I don't recall where I seen it, but was HelioHost a Post to Host platform at one point or another?

Heliohost is a non-profit corporation that doesn't charge for hosting or require you to post to obtain or continue running a hosting account. Unless you are referring to this which is completely optional.

😮 Whoa!!! This was not what I was referring to, the second Testimonial near the bottom of the page here: https://heliohost.org/ is what has one reference to what I'm referring to.

@wolstech, is one still able to attempt this? Would I be able to do this in Ookma's post above?

Sorry trying to figure out what you are referring to. After refreshing the page several times I could only find references to the free domain.

Ohhh, your good! Sorry, should have conveyed a thank you for sharing!
Here are one of the testimonials I am referring to that lead me to believe that HH/HN was originally one of those networks that would give hosting space if you met the requirements. One of those requirements was forum posts.

 

Although I'm reading that wrong as well & the original reference that led me to believe what I believe is from this page: https://wiki.helionet.org/hosting/helionet.

Thanks for sharing! Interesting to see that. Anyone know why this feature was discontinued?

We were a post to host service back when we first started in the middle 00s. There used to be a point system. I don't really know the details though, it went away before I really started, and I've been here since 2012 (technically 2009 if you include my first account that I abandoned after a few months).

I have no idea which of the testimonials you're talking about, because those are random and change each time you reload the page. I know there are some really old ones from when we first opened though still circulating in there... when I loaded, I saw one referencing Stevie...a server we haven't offered in years (Tommy was his replacement).

I didn't know that, since I only started  few months ago, thanks for the history lesson.
