  1. I've unsuspended your account and started you moving to Tommy2. Let us know if you notice an improvement in speed, and a reduction in 502 and 504 errors.
  2. 99% of the CPU usage is from systemd which primarily comes from cron jobs and SFTP. If you missed the news post and the email from yesterday, we have a new server named Tommy2 that we're going to be moving everyone to. That should solve the 502 and 504 errors. Are you interested in moving over to the new server now or do you want to wait a bit?
  3. Is this a real business or is it a demo site? You can read more about the free trials at

    Tommy Upgrade

    Tommy is getting upgraded! Johnny may have thrown a tantrum and demanded to jump ahead of his place in line, but our exclusive donor server hasn't been forgotten, and is finally going to get even faster and even more up-to-date. We will be starting a major upgrade soon, and wanted to let you know what to expect. What is changing: PHP: All of the versions of PHP currently available on Tommy will still be available after the upgrade. Node.js: We are adding versions 26 and 25. All other versions of Node.js currently available on Tommy will remain available after the upgrade. Python: We are adding version 3.14. Version 3.9 will remain the same. Version 3.12 will be removed. Django: We are adding version 6.0.7 running on Python 3.14. We are removing version 6.0.3 running on Python 3.12. Flask: We are adding version 3.1.3 running on Python 3.14. We are removing version 3.0.3 running on Python 3.12. MariaDB: We are adding version 12.3. We are removing version 10.5. PostgreSQL: We are adding version 18.4. We are removing version 13.23. Unfortunately, we don't have a way of tracking which accounts are using which Python modules right now. So if you're using any modules, please take a look at https://tommy2-info.heliohost.org/pyinfo/info3.14.py as soon as possible, and request any modules that you'll need that aren't already available. In the future, we plan to add a system for tracking which modules each account needs, allowing us to pre-install them before an account is moved. For now, you will need to re-request them. You can use this link https://helionet.org/index/forum/45-customer-service/?do=add to let us know if any modules you need are missing. Another thing to keep in mind during an upgrade like this is that your IP address will be changing. If you use our nameservers, ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org, your DNS records will be updated to the new values for you. If you use external DNS, such as Cloudflare, you'll need to manually update your DNS records yourself. You will receive an email with the correct values when it's time to change them. If you don't want downtime due to incorrect DNS records, you could temporarily use our DNS until you're moved, and then go back to the external DNS afterwards. You will receive an email when your account begins its migration to the new hardware, and a second email when the move has completed. We are taking volunteers to be the first ones to experience the upgraded speed and features, so if you're ready to move, let us know. If you need a little more time to make sure your website is ready for the upgrade, let us know, and we can move you to the end of the list too. If we don't hear from your we will assume you're ready to move now. Let us know if you have any questions.
  5. Reverse DNS set.
  6. Your backup from 2023-11-12 has been removed and a backup from 2026-05-08 has been added to the backup system. I sent you a link to download it. Let us know if there's anything else you're missing.
  7. I tested the download speed of your VPS. sftp> ls -lh -rw-r--r-- ? 0 0 3.5G Jul 24 17:21 largefile.bin sftp> get largefile.bin Fetching /root/tmp/largefile.bin to largefile.bin largefile.bin 100% 3600MB 58.1MB/s 01:01 sftp> It downloaded a 3.6 GB file in 1 minute and 1 second at about 58.1 MB/s. It seems like the VPS is fine and your internet connection is probably the bottleneck.
  8. Glad it's working again for you. Thanks for adding the demo site banner to help us stay in compliance with Plesk's terms of service.
  9. Does it work now?
  10. There you go https://dark.helioho.st/test.py The instructions on how to run Python CGI outside cgi-bin is located here https://wiki.helionet.org/Python_Tutorial#Running_Python_scripts_outside_cgi-bin_folder I just created the .htaccess for you.
  11. First of all, Morty is the better server. Tommy is slower and older. You were originally on Morty and you have a $16 balance still, but you downgraded yourself to Tommy for some reason. I asked you why, but you never responded to me. There's really no good reason for you to to be on Tommy, especially since you already have more than a year's worth of Morty credit. Is this a real business or is it just a demo site?
  12. There you go https://buy.stripe.com/6oU6oJ63I6gngnT8WFco00m
  13. We do recommend logging in via https://heliohost.org/login/ not directly to https://tommy.heliohost.org/ Glad you got it working again though.
  14. Yeah, you're not blocked in the firewall. https://tommy.heliohost.org is working fine for me, and no one else is having issues with it. Try using a different internet connection. For instance, if you're on WIFI try disconnecting from WIFI and try connecting via a cell phone internet instead.

