A survey of Lonex

We, at kbclassifieds.com, have selected 'Lonex' to be our current domain name and web hosting distributor. This is why we consider that this concise review of 'Lonex' is perhaps going to be quite useful for other people from all over the Globe who are searching for domain name and web hosting services. We state people from all over the World, since the simple truth is that 'Lonex' currently delivers domain and hosting services in several data center locations: in the US (Chicago, IL), in the United Kingdom (Maidenhead, 20 miles outside London), in Sweden (Stockholm) and in Australia (Sydney). That way, covering almost the whole Globe. At least as far as the World Wide Web is concerned. So, here is what you could anticipate from 'Lonex' in short:

Shared Webspace Hosting Accounts

The first detail we, at kbclassifieds.com, have perceived is the low prices of the shared website hosting services supplied by 'Lonex'. Shared doesn't seem very good, does it? Well, that's what it is referred to as: shared hosting. The good thing here is that the web page hosting plans delivered by 'Lonex' are powered by a custom invented, modern cloud web hosting solution (each hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, web page hosting Control Panel, storage space, DNS, statistics, and so on, is being served by an independent bunch of servers in a cluster). This is something ANY cPanel web hosting provider on the Earth will have immense problems with, since cPanel is a one-server based web space hosting environment (each web hosting service, such as electronic mail, databases, website hosting CP, web space, DNS, statistics, etc., is being run on a single hosting server), cPanel is not open source (therefore the cPanel web space hosting suppliers are not able to include additional functionality and manipulate it the way they want it) and there is no open source file system (they have to develop their own file platform), which is the premise of any cloud web hosting service. Let's get back to the shared web space hosting accounts, which are powered by an authentic clustered web space hosting platform. With a shared web page hosting package, each client pays solely for his/her package, thus preserving the site hosting price amazingly low (since lots of users use one and the same hosting server). In short, a shared hosting account, which runs on a cloud website hosting solution, permits you to pay only for the reserves that you actually demand, precluding a scenario where you pay for a powerful webspace hosting plan that you cannot truly utilize, or for a basic webspace hosting package that cannot shelter your web page. The possibility to upgrade your account from one plan to another with just 2 mouse clicks gives you the flexibility to kick off with a low-end package and upgrade as your web page expands. Hence, you save money that you can spend on publicizing the site while it is still new. Every website hosting package furnished by 'Lonex' contains an online site builder and more than 40 widely used script-driven platforms among them WordPress, Joomla, Zen Cart and Moodle that will economize you 100s of dollars for web page design solutions. 'Lonex' provides shared web page hosting solutions in several different geographical regions across the World. There is one datacenter facility in Chicago covering the United States of America and Canada; 2 European datacenter facilities - in Britain and in Sweden; and another one in Australia, which covers the Asia-Pacific region. That way, practically the whole World is encompassed to supply you and your web site's visitors with a stable and fast website hosting solution at a convenient place. On the whole, the shared hosting plans supplied 'Lonex' are really well stocked and are available at a budget price (starting from $3.95 for the Personal plan).

Private Virtual Hosting Servers

As your website becomes more famous, more individuals will open it simultaneously, thereby bringing about bigger server load. Shared site hosting plans fix given restrictions so that all the hosting clients on the web hosting server have their quota of the system resources. Therefore, for more popular web sites, a VPS web hosting server (VPS) would be a better decision. A VPS hosting server provides the optimum ratio between productivity and price. It imitates a dedicated hosting server and with 'Lonex' all Virtual Private Servers that are made available come with root privileges and a bunch of OSs (CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian) and web hosting CP interfaces (Hepsia, cPanel, DirectAdmin) to pick from. Please pay strict heed to the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel. In contrast to cPanel (which costs $10.00 USD per month on top of the selected VPS web hosting package's cost), Hepsia is added at no extra monthly charge (it's free with all virtual server plans and performs with all Linux OSs: CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, while cPanel is compatible only with CentOS) and sports a superb Domain Manager via which you can register, migrate, renew and administer Top-Level Domains (cPanel does not feature such a tool at all)! The more knowledgeable customers can manage the VPS through an SSH client program, but rookies can also administer it effortlessly through a Parallels Virtuozzo or OpenVZ virtualization console, installing server-side software applications, restarting specific services or the whole virtual hosting server. Give heed to this fact: the major advantage of the VPS server web hosting packages is that if the hosting server load reaches the plan's quota, additional resources can be allotted to this given virtual private hosting server for a certain amount of time as long as they are present on the physical server. Altogether, a VPS hugely surpasses the capacities of any shared hosting plan and the extra reserves offer an even more stable and reliable service. With 'Lonex', the prices for the VPS hosting server plans begin at just $25.00 for the VPS Light package. All Virtual Private Server hosting plans are available in Chicago, London and Sydney, guaranteeing optimum performance for your sites.

