There are 3 limits:

1. Email address
2. Domain
3. Subscription

Wolstech set the subscription level back to 1000, but didn't change the domain limit or the email address limit. They are all three set to 1000 per day now. Apparently the increased email sending limit doesn't copy over when you switch servers. This is the first time anyone with an increased limit has changed servers so it's good information for us to know.

What do you see when you go to http://portquiz.net:1373/ ?

Does it work now?

Closing due to inactivity.

Your VPS has been deleted as requested. Let us know if there's anything else we can help with.

Your refund has been issued.

Your VPS has already been upgraded to 2 GB memory, and you should have received an email letting you know that it was done. Let us know if you need help with anything else.

Your storage space has been increased to 3000 MB. Thanks for the donation.

I also wanted to make sure you know what is going on with your load.

Based on the last day or so you're looking at about $4.33 per month if this same usage continues. Here are your currently running processes.

Let us know if this is what you intended.

Your Morty account has been deleted. Before I deleted it I made a full backup that you can download from https://heliohost.org/backup/if you need it.

Your $15 of credit has been moved to your VPS, and you'll get an email on June 22nd 2025 asking if you want to renew. The email will have a link to set up a subscription that will automatically bill every month from then on.

Let us know if you need help with anything else.

I started a VPS building for you. You'll get an email with the IP addresses you can use to SSH in with after about 15 minutes. We'll leave the Morty account intact for now in case you decide to go back. Once we delete the Morty account we can transfer the $15 credit to the VPS and that will keep you paid for about 3.75 months.

The memory looks fine, but your CPU is off the charts. Based on the last 25 minutes of your LocalAdmin process idling with zero users your monthly bill will be about $13.33. Adding any users to the server is likely going to make that even higher.

I recommend getting a VPS. I'm pretty sure a Mercury will run this just fine for $4 per month, and we can transfer your Morty payment and your storage space increase towards your VPS if you want. Another advantage to a VPS is you will have root access to start and stop processes which means you won't have to use that server_control system either.

Try connecting to UDP ocarina.helioh.st port 7777 with your game client.

I was re-adding all the logging that you removed from my start/stop script. The logging is the most useful part of the whole thing and the only way you're going to know if it's working or not.

Looks like it's running though.

ocarina.helioho.st

Since we provide free hosting we get a lot of criminals trying to abuse our free service. We suspend them as quickly as possible, but sometimes antivirus and malware scanners flag anything.helioho.st as malware because it's seen too many bad sites. We do have an affiliate program with Namecheap if you're interested in purchasing a domain. This domain is only $1.49 for the first year https://heliohost.org/partners/namecheap/ocarina.cfd You may need to disable your adblocker to use that link.

Your storage space has been increased to 2000 MB. Thanks for the donation.

What VPS number are you?

You should be able to start and stop your process using something like this https://wiki.helionet.org/Discord_Bot#Starting_and_Stopping_Your_Bot

The rebuild with Ubuntu 24 has been started and you should get an email in a bit when it finishes.

There is no process listening on port 7777. Have you not started the process? Have you tried using .htaccess to proxy to port 7777? How do you plan to start and stop the process which isn't currently listening on port 7777? How much memory does your process use when it's running?

A huge thank you goes out to the 66 generous donors who have helped us complete our latest fundraiser in record time. Based on previous fundraisers we expected it to take about 6 months to raise the $2500 to buy a new server, but we have already reached our goal in exactly 1 month. If you're a donor and haven't received your thank you gifts yet, please let us know so we can get that set up for you.

Now that we have raised the funds that we asked for, we will use the money to buy a new server with 192 GB memory, 40 CPU cores, and 10.5 TB of hard drive space named Stevie. Since we're a small non-profit run by volunteers it will take at least a few months to get everything set up, but we'll make an announcement when we're ready for the Java beta testers to start helping out testing the new server.

We're also really excited to be able to increase the amount of free hosting space that we have. Johnny continues to fill in less than a second at both noon and midnight most days even though we've increased the number of available free accounts granted each day by quite a bit. This fundraiser should be able to nearly double the amount of free hosting space that we have.

We'll make more announcements as the hardware gets installed, and the new server gets set up. Keep an eye out for the latest HelioHost news.

Have you gotten your card fixed yet?

considering the possibility of running this process three times in a single day, which would mean that someone seriously messed up

If someone "seriously messed up" enough to send an extra 730 emails I would think that it would be beneficial for some of those extra emails to be blocked from being sent in the first place, but sure.

Your limit has been increased to 1000 per day. This limit will follow you to Morty when you're ready. You can move yourself with https://heliohost.org/dashboard/move/

did they login to the control panel

No, they logged into SMTP.

did they login through the website which was running on Joomla?

No, as far as I can see your account is empty, and has nothing installed.

I expected it to have been deleted for inactivity by now

We never delete accounts unless people request it. If people abandon their account they go into archived state, and people can restore them back to being active whenever they want.

Did this Alaskan IP login after I renewed it on Feb 15th

No, it was logging into your SMTP yesterday and sending spam. That's why your account was suspended.

was it suspended at an earlier date but your system still allowed me to renew it?

You can't renew or unsuspend suspended accounts yourself.

Any chance you have the exact dates available for both occurrences when this took place?

Do your servers log how the logins take place... Username and Password, cookie stealing, browser hijack etc.

SMTP login using the email account daniel@the-petrol-head.co.uk. How they got the password you would know better than us. Keylogger on your computer? Weak password? Reusing passwords that have been leaked from other websites?

The total number of users is fixed at 356, being cautious, I would estimate sending up to 1000 emails on those days

I don't understand why 356 users receiving 1 email 2 days each month would result in 1000 emails being sent on a single day.

Someone from Alaska from the IP address 140.228.121.123 has been logging into your account and sending spam emails to random addresses like richardgullage@bellsouth.net, cherch1@bk.ru, tomstokli@seznam.cz, lovee1835@naver.com, etc. This has already happened before on your account back in November 2023. When your account sends spam it makes the whole server get blacklisted and thousands of other people's emails will get sent to spam because of you. Why should we give you another chance?