    Free Morty Trials

    When the Johnny server crashed we decided to give out free Morty trials to any affected users who wanted to get their website back online as soon as possible, since it would take a few weeks to get Johnny running again. We gave those free trials with no credit card required, no commitment, and without even a concrete end date for the trial, etc. Just HelioHost being generous, and trying to help people out like we always do. We gave out about 50 trials with no expectations that anyone would pay to stay on Morty, and honestly we thought 100% of the free trials would just happily move back to Johnny without a single upgrade. We were completely shocked and overjoyed to see that we received nearly $100 of upgrades from the free trials for Johnny people. The next round of free trials has begun, and this time around we're intentionally targeting businesses who are running their website on Tommy or Johnny. We've noticed that a lot of start-up entrepreneurs test out their website on our free hosting, with the intention of moving to AWS, or some other ridiculously expensive hosting option once they start to do some actual business. We figured it would be a good idea to show people that they don't have to leave HelioHost if they want blazing fast speeds and amazing uptime for their business. Once again, no credit card is required, there is no commitment, and we don't even really have a concrete end date for the trial but we expect it to last a month or so for people to get a chance to test Morty out thoroughly. Honestly, most free trials are basically "if you forget to cancel we'll automatically bill you some ridiculously high price" which is just evil corporations trying to prey on forgetful people, so it's understandable that we've had a few skeptical people get upset about receiving a free trial. I refuse to accept any free trials like that because it's not worth the risk of forgetting to cancel and getting billed. This isn't one of those scams. If you forget about the trial, we'll just move you back to the plan you were on before without getting billed anything. No big deal. If you're running a small business on Tommy or Johnny please contact us to let us know so we can get you a free trial as well, and make sure your business is being hosted on the plan that it needs to be on.
  16. Yep, any Plesk employee who visits that site is going to assume it's a commercial business unless you take that stuff off the website or at least put a big "This site is just a demo" or something. We don't want to risk losing our discounted licenses so we're trying to be careful.
  17. Sure, there you go https://gradosretail.helioho.st/
  18. The domain gradosretail.helioho.st has been pointed at your VPS.
  19. We have received the $19 payment for the Morty upgrade. I credited your existing Johnny account with $19 plus $5 bonus for a total of $24 which should last you two years as long as you don't have any overages. We'll email you occasionally to let you know how your balance is being used. Our apologies for requiring this upgrade. Plesk gives us a discount of about $2300 per year for the licenses we use on Johnny and Tommy, but one of their requirements is we can't let any commercial businesses use those plans. It would really be devastating for us to lose that discount. Our yearly operating cost is about $7300 so increasing that by $2300 is a significant increase for us. Thank you for being so understanding and helping support our non-profit mission.
  20. So, all of these services are free?
  21. Alright, the VPS finished building, and you should have received an email with the subject "VPS17 has been created!" that contains the username, IP address, etc for your new VPS. I copied your password from the Tommy account so you should be able to login with the same password as before, but if the password doesn't work for the VPS you can try resetting it at https://heliohost.org/reset/ I also installed java and Tomcat for you and installed SSL. You can see Tomcat running at https://vps17.heliohost.us:8443/manager/html Once you login via SSH to your VPS you'll see a file named tomcat.txt in your home directory that contains the username and password to login to the Tomcat manager. Since you exchanged the Tommy account for a VPS I went ahead and created a full backup of your Tommy account, which you can download from https://heliohost.org/backup/ and deleted the Tommy account. Let us know if you need help with anything else.
  22. I've started a VPS building for you, that will support Java/Tomcat. We can exchange your $4 that you paid for 2 Tommy accounts towards the VPS.
  23. I guess OP never responded because they realized all of their requested modules were already installed.
  24. DKIM, SPF, and DMARC have been set up for the domain abraxas.wtf. 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.
  25. It's been a week with no response so I'm going to close this as solved because it seems to me like all of the questions have been answered: Q: Why can't I install Moodle? A: You're on Tommy which doesn't support it. You'll need to re-upgrade to Morty if you want to run Moodle. Q Why am I no longer on Morty? A: You ran out of prepaid balance and ignored our emails. Q: Why did I run out of balance earlier than expected? A: You started a bunch of high load cronjobs which burned through your balance quickly due to overage charges. Q: How can I move back to Morty. A: You can move yourself back to Morty with this link https://heliohost.org/dashboard/move/ Q: Why am I not receiving HelioHost emails? A: You'll need to check your spam settings or change your contact email address to something that will deliver our emails to your inbox. If you have more questions or still need help with anything else please feel free to open a new support ticket with this link https://helionet.org/index/forum/45-customer-service/?do=add