Semi-dedicated Web Hosting Servers

To users with little to no experience, a private virtual hosting server may appear difficult to administer. That's perhaps why 'Lonex' also offers semi-dedicated web servers in its main US server farm in Chicago. Administering these packages is comparable to managing a regular shared website hosting package through a CP GUI. They have all the functionalities of a shared hosting package such as a free web site building tool and a web application installation tool, but the amount of system resources offered by a semi-dedicated server web hosting plan is many times larger than that of a shared web hosting account. For instance, the CPU power that can be utilized is nearly 5 times as much as compared to the shared website hosting accounts. When contrasted with a shared web hosting package, the number of database queries added within the semi-dedicated hosting accounts is vast: 90 000 / hour. An unmetered hosted TLD quota is a principle as well. The semi-dedicated web server packages do not ship with full root privileges (we, at kbclassifieds.com, deem this a small minus), but the benefit is that they are managed through the same web site hosting Control Panel GUI as the shared web space hosting packages. This signifies that a well-known graphical interface is offered to all customers who do not feel self-confident enough to handle a virtual hosting server, yet are in need of more power and features than a virtual private web server can confer to them. This is like that because the semi-dedicated servers share the system resources of the same powerful cutting edge web hosting servers as the ones which accommodate the Virtual Private Server hosting plans, yet, the number of the semi-dedicated web servers is quite low (somewhere between 20 to thirty per server), while the VPS servers can reach a much higher number (eighty to one hundred and twenty per physical server). Having that info in mind, the semi-dedicated servers supplied by 'Lonex' can be branded as being amazingly affordable (as far as cost is concerned), beginning from $30.00 for the Semi-dedicated Plus plan.

Dedicated Web Servers

According to kbclassifieds.com, enormous web pages such as social networks, community and business portals or famous web shops with 1000s of clients request a much more powerful webspace hosting platform. It seems that the folks from 'Lonex' have reached the same conclusion too. To fulfil its clients' anticipations, 'Lonex' provides a bouquet of dedicated servers that can handle millions of daily hits. That estimate stands on the hardware specs the web servers ship with: multi-core processors, up to 4 GB of RAM, two thousand GB of storage space and Gigabit network cards will undoubtedly ensure the fast and stable work of any sort of website. According to 'Lonex', the primary hardware configurations can be upgraded for more resource-demanding sites. We, from kbclassifieds.com, consider that all dedicated server specs offered by 'Lonex' are also suitable for commencing a hosting reseller business as each and every web server comes with free invoice transaction software platform and a free-of-cost domain reseller account. Unfortunately, the dedicated servers delivered by 'Lonex' are all unmanaged. We, at kbclassifieds.com, think of this as a tiny downside, which can be amended by paying a monthly tax of $30.00 USD. So, if you are in need of support, the Managed Services upgrade provides several supplementary services such as a routine backup, software installation, dedicated server monitoring and troubleshooting operations. A handful of web page hosting CP (CP) GUIs are available with each of the dedicated servers - Hepsia, cPanel and DirectAdmin. Our (kbclassifieds.com's) forecast is that the great drag-and-drop File Manager added in the Hepsia web site hosting Control Panel will probably render the use of any File Transfer Protocol software useless. Our (kbclassifieds.com's) conclusion is that the dedicated servers supplied by 'Lonex' don't appear to be very cheap (still the Hepsia CP and the unlimited hosted domain allowance will undoubtedly make you smile), starting from $160.00 for the Optima plan.
