An evaluation of Lonex

We, at spearfishnorthwest.com, have chosen 'Lonex' to be our current domain name and web hosting supplier. This is why we suppose that this brief assessment of 'Lonex' is perchance going to be very helpful for other individuals from all around the Globe who need domain name and web hosting services. We say folks from all over the Globe, since the simple truth is that 'Lonex' currently supplies domain and hosting services in multiple data center locations: in the United States (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, covering virtually the whole World. At least from the point of view of the World Wide Web. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in a nutshell:

Shared Hosting Services

The first detail we, at spearfishnorthwest.com, have perceived is the affordable 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 news here is that the hosting packages supplied by 'Lonex' are powered by a custom designed, state-of-the-art cloud web hosting solution (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, web site hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, statistics, and so on, runs on an independent stack of web hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting corporation in the World will have colossal predicaments with, since cPanel is a single server based web site hosting platform (each hosting service, like mail, databases, website hosting CP, storage space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being tackled by one single server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel web page hosting firms cannot add additional functionality and handle it the way they need it) and there is no open source file platform (they have to design their own file platform), which is the prerequisite of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web page hosting accounts, which are powered by an authentic cloud web space hosting platform. With a shared webspace hosting package, each client pays only for his/her account, thus retaining the web site hosting price really low (since multiple users utilize the same hosting server). In short, a shared hosting account, which is hosted on a clustered hosting system, permits you to pay just for the reserves that you actually require, precluding a scenario where you pay for a feature-rich webspace hosting account that you cannot really utilize, or for a basic site hosting plan that cannot host your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 mouse clicks grants you the flexibility to kick off with a low-end package and upgrade as your web presence grows. So, you economize money that you can spend on promoting the site while it is still novel. Every webspace hosting plan delivered by 'Lonex' sports an online site builder and more than 40 widely used script-driven platforms like WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you hundreds of dollars for web page design solutions. 'Lonex' offers shared website hosting services in a number of different countries around the World. There is one datacenter in Chicago encompassing the USA and Canada; 2 European server farm facilities - in the United Kingdom and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific. Thus, almost the entire planet is covered to provide you and your visitors with a steady and fast hosting service at a convenient place. On the whole, the shared hosting plans furnished 'Lonex' are very well stocked and come at a low-cost price (starting from $3.95 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To customers with little or no experience, a private virtual web server may seem problematic to handle. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also offers semi-dedicated hosting servers in its main North American data center in Chicago. Handling these plans is comparable to managing a standard shared web site hosting package via a web site hosting Control Panel user interface. They have all the specs of a shared web page hosting package such as a free-of-cost website building tool and a web application installer, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated web hosting server package is many times bigger than that of a shared webspace hosting package. For example, the CPU power that can be utilized is almost FIVE times as much as compared to the shared website hosting packages. When contrasted with a shared webspace hosting account, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted top-level domain name allowance is a standard as well. The semi-dedicated hosting server accounts do not come with root-level access (we, at spearfishnorthwest.com, regard this as a tiny downside), but the good point is that they are administered via the same site hosting Control Panel interface as the shared website hosting accounts. This means that a recognizable graphical interface is accessible by all clients who do not feel self-confident enough to handle a virtual web hosting server, yet demand more power and supplies than a virtual private web hosting server can confer to them. This is like that because of the fact that the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the resources of the same powerful first-class web hosting servers as the ones which host the Virtual Private Server hosting packages, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is very small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per physical machine), whereas the virtual servers can reach a much greater number (80 to 120 per physical machine). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'Lonex' can be defined as being quite inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), starting from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus package.

Dedicated Servers

According to spearfishnorthwest.com, big web pages such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular web shops with thousands of customers request a much more powerful web site hosting platform. It seems that the folks from 'Lonex' have arrived at the same conclusion as well. To fulfil its clients' expectations, 'Lonex' delivers a selection of dedicated servers that can cope with millions of daily hits. That estimate stands on the hardware specs the web servers ship with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 gigabytes of RAM, 2000 gigabytes of storage space and Gigabit network interface cards will undoubtedly ensure the fast and steady work of any kind of web site. In 'Lonex's opinion, the original hardware specs can be upgraded for more resource-requiring web sites. We, from spearfishnorthwest.com, consider that all dedicated server accounts offered by 'Lonex' are also appropriate for beginning a hosting reseller business as every dedicated hosting server ships with free-of-charge invoice transaction software platform and a fee-free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated web hosting servers delivered by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at spearfishnorthwest.com, think that this is a small defect, which can be adjusted by paying a monthly tax of $30.00 USD. So, if you require assistance, the Managed Services upgrade offers various supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting operations. A handful of web page hosting Control Panel (CP) GUIs are available with each of the servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (spearfishnorthwest.com's) prediction is that the excellent point-and-click File Manager available in the Hepsia web space hosting Control Panel will probably make the recourse to any File Transfer Protocol client useless. Our (spearfishnorthwest.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers furnished by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very modestly priced (still the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and the unlimited hosted domain quotas will undoubtedly make you smile), commencing from $40.00 for the Optima 01 package.
