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

DNS recreated.

We don't really rename domains, we add the new one and remove the old one. I've now added ursafe.heliohost.us to your account. Please give it up to 2 hours to start working. Because of the maintenance and repairs that are ongoing, we cannot yet remove domains. Once we can remove them, either myself or another member of staff will remove the butangfindr one from your account and update this thread to let you know.

First of all, sorry for the long downtime on our main website. Over the past few years our main database has just been getting slower and slower. It was last rebuilt in 2017 so it was well overdue for an upgrade. A few days ago the main database was so slow that we decided to take it offline, and rebuild it with a modern operating system and up-to-date software. We expected the downtime to last a few hours, but then during the upgrade everything fell apart. While Cody was down, his twin brother Brody got so sad he died too. This happens sometimes with twins because they can't live without each other, which is cute but also very tragic. So then, with both a dead Cody and a dead Brody, we had no nameservers, no main database, no website, no forum, no wiki, etc etc etc. But here at HelioHost we never give up. No matter how many servers explode, or how many evil for-profit corporations try to destroy us we will never give up. It took a few days, but our main website is back online, both of our nameservers are back online, our forum is working again, and a lot of the stuff going on behind the scenes are working again too. That said, there is still plenty of stuff that isn't working yet. The main issue seems to be that during the upgrade of the nameservers a lot of DNS zones got lost, so some websites are offline. If your domain gives a DNS error when you try to visit it in a browser let us know and we can take a look. It usually only takes a few seconds to recreate the DNS for you. We're still working on getting everything functional again, but we're making progress. Thanks for everyone's patience during this crazy rebuild.

Thank You!! Working again!

Thank you so much to bothbof your for your great support and have a great day!

Our old nameservers broke, and we had to transfer all of the zone records to the new DNS servers. It seems like some of the zone records didn't get transferred correctly though. I flagged your post in the Staff channel, and the DNS has been recreated for you. Your website loads for me now. If you can't see it, please try clearing your browser cache. If you're a Discord user, you can keep an eye on the HelioHost #News channel for updates when maintenance is happening. If you haven't yet joined the Discord, here's the link to join if you want. For other users who may see this post: If your website is down and it says DNS_PROBE or some similar error please let us know (by making a new post in the support section at: HelioHost > Customer Service) which domain(s) of yours is having the problem, so the DNS can be recreated for you.

I had an issue trying to add the domain, probably related to the repairs/maintenance that's still ongoing. Just thought I'd reply so you know your post wasn't missed. I'll try again later to add your domain, unless another member of staff does it first. We'll update this thread again once it's been done. Sorry for the delay and thanks for your patience.

Thank you so much !?

Main Domain changed, it can take up to 2 hours to start working. You can download a backup of your account before the change at https://heliohost.org/backup

When asking for a domain to be added, please make sure to provide the full addon domain name you want, including the top-level domain (TLD): If you're using HelioHost's domains, specify either helioho.st or heliohost.us If you've purchased a custom domain, specify the TLD (such as .com, .net, etc.) Since your current main domain is one of the free HelioHost domains ending heliohost.us, I guessed that you meant you wanted butangfindr.heliohost.us added, and I have now added this to your account. Please note that it may take up to 2 hours for the domain change to take effect. 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 If this is not the domain you wanted added, please confirm the full domain including TLD. You can find more details on how to request addon domains, and all the details that should be included in your request, in our technical documentation Wiki site on this page: https://wiki.helionet.org/Addon_Domains#How_can_I_create_an_Addon_Domain?

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

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

Domains added. They can take up to 2 hours to function.

DKIM, SPF, and DMARC have been set up for the domain ekm.helioho.st. 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.

An administrator can configure DKIM for you. In the meantime, you can try sending a sample email to https://www.mail-tester.com/ and see what it suggests to improve your email delivery performance.

Thank you so much. I'm not used to this whole customer service thing. I remember the old days when I would do it myself (and often get mixed up between addon domains and subdomains)

Thanks ! ☺️

No worries, thanks for clarifying. I've added that domain for you, it'll take effect in about 10 minutes. If you haven't switched to HelioHost's nameservers, you'll need to create an A/AAAA record to Johnny's IP address.

Main domain changed. it can take up to 2 hours for the new domain to start working. Since changing a domain has a risk of data loss, you can download a backup of your account before the domain was changed at https://heliohost.org/backup

OK, I will stay with .top domain. Thank You very much for help. Thats all from me.

Yes. Thank you very much.

OK Thanks, I wait for help in this thread.

Hi all, I've managed to follow the link again and create an account thanks for the quick responses

Looks like the Apache restart finished or has been unstuck, though the server is still seeing quite a bit of load. Your website is currently up.

Apache looks like it got stuck while restarting as there's a large number of other maintenance tasks piled up behind the restart in the queue. I'm waiting for a response in a staff channel about it...

