A survey of Lonex

We, at improving-workforce.com, have chosen 'Lonex' to be our current domain and web hosting vendor. Therefore we suppose that this short assessment of 'Lonex' is perhaps 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, because the simple truth is that 'Lonex' currently furnishes domain and hosting services in numerous datacenter facility locations: in North America (Chicago, IL), in Britain (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Scandinavia (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thus, embracing approximately the whole Earth. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in brief:

Shared Hosting Packages

The first thing we, at improving-workforce.com, have discerned is the inexpensive prices of the shared hosting packages provided by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't sound very well, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared web hosting. The good thing here is that the web page hosting packages delivered by 'Lonex' are powered by an in-house built, avant-garde cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, like mail, databases, web page hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, stats, etc., is being served by an autonomous stack of hosting servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting distributor on the Globe will have enormous problems with, since cPanel is a single server based website hosting platform (each hosting service, like mail, databases, web space hosting Control Panel, data storage, DNS, stats, etc., runs on one and the same web server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based hosting vendors cannot add extra functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they must invent their own file system), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's return to the shared web site hosting packages, which are driven by a real cloud webspace hosting solution. With a shared site hosting plan, each client pays only for his/her account, thus retaining the web space hosting price very low (since multiple clients are located on one and the same hosting server). To cut a long story short, a shared hosting account, which is being served by a clustered web page hosting platform, allows you to pay just for the reserves that you actually need, evading a situation where you pay for a powerful webspace hosting plan that you cannot really use, or for a tiny web space hosting plan that cannot host your web page. The ability to upgrade your account from one plan to another with only 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to commence with a low-end package and upgrade as your web page expands. So, you economize funds that you can invest in promoting the web page while it is still new. Every hosting plan supplied by 'Lonex' boasts an online web site builder and over forty popular script software platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will spare you 100s of dollars for site design services. 'Lonex' provides shared webspace hosting packages in a number of different countries across the Globe. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago covering the US and Canada; two European server farm facilities - in the UK and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which encompasses the Asia Pacific region. In this way, nearly the entire Earth is encompassed to provide you and your site's visitors with a steady and fast site hosting solution at a preferred place. As a whole, the shared hosting solutions offered 'Lonex' are quite well stocked and are available at an excellent price (starting from $4.25 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Servers

To users with little to no practice, a private virtual web hosting server may seem tough to manage. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also offers semi-dedicated servers in its main United States datacenter facility in Chicago. Administering these accounts is similar to managing a regular shared website hosting package through a web space hosting Control Panel user interface. They have all the functionalities of a shared web page hosting package such as a free-of-cost web site building tool and a web app installer, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated web server package is many times larger than that of a shared web hosting plan. For example, the CPU power that can be used is approximately FIVE times as much as compared to the shared website hosting accounts. When juxtaposed to a shared site hosting plan, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is enormous: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted top-level domain name quota is a pattern too. The semi-dedicated server accounts do not include full root privileges (we, at improving-workforce.com, count this as a tiny defect), but the good point is that they are administered through the very same website hosting Control Panel interface as the shared web space hosting packages. This indicates that a well-known graphical user interface is offered to all users who do not feel self-confident enough to handle a VPS hosting server, yet demand more power and reserves than a virtual private web server can offer. This is so owing to the fact that the semi-dedicated servers share the reserves of the same powerful top-class web servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS web hosting plans, however, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite small (somewhere between 20 to 30 per server), whereas the private virtual servers can reach a much bigger number (80 to a hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'Lonex' can be classified as being quite affordable (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus package.

Dedicated Web Hosting Servers

In improving-workforce.com's opinion, big web sites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or famous web stores with thousands of customers need a much more powerful web page hosting environment. It seems that the guys from 'Lonex' have reached the same conclusion as well. To meet its clients' requirements, 'Lonex' supplies a selection of dedicated web hosting servers that can manage millions of daily hits. That evaluation stands on the hardware configurations the dedicated web hosting servers come with: Dual and Quad-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of data storage and Gigabit network interface cards will doubtlessly guarantee the quick and stable performance of any type of website. In 'Lonex's opinion, the primary hardware specifications can be upgraded for more system resource-requiring web sites. We, from improving-workforce.com, consider that all dedicated server specifications offered by 'Lonex' are also suitable for launching a hosting reseller business as each and every hosting server offers free-of-charge billing transaction software platform and a free domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated servers provided by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at improving-workforce.com, think that this is a tiny negative point, which can be amended by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $30.00 USD. So, if you are in need of aid, the Managed Services upgrade offers a few additional services such as a regular backup, software installation, dedicated server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. A selection of web hosting Control Panel (CP) interfaces are available with each of the hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (improving-workforce.com's) prognosis is that the splendid drag-and-drop File Manager offered by the Hepsia web hosting CP will perhaps render the utilization of any FTP software futile. Our (improving-workforce.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very low priced (still the Hepsia webspace hosting CP and the unlimited hosted domain name allowance will no doubt make you smile), commencing from $60.00 for the Xenia 01 plan.
