A survey of Lonex

We, at massgunservices.com, have chosen 'Lonex' to be our current domain and web hosting provider. Hence we anticipate that this concise assessment of 'Lonex' is perchance going to be quite helpful for other people from all around the World who need domain name and web hosting solutions. We state people from all around the Globe, because the mere fact is that 'Lonex' presently distributes domain and hosting services in several data center sites: in America (Chicago, IL), in England (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, encompassing almost the whole Earth. At least as far as the Internet is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in a few words:

Shared Webspace Hosting Accounts

The first detail we, at massgunservices.com, have discerned is the budget prices of the shared web site hosting plans provided 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 web space hosting plans supplied by 'Lonex' are driven by an in-house invented, cutting edge cloud web hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, Control Panel, disk space, DNS, stats, etc., runs on a separate pack of hosting servers in a cluster). This is something EVERY cPanel web hosting firm on the Globe will have enormous predicaments with, because cPanel is a one-server based web space hosting platform (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, CP, data storage, DNS, stats, and so on, is being run on one single web hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel-based hosting distributors cannot include additional functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they need to build their own file platform), which is at the heart of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web hosting accounts, which are driven by an authentic cloud web page hosting solution. With a shared website hosting plan, each customer pays just for his/her package, thus retaining the hosting price really low (because numerous customers use one and the same web hosting server). In brief, a shared hosting plan, which is being served by a cloud website hosting platform, allows you to pay solely for the resources that you actually require, refraining from a situation where you pay for an advanced web page hosting package that you cannot actually utilize, or for a basic webspace hosting plan that cannot shelter your web site. The option to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to kick off with a basic plan and upgrade as your website grows. That way, you spare cash that you can invest in publicizing the web page while it is still brand new. Each and every web hosting package provided by 'Lonex' offers an online web site building tool and over 40 popular script software applications among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will save you hundreds of dollars for web page design services. 'Lonex' delivers shared webspace hosting packages in a number of different countries across the World. There is one server farm facility in Chicago covering the United States and Canada; 2 European server farms - in Great Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia Pacific. Thus, practically the whole Earth is covered to present you and your site's visitors with a steady and dependable webspace hosting service at a preferred place. As a whole, the shared hosting plans offered 'Lonex' are quite well furnished and come at a good price (starting from $4.25 for the Personal plan).

Semi-dedicated Hosting Servers

To customers with little to no experience, a virtual private web hosting server may appear problematic to administer. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also houses semi-dedicated web hosting servers in its principal American datacenter in Chicago. Managing these plans is similar to managing a conventional shared site hosting account through a web site hosting CP GUI. They have all the functionalities of a shared web space hosting plan such as a fee-free website building tool and a script installer, but the system resource quota provided by a semi-dedicated server web hosting plan is many times larger than that of a shared website hosting plan. For example, the central processing unit power that can be utilized is about 5 times as much as compared to the shared web space hosting accounts. When matched against a shared web page hosting account, the number of database queries included within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is big: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted TLD quota is a standard too. The semi-dedicated hosting accounts do not include full server root access (we, at massgunservices.com, think that this is a little weakness), but the advantage is that they are administered through the very same web space hosting CP user interface as the shared web page hosting accounts. This indicates that a known graphical user interface is available to all users who do not have enough confidence to handle a private virtual web hosting server, but at the same time are in need of more power and system resources than a virtual web hosting server can provide them with. This is so because the semi-dedicated web hosting servers share the system resources of the same powerful cutting edge web hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the VPS web hosting plans, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very low (somewhere between twenty to thirty per physical server), whereas the virtual hosting servers can reach a much higher number (80 to one hundred and twenty per server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Lonex' can be labeled as being very inexpensive (as far as price is concerned), commencing from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus package.

Dedicated Servers

In massgunservices.com's opinion, large websites such as social networks, community and corporate portals or popular online shops with 1000s of customers request a much more powerful web space hosting solution. It appears that the blokes from 'Lonex' have drawn the same conclusion as well. To satisfy its users' expectations, 'Lonex' offers a selection of dedicated web servers that can tackle millions of daily hits. That estimation is based on the hardware configurations the hosting servers are offering: multi-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand gigabytes of storage space and Gigabit NICs will beyond doubt ensure the fast and steady performance of any sort of website. In 'Lonex's opinion, the original hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-requiring websites. We, from massgunservices.com, deem that all dedicated server specifications furnished by 'Lonex' are also appropriate for initiating a hosting reseller business as each dedicated web hosting server comes with free-of-charge billing software and a complimentary domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at massgunservices.com, count this as a slight drawback, which can be amended by paying a monthly tax which amounts to $30.00 USD. So, if you are in need of help, the Managed Services upgrade offers a bunch of supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated hosting server surveillance and troubleshooting procedures. An array of web site hosting CP (CP) tools are offered with each of the hosting servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (massgunservices.com's) forecast is that the amazing point and click File Manager available in the Hepsia hosting CP will probably make the use of any FTP client pointless. Our (massgunservices.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' don't seem to be very inexpensive (yet the Hepsia web page hosting Control Panel and the unmetered hosted domain name allowance will definitely make you smile), starting from $95.00 for the Xenia 01 package.