Your account has been unsuspended and the mailbox passwords for all of your mailboxes have been randomized. You'll need to reset your mailbox passwords to use them. I also removed the forwarder from diretoria@escolasmt address. Forwarded emails count as sent messages (and you had 4 recipients, so each email it received caused 4 emails to be sent). We highly recommend not using forwarders, as just receiving mail will cause you to exceed your mail limit through no fault of your own. Users are limited to 50 sent emails per day for the entire account, so with that forwarder, receiving just 13 emails would've caused you to exceed the limit.

Yes we do. It can be configured via .htaccess.

Please be aware that replying to your own case will delay response time, as our system moves you to the back of the line each time a reply is added. Also, when the contents of a post contains the typical characteristics of AI-generated content (very wordy and verbose, predictable paragraph structure), this can be less interesting for our human volunteers to read and respond to. All staff are real humans. We like to read and reply to posts made by real humans, even if they contain spelling mistakes or errors if English is not a person's first language. All those human staff members are unpaid volunteers who assist here in their free time. They have responsibilities outside of HelioHost such as a full time job. They are not always online to read forum posts. In the meantime, please ensure you review our support response timelines (SLAs and ETAs), at: https://wiki.helionet.org/ETA For guidance on how Community-Powered Technical Support works, visit: https://wiki.helionet.org/FAQ#How_does_community-powered_support_work? Help is generally provided within 24 hours, and we encourage users to bump their requests if it's been more than 24 hours with no response, in case we missed it somehow. Our best efforts to respond within 24 hours can be impacted by several factors, including but not limited to: Time zone differences (most staff are based in North America) Work School Family Other real-life commitments Please be patient until you receive a response, as we work cases in the order received with the oldest requests first.

Your account was suspended for sending 1117 emails. Can you explain how this happened?

Domains added, they'll take effect in about forty five minutes.

Account has been reset, and a new invite has been sent to your email address. You can also download a backup of your account before the reset at https://heliohost.org/backup

Domain changed, it'll take effect in about 70 minutes. If you're not using HelioHost's nameservers, you'll need to create a new A/AAAA record to Johnny's IP address for it to work.

IP unblocked.

This support request is being escalated to our root admins.

Hello! Domains like "helio.st" are not available in our free domains. I've guessed that you meant "familybudget.helioho.st" and added that one. Please note that it may take up to 2 hours for the domain change to take effect. 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 I also removed the familiybudget and api.familiybudget subdomains as requested. Please note there is a risk of data loss when domains are removed, since the folder for the domain inside Plesk will be deleted. I made a full account backup for you before I removed the subdomains, in case you need any of the 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

The load specifically was because you left an SFTP session open. My guess is you opened a connection, uploaded something, and then just left the FTP client running and forgot about it. Please make sure you’re disconnecting from SFTP when you’re finished using it.

Oh...legacy account. Yeah old cPanel accounts used to do that (put addon docroots inside the main domain docroot). We typically recommend just resetting the account if its old enough to be set up that way because of all the weird bugs these accounts usually have, but the fact you both would lose your legacy .org domain (the new account would be keibeeit.heliohost.us since the .org ones are now limited to staff), have third party email DNS set up manually by us, and have an (also really old) Lily account attached to it that would need to be manually fixed after resetting make resetting kind of impractical if the account otherwise works. The document root for domain keibee-it.com has been moved to ~/keibee-it.com for you and will take effect within the next 2 hours. It may show a 404 error or other strange behavior until then.

Here are the DNS records gab.pt.eu.org. 14400 IN TXT "v=spf1 ip4:64.62.151.106 ip6:2001:470:1:1ee::2009 ~all" _dmarc 14400 IN TXT "v=DMARC1; p=quarantine" _domainkey.gab.pt.eu.org. 14400 IN TXT "o=-" default._domainkey.gab.pt.eu.org. 14400 IN TXT ( "v=DKIM1; k=rsa; p=MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAlhoaveQHXrnhdK5QpkflFQXGGchTtTizdX3qnpBLQjPvOi4PNkgA2Rn2G9AYDg9z8MFH86l+MOYuOy9gOhoVHMZvVtDM5i+g/YOfKz3l5YxNb8+ltLjivU2541UyryG6leONKkOb2+mWC2vZJ7o3+Wl0G6pXHuo8xZC03t6F8ywjFoD3lbJbutc+tc+yXJIrA" "cyEAOhdk0KdRvK/RDlVJQS02F/eXEovAnwU/lGYEifYuLelEtpxiplCAT2oMFkSRbzxqsvg990jbAdrtaHgmIicRal3P53VJJGQ3v+21dJFKjkwgAxve94FaXchvJSUKonQn/VBnuXgWXJQsIvPvQIDAQAB;" ) You can either change your NS records to ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org or copy those into your external DNS provider.

You can temporarily change the nameservers to ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org and once DKIM, SPF and DMARC have been setup on the domain, you can just copy the records for use with cloudflare and switch the nameservers back after you're finished. Escalating so a root admin can setup the records for you.
