This request was initially posted in: Home > HelioNet > Contact HelioNet however this is not the correct area for Support requests as it is not actively monitored by staff. I've now moved it to the right place for support: Home > HelioHost > Customer Service Python is enabled by default inside Plesk. You can read more about using Python at HelioHost on our Wiki at: https://wiki.helionet.org/Python_Tutorial Flask is available on the Johnny server for Python 3.12. We offer guidance on using Flask in our Wiki at: https://wiki.helionet.org/Flask#Johnny_server Please note that WSGI uses caching, which means that during the first 2 hours after a site change, you may intermittently see old or new content, depending on which process you get assigned to, until Apache is restarted on the server, which happens every 2 hours or so. For Flask development on the Johnny server, we'd recommend that you develop your Flask app on your home computer and then host the production copy on the server. You can read more about caching here: https://wiki.helionet.org/Flask#WSGI_Uses_Caching If you need to have changes reflected immediately on your deployed website, you could move your account to the Morty server, or purchase a VPS, where you can get WSGI control access set up. You can read more about that here: https://wiki.helionet.org/Flask#Request_WSGI_Control_Access The requests and flask-cors modules are already installed on Python 3.12 on the Johnny sever. Because all staff are unpaid volunteers, we ask that you check what modules are already installed first, to prevent asking for ones already available for use. You can see which modules are already installed for Python 3.12 on Johnny here: https://krydos2.heliohost.org/pyinfo/info3.12.py You can read more about the details required when creating a request for additonal modules here: https://wiki.helionet.org/Python_Tutorial#Request_Additional_Python_Modules I'm escalating this thread to our root admins to consider adding the psycopg2-binary module for you for Python 3.12 on Johnny, since you'll be using Flask.

That domain is your main domain. What domain would you like to have as your new main domain? Please note, if you intend to make one of your existing addon domains your new main domain, an account reset will be required. This is because, in every case when users have switched their main domain with an addon domain, the rapid adding and deleting of DNS records ends up breaking their account in some irreparable way, causing an account reset to be necessary to fix it anyway. You can read more about that in the Wiki here: https://wiki.helionet.org/Changing_Your_Main_Domain#Account_Reset_is_Required_to_Swap_Main_and_Addon_Domain Please let us know how you want to proceed.

The 941 MB backup has been deleted, and your storage usage is now 959 MB which is barely under the 1000 MB limit. Are you able to login now? Since you're so close to the limit I would still suggest upgrading your storage at https://heliohost.org/dashboard/storage/ or delete some unneeded files.

Domain added. It can take up to 2 hours to start working.

Thank you very much for your quick reply, I really appreciate it

The email is legit, but it comes from trustpilot directly so we don't have any control over the language used in them. They always say purchase, even if it was a donation or even a free user. It's just a request for a review. These have a chance of being sent whenever our system sends an email to you, in your case that review request actually was triggered by the terms of service update.

On hosting accounts, secure shell access (SSH) is disabled for security reasons. In many cases, SSH is not actually necessary. If you let us know the command you want to run, we can investigate other ways to accomplish the same task without SSH. You can read more about this on our Wiki: https://wiki.helionet.org/FAQ#Can_I_use_SSH? If you absolutely require SSH access, you will need a VPS: https://heliohost.org/vps/

The fact you posted from the matching forum account with matching email is all we need. Your account is being reset. You'll receive an email when the process completes containing a link to create a new account. If you need any of your old data, it will be available for download at https://heliohost.org/backup/ once the reset finishes.

Is there any particular reason you can't use Python 3.12?

We're updating our Terms of Service. Our Terms explain what you can expect from us when using our services, and what we expect from you as a user of our services. You can find the updated Terms at the following URL: https://heliohost.org/terms Our policy is to make a news post each time we make changes to the Terms of Service to give you plenty of time to review the changes and opt out of the changes if you wish to. What is changing: * California recently passed legislation making casino or gambling websites that use real money or cryptocurrency illegal. Since our servers are located in that state, we are required to comply with the new laws. * The Tommy and Johnny servers use Plesk non-profit licenses, so commercial websites are not allowed on those plans. If your business is just starting out, you can set up your website on the free hosting, but we will periodically review your account. If we decide that your business no longer counts as a micro-business, we will require you to move to Morty or a VPS. * For people who choose to run paid software, our policy has always been to ask for proof of purchase to make sure the paid software is legally licensed. We're adding this policy to our Terms of Service, so users are aware prior to installation that providing proof will be required. * It really should be common sense not to attack your own website and attack your own host, but not everyone has common sense unfortunately, so we're adding it to our Terms of Service that you can't stress test your own website. What this means for you: Our Terms have been updated to reflect these changes and go into effect on March 31st, 2026. If you agree to these Terms, no further action is needed, and you can continue using our services as you always have. By continuing to use our websites or the services you receive after that date, you agree to the updated Terms We hope that you'll agree to our Terms and continue to use HelioHost. If you don't want to accept the changes, you can choose to leave HelioHost by deleting your account and no longer accessing or using our services. We would be sad to see you go though.

We have to add it for you. What domain do you want added?

DKIM, SPF, and DMARC have been set up for the domain logospres.heliohost.us. We recommend sending a real email (not just the word "test" or a blank email) to https://www.mail-tester.com/ to make sure that everything is set up correctly. If you get less than a 10/10 score please post a link to the full report so we can help you fix any other issues that there may be.

I think I was able to get everything back up and running... Thank you guys for thinking ahead and automatically doing a site and database bk when moving accounts to a new server. We can close this support request email now.

Hello! I've added that domain to your account for you. Please note that it may take up to 2 hours for the domain change to take effect, and it will not work until you set up your DNS with your domain registrar. To configure your DNS, please see the steps provided on our Wiki to either set NS records pointed at the HelioHost nameservers, or create A/AAAA records and point them to your server's IPv4/IPv6 address: https://wiki.helionet.org/Addon_Domains#Custom_Addon_Domains If after a full 2 hours it doesn't work on your side, please make sure you clear your web browser cache: https://wiki.helionet.org/Clear_Your_Cache

WSGI control access has been enabled on the domain carcareus.com. To restart your Django app and load new code changes in simply edit /home/nrchoudhari.heliohost.us/carcareus.com/config/dispatch.wsgi. Adding a blank line, removing a blank line, adding a space, or removing a space are examples of editing the file. As long as the last modified timestamp changes it will clear the server cache. Let us know if you run into any issues.

The hourly limit has been set to 100 and the daily limit has been set to 500.

You're actually at 8/5 domains for your plan. Would you like to remove some domains, or upgrade to a plan that allows more domains?

It looks like you were already on Morty, and for some reason on 2026-03-11 you decided to downgrade to Tommy. I can move you back to Morty for free if you want, and you already have a balance of $16.38 which should last you about 16 months as long as you don't have any load overages.

This issue appears to be resolved now that the protection has been disabled and apache has restarted. Your site is now working.

WSGI Control Access is only available on the Morty server, or a VPS. You can read more information about it here: https://wiki.helionet.org/Flask#Request_WSGI_Control_Access

The PHP max_input_vars on your domain as been changed to 3500.
