Hi @ballagyrm, We will add an A record to vps67.heliohost.us soon, it was a miss from my end - that's why it is not responding to ping. We usually add the A record before sending the VPS email itself.
Regarding hosting, the VPS comes with only a fresh OS installed. To use, Apacha/Nginx you will have to install them manually and configure them or you can use a free control panel software like HestiaCP on your VPS.
