All HelioHost Staff are Volunteers Helio Networks dba HelioHost is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose mission is to provide free or low cost web hosting, and all of our staff are volunteers. We all have full time jobs and lives outside of this project. We run this organization in our free time, and if we don't have very much free time things don't get done very quickly. Most for-profit hosting companies have a staff of full time employees who sit around providing support and working 40 hours a week. It's very rare for any of our volunteers to work more than an hour or so each day. None of our volunteers are required to log a certain number of hours and may come and go as they please. If we aren't having fun volunteering, providing support, chatting with the community, and developing new features then we take a break and do things that are more fun for us. This is why we don't have SLAs or ETAs for new features or repairs, and this is why things move a little slower than a for-profit company that you might be used to dealing with. ETA for Support Requests All HelioHost staff are unpaid volunteers, so there is no guaranteed timeframe for a response to support requests. Help is generally provided within 24 hours, but this can vary for multiple reasons: Time zone differences (most staff are based in North America) Real-life commitments: Work School Family For more information on ETAs (and why we do not offer them), please see: https://wiki.helionet.org/ETA

Domain added, it'll take effect in about twenty minutes. You'll need to create an A/AAAA record to Tommy's IP address or switch to HelioHost's nameservers (if you haven't already) for the domain to work.

brother i just wanted to take backup of my site i make and trying to host on helio host i feel it difficult to use helio host .like remove a folder or file is always not working, i request you to just unsuspend my account only for 2 days so that i can backup my work.

Glad to hear that you figured it out.

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

Your account has been reset, so you'll need to recreate it using the link sent to your email address. If you own that domain, we can certainly add it for you. We can add up to ten custom domains for you, but unless you request .heliohost.us or .helioho.st domains, you'll need to purchase one from a domain registrar.

Thanks!

You were originally suspended for possibly have more than one account, after further investigation on our end we determined that you are using a shared IP address with another user so your account has been unsuspended.

Oh, that would explain it. An exclusion for the shared IP has been added. Please let us know if you need anything else.

Main domain changed and new domain added. it can take up to 2 hours for the new domains to start working.

You've also created a request here: https://helionet.org/index/topic/65534-regarding-domain-add-remove/ Please note that creating duplicate requests can lead to delays in responses to you. Please see here for more details: https://wiki.helionet.org/FAQ#Where_do_I_ask_for_help?

You're very welcome! 🙂 Please let us know if we can help with anything else!

Yes, I definitely do need a backup of my files, thanks for asking! Let me do that and get back to you once it's been completed.

Thank you !

I've reset your account as requested. You should receive an email shortly so you can take the next steps to recreate it. If you only want the 1 domain online.helioho.st then please enter that when the account signup form asks you to choose a domain and if it's available, it will become your new main domain. If you want the online domain added as a 2nd domain, please let us know when you've recreated your account, and we can add it as a 2nd domain for you at that point. 🙂 I made a backup before the reset, so if you discover you need any of your old files, you can download the backup here: https://heliohost.org/backup If you're not sure how to extract the backup files, please follow our how-to guide here: https://wiki.helionet.org/Account_Backups

With the colon. Gmail search should let you do "filename:<extension>" to find emails with files that have a given extension.

It looks like you deleted your reset link by trying to signup again with the same email address. I sent you a new invite link to recreate your account.

You've probably heard of Apache and Nginx, but have you heard about Caddy? In this video we show you how to install the Caddy webserver software on your VPS. Caddy is known for issuing SSL certificates automatically, and being easier to configure than his more famous relatives. It's worth checking out! https://youtu.be/Vq-cKnQGevU It's been a bit since we released a new video, but hopefully you enjoy this one. Some users find it much easier to follow a video guide rather than reading the text guides we have at https://wiki.helionet.org/ Please let us know if there is a specific topic that you think would be good for our next video. Also if you don't mind subscribing to our YouTube channel that would be a great way to get some free advertising. We are a small non-profit funded by donations so we don't have a huge budget to afford paid advertising, so the more word of mouth recommendations, the more social media likes, and the more subscribes we can get goes a long ways towards finding more users and continuing to grow. Even if you can't donate, this is a great way to help us for free. Thanks!

Thanks for the information
