You won't be able to choose any other OS than what is listed and you cannot use your own isos. if you would like to request an OS we can probably upload it and have it added to the available OSes. Don't know the answer to the 2nd question, Krydos or wolstech can offer a better answer on that than i can.

1. Yes, in fact you can have a VPS and a tommy account simultaneously. 2. Debian isn't a common OS that users order for a VPS so we don't really add a new release unless necessary (such as an OS going EOL). Ubuntu is recommend because it's more user friendly and easier to use than Debian, also with Ubuntu it will install itself unlike Debian which requires a manual build which can take a while depending on what time you order the VPS. AlmaLinux is the only other self install OS 3. Yes you can change the OS at anytime. 4. Yes as long as you are not sending spam or anything. 5. Yes, you will be able to upgrade by clicking the upgrade button of your VPS account on the heliohost.org page. 6. The VPS would try to renew on the due date. if it fails, we'll let it retry for 5 days then on the 6th day, we'll email you and ask if you would like to setup a new subscription. if the email is ignored, then the VPS will be shut down and we'll hold onto the data for 36 days in case you would like to come back. if you ever need more time to make a payment, we would be more than welcome to give you an extension until you are able to do so.

Backups deleted. I also disabled the scheduled job so it doesn't just immediately fill up again tonight when it runs. The account might take up to 2 hours to start working again.

Your new payment has been linked to your VPS and it has been powered back on. If you're having issues making a payment just tell us that and we can keep your VPS powered on for some extra time. If you ignore our emails and don't say anything to us we assume you've abandoned your VPS and just power it off to save server resources for paying customers.

Once again, we don't know which account is yours, so I can't be sure. However, if you're based in Iran (or any of the other countries the US prohibits doing business with), then yes. Here's a link to our terms of service if you'd like to read it for yourself: https://wiki.helionet.org/hosting/terms.

You can do this yourself, refer to this wiki article for details: https://wiki.helionet.org/MariaDB#User_Section

Thanks for your quick response!

Your website looks fine to me. A root administrator was conducting some server maintenance earlier, so you may have seen that error as a result, but it's fine now. If you're still seeing the SNI error, clear your browser cache.

Account texu has been unsuspended. It might take a few minutes to work again. If you need more than the 10 domains you already have, you can purchase a paid account here: https://heliohost.org/morty/ Each paid account is good for 10 additional domains, and is valid as long as you keep the bill paid. Creating another account that is not on Morty will result in a ban.

Domain removed.

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

Account texu has been unsuspended. It might take a few minutes to work again. All of your subdomains are still attached to it.

That account can't have domains added because it's currently suspended for violating the multiple account policy. Any accounts beyond your first MUST be on Morty, which requires a recurring fee. You already have a free account (texu) on Johnny. It is not possible to have more than 10 domains without a paid Morty account.

Hello! I've added those subdomains to your account for you. You may see the folders for them inside Plesk soon, but it may take up to 2 hours for them to work completely. This is because an Apache restart is needed to finalize domain changes, and the restart begins every 2 hours or so. If after a full 2 hours the new subdomains don'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 unsuspended.

You had several backups taking up a total of about 741 MB of space. I deleted those for you. If you have some scheduled backups you may want to disable those, or script them so they send the backup somewhere external because any undeleted backups count towards your 1000 MB limit. If 1000 MB isn't enough you can increase the storage space yourself with the link MoneyBroz posted. Are you able to login now?

Your account was suspended because you exceeded your storage limit. You have 3 options to regain access to your account: You are able to regain access to your account immediately without waiting for an admin by increasing your account's storage space. This storage space upgrade is good for the life of the account, and has no monthly cost. Tell us which files you would like deleted and an admin can delete them for you to get you back under your current storage limit. If you're not sure which files are taking up all of your space an admin can provide a detailed storage space usage report for you. We can also reset your account for you which deletes all files, deletes all settings, and restores your account back to the default state with 0 MB of storage usage.

Account has been reset, you should receive an email to recreate your account shortly.

