once you have Composer installed and all that, try something like

`composer require wn-builder-plugin` (that's a guess, btw)

Good luck!

However, the written guide on your website seems a bit outdated in comparison. I'm willing to offer some brief suggestions to help improve the guide's clarity and accuracy, if you're open to it.

Let me know if you're interested, and I'll be glad to assist.

Best regards,

I already donated in the past and have the maxed 2000MB storage, but I think a monthly donation of even $1/month would be more helpful to you guys than the random $5 donations from you sending an email.

 

With that context, I have a two-pronged question:

  • Can you add support for Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), to eliminate card transaction fees and send money directly from my bank account to Heliohost's bank account?
  • If not, which of your existing options minimizes fees for you? PayPal takes a 2.2% fee for registered 501(c­)(3) organizations, Skrill appears to take a 1.45% fee, and credit cards also have merchant fees, but I don't know which is the lowest fee for you. Cryptocurrency is another option of course, but I'm not sure what fees I'd end up paying to convert my USD to BTC, Aeon, ETN, or XMR and then finally get it transferred to you.
Most of the other 501(c­)(3) organizations to which I donate accept EFT, minimizing fees. With family and friends, I use Zelle which has zero fees. I did some googling and I while I have no experience with accepting payments, I chatted with a rep (Danielle) from Host Merchant Services and it sounds like they might be able to help you at low cost. You can get a free quote from https://www.hostmerchantservices.com/lowest-rates. I have no affiliation with them so if you can find another provider with better fees, of course, you should use them instead. But if Host Merchant Services can lower your fees, I'd love to donate through them instead!

 

Of course, accepting EFT sounds to me like it could be a big task especially considering how few donors you likely have, and if that's the case please let me know and I'll happily send you money using whatever other option is best for you.

 

Thanks again for providing your wonderful service!

When i go to https://www.heliohost.org/donate i see options as Paypal and Skrillit

When i just for checking "test" point mouse on Paypal i see the link: https://paypal.me/heliohost/ but on Skrillit i see https://www.skrill.com/skrillit/?locale=en-us . So by comparing i see on one hand an url with the word "Heliohost" on the other hand "i dont see the word" (heliohost). Wich at some point could question the peoples that would like to make some donations, because on one hand it is writen "Heliohost" and the other "no url heliohost".

Seem that both services require to create or have some account linked to the user money. So if there is some security issue (linked to the company "or" security issue of the users), then some bad intents of some peoples could access the user money. I suggest that you would add some other company to donate, that (dont need create/have accounts) to make some donations. Maybe GoFundMe (dont know how it work) or some others.

It's just plain text, so I'm attaching it here rather than pasting it in:   sshfs_for_ricky.txt

It would make one click donations avalable to all Brave browser users. I think it would be simple considering you already have a BAT wallet (I suppose with uphold) that you could connect to your heliohost.org domain or your github (probably simpler since you only have to log in with it). Anyway, the program's url is creators.brave.com. Thank you.

A lot of people want a simple yet powerful website builder. When you advertise that you can host WordPress then you can attract more visitors and donations. I know you advertise Softaculous, but not everybody knows what softaculous is, but a lot of people know what WordPress is. I know that there is a thread saying to advertise site publisher, but WordPress is WAYYYYYY BETTER than cPanel site publisher with better features. A suggestion what it should look like is in the attached file.

4) Press next and then choose "a custom network location"

 

5) If you see an input with "Internet or network address", enter https or http (if you have ssl certificate on and then you have https enabled, choose http) and then enter this in the input "https://webdisk.(INSERTYOURWEBSITELINKHERE.DOMAIN)" (e.g. https://webdisk.domain.com/) and then press the next button
