That would need to be implemented yet. It's just an idea we've been floating for a while. We haven't decided officially if this is a route we want to go, or what the prices would be if we do (the numbers I gave were based on your example).

 

I'll move this over to Escalated so Krydos remembers to look at it again since there's interest here

Ok. Probably you'll send us an email about it... I'll wait for that !

That'd be another alternative. Basically the same principle but paid up front. Could also offer a discount for doing that. $2/month, or $20/year.

Excelnt. Like a Premium Account.... Perfect to me !! Do you guys need to implement that on servers, or can I donate today ?

Logging in every 30 days is how we check to see if you still need your website. Since we're a free hosting provider thousands of people create accounts and then never log in again. The system automatically suspends these abandoned accounts to reduce server load, and if the owner still doesn't renew their account they eventually get deleted to make room for other people who are still using their accounts.

 

We're all for removing the annoyances of hosting a website on our service though. Since we've been struggling to pay the bills lately we've been brainstorming ideas to earn more revenue and donations. One idea is a user could set up a recurring monthly donation of any amount that they feel our service is worth from $1.00 USD or up. Much less than one dollar and paypal takes all of the money as fees so we don't get anything. As long as the monthly donation isn't canceled the recurring donor would never need to log in to their account again. If the recurring donation is canceled then you would go back to needing to log in once every 30 days or less. Is that something you would be interested in?

Sounds good to me. Better would be if I could, for example, donate, lets say, $20 for a whole year... and no logins required for 365-days. =)

Some people have issues with using the heliohost.org site to log in too. If that doesn't work for you, sign in using https://tommy.heliohost.org:2083/ instead

Inactivity was my fault... I didnt know that....Well... my site does not require me to log in. Im done with it and all my updates to DB are done via Excel VBA. Is there a way do add me in a exception not requiring the monthly CPanel login ?

a. username: atn2017
b. server: tommy
c. main domain: atnranking.heliohost.org

Hi there! My account was suspended and I could renew it. But in order to avoid this happen again, I'd like to know what happened because this is a simple site that friends use to schedule / post results for tennis matches, so nothing that I judge as prohibited per HelioHost.org rules.

Thanks!

Paulo.

...I hate timezones.

 

I'm guessing cron honors the local timezone settings since the server clock is UTC...

My 1st attempt was using UTC, but didn't work. I'm now trying Pacific Time..... Let's see....

 

It's 9:08

well... I check up on https://time.is/PST ... it says 1h earlier..... I'll do again with 1h later....

 

Worked, @Byron ! Thanks, pal....

Sorry about that. We're actually on PDT (Pacific Daylight Time). https://www.google.com/search?q=Pacific+Daylight+Time

Perfect... Is there a way to confirm it in the future ?

It's 9:08

@Krydos & wolstech, I set up a cron to test with this syntax:

35 8 * * * php -q /home/byron/public_html/php/mail.php

And it ran at 8:35 am PST.

By the way, are you on Tommy ? PST right now is 8:07 AM......

 

 

I've set this cronjob to 13:30 20th MAR but nothing happened. Do you guys have any tip on the syntax I used or where can I see the log for this query ?

 

Thanks!

Paulo.

 

Your cron hasn't run yet. The server time is PST. As of the time of this post, it was 8:36 am.

 

Thanks ! I was wondering about it... Because I checked tommy time zone at http://heliohost.grd.net.pl/server-time/, but I think it's wrong....

I also tried running a cronjob from a php command: php -q /home/atn2017/public_html/cronjob.php

But it didn´t work anyway.

Any tip ?

Hi there. I tried to add a cronjob on Tommy Server for a simple SQL update query on my DB using the command below, but it didn't work:

mysql --user=DBUSER --password=PASS --database=DBNAME --execute="UPDATE table SET colunm=value;"

I've set this cronjob to 13:30 20th MAR but nothing happened. Do you guys have any tip on the syntax I used or where can I see the log for this query ?

Thanks!

Paulo.
