We're happy to announce that new account signups are beginning today. One year ago today without any warning we lost our cPanel licenses that we had been using for over 16 years. HelioHost has been through good times and bad, and the last year is definitely the worst we've experienced. We're coming back bigger and better than ever though. Starting today we will be sending out invites to create a new account on Plesk starting with our biggest donors over the last two years. You can check your ETA and check the current number of invites we are sending out each day at https://www.heliohost.org/eta/ If you're not on the list let us know and we can add you. We will be sending out only 1 invite per day for a few days to make sure everything is working, and then we will increase the number of invites each day as everything gets tested. A huge thanks goes out to all of our donors who have kept HelioHost alive through the last year.

We've updated https://heliohost.org to allow logins to Plesk. There have also been countless improvements under the hood to make the homepage faster and more secure. The main difference though is our main website is now running on PHP 8.0, but up until a few minutes ago was running on PHP 5.4 which lost active support almost 8 years ago. We have a lot more changes coming soon such as password resets, changing your main domain, upgrading your storage, deleting your account, load graphs, and a lot more through your new hosting dashboard. We've also made some massive improvements to our VPS signup process that should result in less confusion, and make things easier for VPS customers. We've also added a very basic VPS dashboard which is mostly just links to post your support requests on the forum, but eventually you will be able upgrade your VPS, reinstall your OS, set up reverse DNS, cancel your subscription, and a lot more through the website. Let us know what you think about the new functionality, and if you see anything broken please let us know. Thanks for being a part of the HelioHost community.

Unfortunately Moodle 4.x is not available through Plesk's application installer yet. I just ran the update check on it, and the latest offering for Moodle is 3.10.10-156. These application installer tools sometimes take a few months to catch up when applications update, and I know back with Softaculous on cPanel, sometimes it never caught up at all. You'll need to either use 3.x through the installer or manually install 4.x from their website.
