Morty Transfers Available

[Krydos]

Morty is now available for all existing users to transfer their accounts to.

If you have an existing account on Johnny or Tommy you can now use the dashboard page https://heliohost.org/dashboard/move/ to move yourself to our new flagship server, Morty.

Morty is the fastest server we have ever built, running on the fastest processor we have ever purchased, using the fastest SSD raid array we have ever had, and the fastest memory our processor supports. Thanks to 82 amazing donors during our last fundraiser we were able to raise enough money to purchase our newest server which is home to Morty, among other things. The largest of those donors have been beta testing Morty for the last couple weeks, and a few issues that they found have been fixed. Morty is now ready to launch to the existing users.

The move page in the dashboard is 100% automated, so if you decide to move to Morty you can do so without any help from an admin, and without even talking to anyone if you don't want to. That said, we would love to hear what you have to say about our new server if you decide to try it out, or if you have any feedback about the transfer process.

There will eventually be two ways to pay for Morty, the monthly subscription and the prepay option. Right now only the prepay option is available, but you can get $6 of Morty balance for only $5, which could keep your website online for 6 months. There is also the option to buy $12 balance and $24 balance for discounted rates. Keep in mind if your account uses more than 100 GB memory or 10k CPU in a day we will charge you an extra $0.0005 per 1 GB memory and $0.005 per 1k CPU rather than suspending you. So if you have a lot of overages the $6 balance won't last you a full 6 months, but we will email you when the balance gets low.

Morty isn't available for new users yet, so the only way to get on Morty is to move an existing Johnny or Tommy account. Morty will be available for new users in a week or two. We'll make another news post when this is option is available.

I have a question. Does the move page in the dashboard allow you to move back to tommy or johnny if I'm not happy for some reason with morty or want to go back or do I have to ask an admin.

[Krydos]

Yes, the move page in the dashboard would allow you to move back to Tommy, but it wouldn't be free. You would have to pay $1. An admin can move you back for free if you ask.

I noticed on the move page it only lets you move to morty, it doesn't let you move to johnny. Is that something that is still being worked on?

[Krydos]

Eventually you will be able to move to Johnny if you want.
