of a shared web site hosting account such as a free-of-charge website building tool and a web application installation tool, but the amount of system resources typical of a semi-dedicated web hosting package is many times greater than that of a shared hosting account. For instance, the CPU power that can be used is nearly FIVE times as much as compared to the shared hosting plans. When matched against a shared website hosting plan, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is big: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted TLD allowance is a rule as well. The semi-dedicated server accounts do not include full root access (we, at reliabuilders.com, think that this is a small disadvantage), but the plus is that they are managed via the same webspace hosting Control Panel GUI as the shared website hosting plans. This signifies that a familiar graphical environment is accessible by all users who are not confident enough to manage a virtual private web hosting server, yet need more power and features than a virtual web server can provide them with. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated hosting servers share the resources of the same powerful high-end web hosting servers as the ones which host the private virtual server web hosting packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical machine), whereas the private virtual web hosting servers can reach a much higher number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Lonex' can be branded as being quite cheap (as far as price is concerned), beginning from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

According to reliabuilders.com, huge websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous online stores with 1000s of clients call for a much more powerful hosting platform. It seems that the chaps from 'Lonex' have drawn the same conclusion too. To fulfil its clients' requirements, 'Lonex' delivers a bouquet of dedicated web hosting servers that can tackle millions of daily visits. That estimate is based on the hardware configurations the servers arrive with: multi-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of disk space and Gigabit network interface cards will no doubt guarantee the quick and steady performance of any kind of site. According to 'Lonex', the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring websites. We, from reliabuilders.com, think that all dedicated server configurations delivered by 'Lonex' are also appropriate for establishing a hosting reseller business as each and every dedicated web server comes with free-of-charge invoice transaction software platform and a free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web hosting servers delivered by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at reliabuilders.com, regard this as a slight downside, which can be corrected by paying a monthly fee of $30.00 USD. So, if you need support, the Managed Services upgrade offers various extra services such as a regular backup, software installation, web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. A bouquet of web hosting CP (CP) user interfaces are offered with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (reliabuilders.com's) prediction is that the magnificent drag-and-drop File Manager added in the Hepsia web space hosting CP will probably make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol software futile. Our (reliabuilders.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers offered by 'Lonex' don't appear to be very modestly priced (still the Hepsia webspace hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain allowance will undoubtedly make you smile), beginning from $40.00 for the Optima 01 package.
