Your subscription has been canceled and you won't be charged again. Thanks for using our VPS service.

It's really not complicated. Just close your connections when you're done using them, and don't try to open 100s of them at the same time. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19563474/how-to-close-database-connection-in-node-js I believe MySQL Workbench only uses 1 connection at a time, but if all 10 of your available connections are already taken by Node then it won't be able to connect with even 1. If you can't figure out how to add connection.end(); to your code you can always get a VPS where you can open 10000 simultaneous connections without blocking everyone else from accessing the database. They start at $4 per month and are available at https://heliohost.org/vps/

All of your accounts opened 40-75 MariaDB connections and never closed them and essentially caused a denial of service attack on our server which caused downtime for thousands of other users. This news post is about you Personally, I don't think you deserve a second chance. Why not use AWS to host your databases since all of the 40-75 connections were coming from AWS IP addresses anyways?

Each user can now open a maximum of 10 connections to MariaDB on Johnny and Tommy. Back in 2021 and earlier we had a limit of 3 connections on Johnny and 6 connections on Tommy. Tons of people would write bad code that doesn't ever close database connections and then they would hit the limit and complain to us about the errors. The forum and Discord were full of messages like, "The reason you can't open any new connections is because you already have 6 open connections that have all been sleeping for hours without even doing anything." When we switched to Plesk we decided to do an experiment and leave the connections unlimited to see if people could be responsible and not abuse our generosity. It worked well for 3 years, but in the last 2 weeks one person on Tommy and three people on Johnny have (probably unintentionally) launched a denial of service attack on our MariaDB databases causing hours of downtime for thousands of other users. So, the time has come to enforce a limit again. A few bad people always ruin the fun for everyone else.

Did you change anything? It was working fine for me like 10 minutes ago.

The domain has been added, but in order to actually host it with us you must do 1 of the following 2 options. Use our nameservers by logging in to your registrar and setting your NS records to ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org Use any external DNS that you want, Cloudflare is a popular free option, and create an A record with the value 65.19.141.77 and an AAAA record with the value 2001:470:1:1ee::2002

Does it work now? As an added bonus, if you make changes to your Flask app try editing flask.wsgi and see if it loads the changes immediately rather than waiting for an Apache restart. You can just add a blank line or remove a blank line or something and it should restart your Flask app. Let us know if reloading the Flask app works too.

Thanks for reading our terms of service, and asking in advance. Yes, that's fine with me too. You may create a second account for the other business. I will add an exception in the multi-account detection. Please post the username of the other businesses account once it's created to make sure that neither gets flagged. Another thing to consider if you start creating a lot of websites for people is you could get even faster speeds and better uptime with a VPS that start at $4 per month.

Can you connect to MariaDB now? Around the time you posted this someone had 72 open MariaDB connections and was essentially DoSing our server. Their Amazon IP has been blocked in the firewall and they've been suspended. Back in 2021 we had a limit of 3 MySQL connections to Johnny and 6 connections to Tommy. When we switched to Plesk I made it unlimited, but I said that if people started abusing it we would go back to having a limit. This has happened once on Tommy and once on Johnny now in the last couple months so it might be time to limit the connections again.

Which domain?

Solved on Discord. Looks like some software bug caused the massive .csv file.

Do you mean latency or bandwidth or what exactly? If you mean latency you can ping or do a traceroute to 65.19.141.66. If you mean bandwidth you can time how long it takes you to download this 100 MB file: # time wget https://heliohost.org/speedtest/100MB.bin --2024-04-12 03:34:49-- https://heliohost.org/speedtest/100MB.bin Resolving heliohost.org (heliohost.org)... 65.19.141.66 Connecting to heliohost.org (heliohost.org)|65.19.141.66|:443... connected.

For anyone who searches and finds this thread. You can verify your own domains via HTML verification without the need to contact an admin or use external DNS. Go to https://search.google.com/ and login or sign up. Click "add property" and when you select property type select "URL Prefix" NOT "Domain", and it will give you an html file to put on your website.

For anyone else who reads this, each 1 person can have 1 account total, regardless of how many email addresses you create. And each 1 account can have up to 10 websites for free. You don't need to create 2 accounts to have 2 websites, and the only thing you're going to accomplish by creating 2 accounts is getting both suspended. Our terms of service are really easy to understand. You don't even need to consult with a lawyer. The reason we limit people to 1 account per person is because we're a non-profit free hosting provider so the only money we get is from donations and advertising revenue. We turn away hundreds of people each day who would love to have 1 free account, so we don't think it's fair for 1 person to have more than 1 account when there are so many people who aren't able to even have a single account. If we had the servers, and money, and resources of Google or Amazon or something, we would allow everyone to create as many accounts as they wanted to, but we don't have infinite money and we don't have infinite servers, so we have to try to be as fair as possible to the few people we can provide free hosting to.

You need to work on your reading comprehension. We've already answered that. Here's another example. The terms of service say And you somehow interpret that to mean that since you have 2 email addresses you count as 2 people?

What happened when you reset your password at https://heliohost.org/reset/ ?

Here's a link that you can use to purchase that domain if you want. https://heliohost.org/partners/namecheap/xrplbkas.com And here's another link that you can use to purchase your main domain. https://heliohost.org/partners/namecheap/absensicheck.com If you use those links you can get them for $5.98 USD for the first year with the code NEWCOM598, and we get a few cents for the affiliate link usage. Obviously, whatever random domains you have us add aren't going to work unless you buy them first. If you'd like a free domain we can provide something like xrplbkas.helioho.st or xrplbkas.heliohost.us.

No, this is not an April Fool's joke...

Even after opening free signups twice per day, instead of once per day like the last 19 years, free accounts are still filling consistently in only a few seconds in both time slots. Since the stability of Johnny is still doing great so we're going to increase the number of accounts we give away each day. As long as the uptime and speed of Johnny stays good we'll continue trying to give away as many accounts as we can support each day.

Added.
