  1. The .org domains were discontinued for regular users back in 2021. We were forced to move users to a different domain because users kept getting their account hacked or setting up abuse (like phishing sites) and getting the main heliohost.org website blacklisted on places like Facebook.

    Users that had them prior to that date were allowed to keep them until they were removed from the account (which in the case of the Johnny crash, everyone on Johnny had their domains removed). The helioho.st and heliohost.us domains are the replacements.

    If you need it back temporarily, it can be added as an alias that redirects to your new domain, however, there will be a time when they stop working entirely for users. Do you want me to do that?

  2. You can change this in Plesk. Go to Plesk then click your username in the upper right->Edit Profile and update the contact info. Once updated, it can take a few hours before our website dashboard and login page reflects the change.

    If you're unable to change it for some reason, please let us know and we'll manually send an email to your old email address to verify your identity, then update it on our side.

  3. If there's specific files you need, we can look at grabbing those for you. Please specify the exact file or database names. It may take a while to get you the data, as we have to manually review it to ensure nothing illegal is in the files we provide.

    We do not provide full backups of hacked accounts because they contain malware and may contain illegal content as well (e.g. data collected by a phishing site if one was set up). 

  4. You're not suspended for high load, you're suspended because Wordpress got hacked and is full of malware. This is very common for Wordpress unfortunately (especially when dubious extensions are used or when updates are not installed promptly), and is one of the major reasons we recommend users avoid using it.

    Your account will need to be reset without a backup in order to be unsuspended.

    Are you ready to start over?

  5. The configuration we recommend is to use the server hostname (tommy.heliohost.org in your case) as the mail server.

    Plesk loves to suggest using user domains for the mail server, but our experience is that it tends to cause issues. SSL connections for mail not working is a common problem with doing so, and another is that mail clients may refuse to send mail through it for security reasons (the server identifies itself as Tommy regardless of what domain you use to connect, some clients do not like the fact the domain in its settings and the domain the server identifies as don't match).

  6. It's suspended due to high server load, specifically CPU usage. This is usually due to things such as code being stuck in a loop, processes that aren't exiting when finished, running scheduled tasks too frequently, or forgetting to close SFTP connections when you're done with them.

    Since it's been suspended for more than 24 hours there aren't many details available.

    Please watch your load here: https://heliohost.org/dashboard/load/ and make any adjustments needed to keep your load down. If you have questions, feel free to ask.

    Unsuspended. Your account can take up to 2 hours to function.
