The basic process is: Request the domain be added to your account here, wait 2 hours, then change the name servers at your domain registrar to our name servers (ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org). Once the DNS updates propagate, you'll see the site you have hosted on Tommy instead of the site you have at your old hosting company (it can sometimes take a few hours before everyone sees the change, DNS doesn't update instantly). Note that we are not a domain registrar, so you can't handle the actual domain registration through us, only the hosting. If you are using the old hosting company for domain registration as well as hosting, you'll want to transfer the domain to a standalone registrar (we recommend Namecheap), then set the domain to use our name servers in the new registrar's control panel.

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.
