A survey of Lonex

We, at psytelligence.com, have picked 'Lonex' to be our present domain and web hosting supplier. Therefore we believe that this short review of 'Lonex' is probably going to be very useful for other people from all over the Globe who seek domain name and web hosting solutions. We say people from all around the Globe, since the mere truth is that 'Lonex' currently distributes domain and hosting services in multiple server farm locations: in North America (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, covering approximately the entire Globe. At least from the point of view of the Internet. So, here is what you could expect from 'Lonex' in a nutshell:

Shared Site Hosting Services

The first thing we, at psytelligence.com, have perceived is the affordable prices of the shared webspace hosting services furnished by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is called: shared hosting. The good news here is that the webspace hosting accounts furnished by 'Lonex' are driven by an in-house developed, futuristic cloud web hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, web page hosting Control Panel, disk space, DNS, stats, etc., is being run on a different group of hosting servers in a cluster). This is a circumstance ANY cPanel web hosting corporation in the World will have immense predicaments with, because cPanel is a one single server based web site hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as mail, databases, web space hosting CP, web space, DNS, stats, etc., is being handled by one single server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel-based web hosting corporations cannot include new functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they must devise their own file platform), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's go back to the shared web space hosting plans, which are powered by a genuine cloud web hosting solution. With a shared site hosting account, each customer pays only for his/her account, thus keeping the webspace hosting price very low (because plenty of customers utilize one and the same web server). In brief, a shared hosting account, which runs on a cloud webspace hosting platform, enables you to pay only for the resources that you indeed demand, evading a situation where you pay for a high-end hosting plan that you cannot truly use, or for a low-end website hosting package that cannot accommodate your web site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only 2 mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to commence with a basic plan and upgrade as your web page expands. Hence, you save cash that you can invest in publicizing the site while it is still brand new. Each web hosting plan supplied by 'Lonex' boasts an online website building tool and over forty popular script-driven platforms such as WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for web page design services. 'Lonex' offers shared webspace hosting accounts in several different geographical regions around the Globe. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago encompassing the United States and Canada; two European data centers - in England and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia-Pacific region. In this way, approximately the entire planet is covered to provide you and your website's visitors with a steady and dependable website hosting solution at a convenient place. All in all, the shared hosting packages supplied 'Lonex' are very well appointed and are available at a very cheap price (beginning from $4.25 for the Personal package).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To users with little to no experience, a virtual private web hosting server may seem tough to manage. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also offers semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its main American datacenter in Chicago. Handling these plans is similar to handling a typical shared web site hosting plan via a hosting CP interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared web page hosting package such as a free-of-cost website building tool and a PHP script installer, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated package is many times bigger than that of a shared web page hosting account. For instance, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is approximately 5 times as much as compared to the shared hosting packages. When compared with a shared plan, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting plans is big: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain quota is a norm as well. The semi-dedicated hosting packages do not arrive with root access (we, at psytelligence.com, think of this as a tiny drawback), but the advantage is that they are administered through the very same Control Panel tool as the shared web space hosting packages. This indicates that a known graphical user interface is available to all users who do not have enough self-condifence to manage a VPS hosting server, but at the same time require more power and resources than a virtual web hosting server can furnish them with. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the reserves of the very same powerful cutting edge web hosting servers as the ones which host the VPS web hosting accounts, still, the number of the semi-dedicated hosting servers is very low (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical machine), while the virtual hosting servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per physical machine). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' can be branded as being quite cheap (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

According to psytelligence.com, huge sites such as social networks, community and corporate web portals or popular online storefronts with 1000s of customers require a much more powerful site hosting environment. It seems that the fellows from 'Lonex' have drawn the same conclusion too. To meet its users' anticipations, 'Lonex' supplies a selection of dedicated web hosting servers that can manage millions of daily visits. That estimate rests on the hardware specifications the dedicated web hosting servers boast: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, 2000 GB of disk space and Gigabit network interface cards will beyond doubt ensure the fast and steady performance of any type of website. According to 'Lonex', the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding web sites. We, from psytelligence.com, believe that all dedicated server accounts furnished by 'Lonex' are also suitable for beginning a hosting reseller business as each hosting server comes with free invoice transaction software and a charge-free domain reseller account. Sadly, the dedicated hosting servers furnished by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at psytelligence.com, deem this a small defect, which can be corrected by paying a monthly tax of $30.00 USD. So, if you are in need of support, the Managed Services upgrade provides an assortment of supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. A bunch of web space hosting Control Panel (CP) interfaces are offered with each of the hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (psytelligence.com's) prognosis is that the remarkable drag-and-drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia web page hosting Control Panel will possibly render the recourse to any FTP software program futile. Our (psytelligence.com's) inference is that the dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very inexpensive (still the Hepsia Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain quotas will no doubt make you smile), commencing from $40.00 for the Optima 01 package.
