An assessment of Lonex

We, at qomqo.com, have picked 'Lonex' to be our present domain and web hosting vendor. This is why we think that this succinct assessment of 'Lonex' is perchance going to be very useful for other individuals from all over the Globe in need of domain name and web hosting solutions. We state individuals from all around the Globe, because the mere truth is that 'Lonex' presently provides domain and hosting services in numerous server farm sites: in the United States of America (Chicago, IL), in the UK (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). Thereby, encompassing virtually the whole World. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could expect from 'Lonex' in short:

Shared Hosting Accounts

The first detail we, at qomqo.com, have discerned is the cheap prices of the shared webspace hosting services provided by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good news here is that the web hosting packages supplied by 'Lonex' are powered by an in-house built, leading edge cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, like mail, databases, website hosting CP, disk space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being handled by a separate host of hosting servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting vendor on the Globe will have colossal complications with, because cPanel is a one-server based website hosting platform (each hosting service, such as mail, databases, hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, stats, and so on, is being tackled by one and the same server), cPanel is not open source (that is why the cPanel website hosting corporations are unable to add new functionality and handle it the way they want it) and there is no open source file platform (they must design their own file platform), which is the precondition of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web hosting plans, which are powered by a genuine clustered hosting platform. With a shared web page hosting package, each customer pays solely for his/her package, thus preserving the hosting price very low (since numerous clients are located on the same web hosting server). In brief, a shared hosting plan, which runs on a clustered web site hosting platform, enables you to pay only for the reserves that you really require, refraining from a scenario where you pay for a high-end web site hosting account that you cannot truly utilize, or for a low-end hosting package that cannot accommodate your site. The option to upgrade your account from one package to another with only 2 clicks of the mouse gives you the flexibility to start with a basic package and upgrade as your Internet presence expands. Thus, you economize funds that you can expend on publicizing the web page while it is still new. Each web page hosting account furnished by 'Lonex' arrives with an online web site builder and over 40 popular script platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for web site design services. 'Lonex' distributes shared web page hosting plans in several different regions across the Globe. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago encompassing the United States of America and Canada; 2 European datacenters - in Great Britain and in Scandinavia; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific. That way, virtually the whole Earth is covered to supply you and your website's visitors with a stable and fast hosting service at a preferred location. On the whole, the shared hosting accounts furnished 'Lonex' are really well furnished and come at a budget price (starting from $3.95 for the Personal package).

Semi-dedicated Web Servers

To customers with little to no practice, a virtual private web server may seem difficult to administer. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also stores semi-dedicated hosting servers in its principal US datacenter in Chicago. Administering these packages is similar to managing a normal shared website hosting account through a webspace hosting CP interface. They have all the specs of a shared web page hosting account such as a free site builder and a PHP script installer, but the amount of system resources provided by a semi-dedicated server hosting package is many times larger than that of a shared hosting plan. For example, the CPU power that can be utilized is almost FIVE times as much as compared to the shared site hosting plans. When matched against a shared package, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting packages is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unlimited hosted top-level domain name quota is a standard too. The semi-dedicated web server plans do not include full root access (we, at qomqo.com, consider this a slight negative point), but the advantage is that they are administered via the same web space hosting CP interface as the shared site hosting plans. This implies that a user-friendly graphical interface is offered to all customers who do not feel confident enough to handle a virtual private web server, yet demand more power and system resources than a virtual private hosting server can offer. This is like that because the semi-dedicated web servers share the reserves of the same powerful cutting edge hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the virtual private web hosting server plans, still, the number of the semi-dedicated web hosting servers is very low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per server), while the VPS servers can reach a much greater number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers furnished by 'Lonex' can be dubbed as being quite cheap (as far as cost is concerned), starting from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus plan.

Dedicated Servers

According to qomqo.com, large web pages such as social networks, community and business portals or popular web storefronts with 1000s of customers need a much more powerful web space hosting platform. It seems that the guys from 'Lonex' have come to the same conclusion too. To satisfy its customers' needs, 'Lonex' provides a number of dedicated web hosting servers that can tackle millions of daily visits. That evaluation is based on the hardware configurations the hosting servers have: multi-core processors, up to four gigabytes of RAM, 2000 GB of storage space and Gigabit network cards will no doubt ensure the fast and stable work of any sort of website. In 'Lonex's opinion, the original hardware specifications can be upgraded for more resource-requiring web sites. We, from qomqo.com, deem that all dedicated server configurations furnished by 'Lonex' are also appropriate for starting a hosting reseller business as every web hosting server offers free-of-cost invoicing software and a cost-free domain reseller account. Unlickily, the dedicated web hosting servers delivered by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at qomqo.com, deem this a small inconvenience, which can be righted by paying a monthly fee which amounts to $30.00 USD. So, if you are in need of aid, the Managed Services upgrade includes a bunch of extra services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated server monitoring and troubleshooting procedures. An assortment of site hosting CP (CP) GUIs are offered with each of the dedicated servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (qomqo.com's) prediction is that the splendid point-and-click File Manager available in the Hepsia webspace hosting Control Panel will perhaps render the recourse to any FTP software futile. Our (qomqo.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' don't appear to be very affordably priced (yet the Hepsia web hosting CP and the unmetered hosted domain name quotas will definitely make you smile), starting from $40.00 for the Optima 01 plan.
