[Answered] Web Space

[Sandip]

Hello,

 

I want to use more that 500 MB space. Is there any way to upgrade this Web Space? If require, I can pay price for this.

 

And, does email account space is included in this 500 MB Space?

Yes.

[Sandip]

Thank you Shinryu for your time and knowledge.

 

Also I want to use more that 500 MB space. Is there any way to upgrade this 500 MB Web Space? If require, I can pay price for this.

Sorry, but we do not offer any upgraded plans. All accounts are limited too 500mb, which is more than enough for most websites.

Actually, can we still get a space boost for winning the design competitions? Not that they happen with regularity or anything, but, it's an option right?

I don't recall increased web space as an award, and it is unlikely to happen. If you are storing photos, videos, or other downloadable files, I recommend using services such as YouTube or Dropbox. Both services provide permalinks you can use on your website.

Could the next winner get some prizes like a domain name

or just some more space ...

A free domain name would obviously cost money and that's likely something HelioHost would not do.

However, I believe cPanel will permit me to add an increase for disk space; I will consider a more space award in the next competition. I'm thinking about 100MB extra space as a reward for 1st place...

 

Seems like an awesome incentive.

The last winner of our website competition received double storage space as part of his prize package. His account is still active and still has 1GB of total disk usage available, and he's still active on the forums from time to time.

[Ice IT Support]

Oops! Why did I not remember that...

[Krydos]

I also wanted to add that one of the problems with paid hosting is that they are forever hassling you at every step trying to confuse you or force you to upgrade to some more expensive plan so they can make more money from you. We have a different philosophy at Heliohost. We aren't some big corporation trying to suck you dry of all your hard earned cash; we are just a small non-profit operated by volunteers and the community providing free hosting to anyone who wants it.

 

The only thing we charge extra for is dedicated IPs because we get charged to provide them. If we could give away free IP addresses we would, but unfortunately IPV4 is horribly inadequate for how big the Internet has gotten, and IPV6 isn't standardized enough yet.

[Shinryuu]

On the IP issue, we get them from Hurricane Electric right, where do they register them from?

Looks like Hurricane Electric gets them from Connex Internet Service.

My previous topic on Web Space has been locked. Even before giving me a scope to thanks them all who answer my questions. I don't understand, why?

[Sandip]

Thanks to all of you for your answers and thank you to Helionet for unlocking this topic.

 

Again when will be the Web site competition to win 500 MB space?

Do this competition is to see best design or best coding?

How many participants are there in previous entry?

 

In heliohost all thing is unlimited except the web disk space. Is there any way to get unlimited web disc space? I mean by giving price, winning competition, helionet forum posting, by helping helionet members or administrators, or any other way.

[Shinryuu]

Is there any way to get unlimited web disc space?

 

Absolutely no way, from my understanding we barely make enough in ad revenue to cover the costs of colocation and utilities. We maybe make a little extra to save for 'rainy days' so we can't just foot the bill for a new server and the extra costs/month. With the amount of users there has to be a limit on the storage space per user, we got an increase in space when Johnny was bought last year because we had a whole empty server that could help ease the burden. More servers would mean more space per user, but never unlimited because as a nonprofit it simply can't be done without a lot of huge donations, which we don't even take.

 

Also I'd like to state what I consider the obvious; our admins who are here every single day trying to make sure we have our sites up and running with as little fuss as possible don't draw paychecks for all the time they put in, they're putting in the time because they care about the service being provided and believe in it. So when in the one day that service was completely down on Stevie to see a bunch of posts about how service -should- be better, could be better, and even about leaving as soon service was restored is disturbing for me to see, and I'm not even a staff member, if I were an admin reading those posts I'd feel deeply hurt.