This sort of traffic is basically normal for any website that's been around for more than a few weeks. It's almost entirely malicious bots that are searching for things like a vulnerable Wordpress installation to break into or configuration files with database credentials so they can steal your data. The nginx errors are usually because the server is overloaded. That's pretty normal for Johnny when server load is up. Apache restarts can also cause these. They're less of an issue on Tommy and nonexistent on Morty. We generally just advise users to block unwanted traffic like this in .htaccess if they are causing load issues, though in your case you said they're hitting nonexistent files and getting 404 errors, which cause so little load that you likely won't even see it register on the load chart. We do not have an edge firewall or similar (we can't afford one due to our funding structure), though the server itself has a software firewall that we've used in severe cases to address an account under attack. If you're would like, you can also file an abuse report with the owners of the incoming IP addresses in question. You'll need to find the company that owns the IP (pretty easy to do by googling it), then follow whatever that company provides for an abuse complaint. I've had success reporting addresses that are based in the US and EU, but you're unlikely to receive responses from hosting companies in countries like Russia and China (if they even accept abuse reports), where this sort of activity is tolerated (if not legal).

I've added those subdomains to your account for you. Please note that it may take up to 2 hours for the changes to take effect. If after a full 2 hours they don't work on your side, please make sure you clear your web browser cache: https://wiki.helionet.org/Clear_Your_Cache

I just did some research on this, and even ignoring the "Why?" aspect of this, the behavior of .phps (colorized source view) is apparently a function specifically provided by the mod_php module for apache. It's not a function of PHP itself. Since Plesk does not use the apache module, this isn't supported. Your best bet is going to be a solution like Krydos suggested: Write a PHP script that displays another script's contents. Once you have that, you can probably be creative with .htaccess rewrite rules to make calls for .phps files redirect to that script with the requested file as a parameter to emulate the behavior.

Yeah, I don't really understand why you're even doing this. Why not make a PHP file that reads the contents of another .php, and displays the contents? That seems infinitely easier, and more secure. For instance, index_source.php could show the source of index.php.

Thank you so much for updating my main domain and creating a backup beforehand—I really appreciate your help and care. I’ll follow the DNS instructions and wait for the changes to take effect. Your free hosting service makes a huge difference for students and developers like me.

I've changed the main domain on 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/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 theold 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

You probably need to reissue the cert with the webmail option enabled. Once you do that, wait another 2 hours and it should work. In the meantime, you should be able to click advanced and continue anyway to ignore the error and access the webmail.

It's just not supported. Plesk doesn't officially have the listings enabled by default, so we made changes to have it do that (it was the same behavior our old cPanel servers had, we were tired of support tickets to explain the 403 error that Plesk showed by default, users preferred it and often asked for them to be enabled, and it often makes abuse stand out since they wouldn't hide the listing and leave files like "script phising.zip" in their root...yes that was a real file we found). Specifically, we forced it in the Apache config. Apache doesn't always let you override that option for some reason (the Options line in general doesn't very work well on Plesk). The easiest way to accomplish this on our service is to just put an empty index.html in the folder...

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

Domain changed. Please be sure to configure DNS. It can take up to 2 hours for the domain to work. You can request the certificates for softhauz.ca yourself in Plesk once the domain starts working. Also, in the future, please post these requests over in the Customer Service section. Forum sections that are not Customer Service or Questions are not routinely viewed by staff, and posting support requests in those sections may result in a delayed or no response.

This support request is being escalated to our root admins.

Dear Heliohost crew, I needed VPS closer geographically, that is, in Europe, and currently don't need a service in USA. Thank you for being my first provider, thanks to you I was able to host stuff for myself and friends. Until next time

If you want to use HelioHost's nameservers, please use ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org. We have a guide here on how to set things up in Namecheap: https://wiki.helionet.org/Namecheap_DNS_Records For the VPS email issue, I'll drop some info in the other thread you raised for that here: https://helionet.org/index/topic/64883-vps-ubuntu-email-conf/

Krydos can verify the payment and do this for you.

Stop creating multiple topics for one issue, your question has already been answered so if you want to reply then reply in the original topic instead.

We have a guide here on how to set up email inside Hestia control panel running on a VPS: https://wiki.helionet.org/VPS_Email Please give that a try and let us know if you get stuck.
