An evaluation of Lonex

We, at transformingworkforce.com, have chosen 'Lonex' to be our present domain and web hosting vendor. Therefore we believe that this succinct evaluation of 'Lonex' is maybe going to be quite useful for other individuals from all over the Globe who are looking for domain name and web hosting services. We say folks from all over the World, since the mere truth is that 'Lonex' currently provides domain and hosting services in numerous datacenter facility locations: in America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, embracing nearly the entire planet. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in a nutshell:

Shared Web Page Hosting Accounts

The first detail we, at transformingworkforce.com, have spotted is the low-cost prices of the shared webspace hosting packages supplied by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the webspace hosting accounts offered by 'Lonex' are powered by an in-house built, modern cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as email, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, statistics, etc., is being run on an independent set of hosting servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting supplier in the World will have huge troubles with, because cPanel is a one single server based webspace hosting platform (each web hosting service, such as email, databases, web site hosting CP, data storage, DNS, statistics, etc., runs on one and the same hosting server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel website hosting vendors are unable to include new functionality and manipulate it the way they need it) and there is no open source file system (they have to construct their own file system), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web space hosting plans, which are driven by an authentic cloud website hosting solution. With a shared website hosting plan, each client pays solely for his/her account, thus maintaining the web space hosting price very low (because lots of clients utilize one and the same web hosting server). In a nutshell, a shared hosting package, which is hosted on a cloud site hosting system, enables you to pay just for the reserves that you indeed demand, evading a situation where you pay for a high-end web site hosting account that you cannot truly use, or for a low-end web page hosting package that cannot accommodate your site. The possibility to upgrade your account from one package to another with only two clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to commence with a small plan and upgrade as your site grows. Hence, you save funds that you can spend on promoting the website while it is still novel. Every web space hosting plan offered by 'Lonex' ships with an online website builder and more than forty widely used script-driven software applications including WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for website design services. 'Lonex' delivers shared web site hosting accounts in a number of different regions across the Globe. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago covering the US and Canada; 2 European server farm facilities - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific. Hence, practically the whole Globe is encompassed to provide you and your website's visitors with a stable and reliable web space hosting solution at a desired place. Altogether, the shared hosting plans offered 'Lonex' are really well appointed and come at a very low price (starting from $4.25 for the Personal package).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To customers with little or no practice, a private virtual hosting server may appear hard to administer. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also stores semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal United States data center in Chicago. Handling these packages is similar to administering a typical shared web site hosting plan through a web space hosting CP user interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared account such as a free web site building tool and a web app installation tool, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated web server plan is many times greater than that of a shared website hosting plan. For example, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is approximately 5 times as much as compared to the shared hosting accounts. When compared with a shared website hosting account, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is immense: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted domain quota is a rule as well. The semi-dedicated accounts do not offer full root privileges (we, at transformingworkforce.com, think of this as a slight defect), but the advantage is that they are managed via the same web space hosting Control Panel tool as the shared site hosting plans. This signifies that a recognizable graphical environment is accessible by all users who are not self-confident enough to handle a virtual hosting server, but at the same time are in need of more power and system resources than a virtual private web hosting server can offer. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated web servers share the resources of the very same powerful avant-garde web servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS server plans, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is quite small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per server), while the private virtual web servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per server). Having that information in mind, the semi-dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' can be dubbed as being quite inexpensive (as far as cost is concerned), commencing from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

In transformingworkforce.com's opinion, huge web pages such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous web stores with 1000s of clients need a much more powerful web space hosting solution. It appears that the folks from 'Lonex' have come to the same conclusion as well. To answer its users' demands, 'Lonex' provides an array of dedicated web hosting servers that can manage millions of daily visits. That assessment rests on the hardware configurations the dedicated servers come with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four GB of RAM, two thousand GB of disk space and Gigabit network cards will no doubt guarantee the quick and steady performance of any sort of website. According to 'Lonex', the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-demanding web sites. We, from transformingworkforce.com, deem that all dedicated server packages provided by 'Lonex' are also appropriate for kickstarting a hosting reseller business as each dedicated hosting server offers free invoice transaction software and a bonus domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated hosting servers provided by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at transformingworkforce.com, think of this as a minor minus, which can be amended by paying a monthly fee of $30.00 USD. So, if you require backing, the Managed Services upgrade offers a few supplementary services such as a regular backup, software installation, web hosting server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A bouquet of webspace hosting CP (CP) GUIs are available with each of the dedicated web servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (transformingworkforce.com's) prognosis is that the excellent drag-and-drop File Manager included in the Hepsia CP will possibly make the utilization of any File Transfer Protocol software program futile. Our (transformingworkforce.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very affordably priced (yet the Hepsia web hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain allowance will doubtlessly make you smile), starting from $60.00 for the Xenia 01 package.
