Yeah, it's not possible to just name a random domain name that you don't own and have it work. If this was possible, I'd own google.com by now and it'd just have a bunch of raccoon photos on the website. If you want a custom domain name, you will need to purchase it from a domain registrar. HelioHost has an affiliate agreement with Namecheap, so if you're in the market for a new domain we highly recommend purchasing it from them: https://wiki.helionet.org/What_HelioHost_is_Not#Namecheap If you want a free HelioHost domain, there was information about this in the Wiki link provided to you in my last post.If the link did not work for you when you clicked on it, please let me know what error message you received, so we can investigate this further: https://wiki.helionet.org/Addon_Domains#How_can_I_create_an_Addon_Domain? To get a free domain name, please provide: Your hosting account username The full addon domain name you want, including the top-level domain (TLD): To use a free HelioHost's domain, specify either helioho.st or heliohost.us

How to get a free domain name? The domain name I used was just random, and it doesn’t work.

commentaire avoir un nom de domaine gratuit le nom de domaine que je proposer est un hazard ça ne passe pas.

Dear Heliohost team, please add the domain taoismchinese.com , i am in the Tommy plan. my user is lismo. thank you

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

Hello! my username is clairesoukup can you help me add the domain romusikfest.se ? thank you!

I've changed the main domain on your account to fincollecterp.cd. 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/Changing_Your_Main_Domain#Custom_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 Since there is a risk of data loss when main domains are changed, I made a full account backup for you before I made the changes, in case you need any files from the old domain. 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

I was unaware that I had violated the terms of service. I am truly sorry.

Main domain changed. It can take up to 2 hours to start working.

Hello! There was no Johnny crash earlier today that I'm aware of. Server issues are usually shared in the News channel at: https://helionet.org/index/forum/1-news/ Maybe your website was down for a few minutes earlier due to the Apache server restarts, which happen every 2 hours. You can read more about them in our technical documentation Wiki here: https://wiki.helionet.org/502_Bad_Gateway The page also includes information on how you can upgrade your hosting service if you wish to reduce or remove the impact of the 2-hour Apache restarts. Please be aware when using free AI translators that they tend to add excess flowery language ("It was truly impressive", "who shares that same spirit of selfless service—is truly a dream come true") and emdashes which can be boring and tiring to read. All staff are unpaid volunteers who donate their free time to help users. We truly don't mind if you make some typos or if English isn't your first language. As long as we can understand your request, we're happy to help. Some of us do not need or want the effusive verbosity of AI generated text, and might actively avoid reading it, which can risk delays in actioning your requests. When checking your account, I notice you used a disposable email address on your HelioHost account. Please re-read our Terms of Service at https://heliohost.org/terms/, specifcially the line: I have removed the disposable email from your account and changed it to match the Gmail address associated with your forum account. If you revert to using a disposable email address on your account, you risk having your account suspended. Finally, another staff member has the domain changes in progress, so they'll update this thread to confirm once the changes have been made. Thanks!

I have started the rebuild, and you'll get an email in 10-30 minutes when it is complete. Your next free rebuild will be available on 2026-05-24. If you need a rebuild before then they can be purchased for $1 each.

It was. It's in the invite list even though it didn't actually send. I just resent it.

This support request is being escalated to our VPS admins.

Yes you can buy extra VPS rebuilds if you want them. If I remember right they're $1 each. The vps158.heliohost.us domain as well as any others you've had us set up DNS for will remain valid after the rebuild (though of course you'll need to install and configure whatever software you need on the VPS for them to work). Escalating to have the rebuild processed.

Hello. I would to request to start fresh for VPS158 under user339058. I understand this service is limited to just once per month. May I know if it is available more than once per month, perhaps as a cost option? Is the domain tied to the VPS retained after a rebuild?

Hi HelioHost Team, I'm ryotagtagtag, currently active on the Johnny server. I would like to make a final adjustment to my server configuration. Request: Please add the domain ryopc.qzz.io to my account and set it as my Primary (Main) Domain. (I have already pointed the A record to 64.62.151.106.) I want my volunteer network "ryopc" to be officially recognized under this custom domain as its primary identity. On a final note, I want to express my sincere gratitude to the entire HelioHost team. It was truly impressive to see Johnny bounce back in just 4 minutes after the crash earlier today. Your dedication as a non-profit organization is exactly what the modern internet needs. I am building "ryopc" to provide free, professional-level support to PC users, and finding a partner like HelioHost—who shares that same spirit of selfless service—is truly a dream come true.Thank you for your , your incredible "10,000 CPU" power, and for being the best non-profit host in the world! Best regards, ryotagtagtag

is it the same email as the account you are posting this on?

Happy New LTS Ubuntu Day! To those who celebrate the holiday anyways. The resolute raccoon just showed up at HelioHost and demanded a spot on our VPS operating system list, so we were happy to add him. He's too darn cute to say no to. For those who don't know what is going on, every two years in April the Ubuntu operating system releases their new long term support stable version, and it always has a cute animal name with an alliteration adjective. Two years ago it was noble numbat, which sounds suspiciously uncute until you google it, and now it's resolute raccoon, which everyone can agree is about as cute as it gets. We've added Ubuntu 26 to our custom VPS OS selection. Since it's so new, it will be a few months before we make it the default though. If you choose any of the VPS options that aren't on the custom page it will continue to build with Ubuntu 24 for now. If you have an existing VPS you can request a free rebuild to try out the new version if you want, but make sure all of your software that you're planning on running supports it. We've also added AlmaLinux 10, Rocky 10, and Debian 13 for the people who prefer those operating systems. Let us know if you have any questions about the new OS options.

While trying to signup for the HelioHost account, though I was able to get to the sign up page, huwever, I received an error message after entering my email address and pressing submit button. Error said, we couldn't send the email. Please see the attached screenshot in the email I sent in this regards. Thanks and regards, Dev Arya
