Lorien

I'm a little confused with how HelioHost hosting works. I requested a new hosting account (lorienwood.heliohost.org) two days ago, and received an email saying the account was installed. For a little over 24-hours I couldn't access the site at all (network timeouts). Starting last night the site has a suspended message, which sort of makes sense from the perspective that I haven't been able to access it to create an index page in 24-hours (per the TOS requirement). But my account creation email also said: So, how do I know what state my account is in? Does the site time out until it's created, then become "suspended" until it's validated, then "live" for 24-hours for a new index page to be created? Am I just being impatient or have I inadvertently violated the TOS before I even started?

I'm not sure what kept me actually trying over and over and over again to register. But I was really close to completely giving up on registration because the CAPTCHA system is really broken. I lost track of how many times I tried, although I did gain some hope from this forum thread (that I wouldn't get locked out trying over and over again). Even when the image was very clear, the code wouldn't be accepted.
