[Solved] I wanna know about the venus plan

[bawanthabe]

Hey, I'm interested in venus VPS plan of yours. Can I run a wordpress site with that and I also wanna know how many daily hits will it give me ? Because that site will get more visitors day by day. Please reply fast !

[KazVee]

The Venus plan (and all the VPS plans) can easily handle 1 or many WordPress sites. All VPS plans come with unlimited bandwidth, which means there is no limit or cap on the total number of daily hits that your VPS websites can get. If your WP site on our VPS becomes very popular and you get a large amount of daily visitors, our VPS can handle that just fine.

Of course, you will want to make sure you have anti-spam and anti-bot attack protection on your WP install, even on a VPS. You may be aware of the risk that comes with using WP on our shared hosting, since WP is bloated software and can often get attacked by bots (which then causes the account load to get too high, and results in account suspension). The same risk of bot attacks exists when WP is installed onto a VPS, but the difference is that if this happens on a VPS, the load does not impact our other users. We'd still recommend making sure you have WP security plugins installed, so that bots cannot repeatedly attack your VPS WordPress site and risk slowing it down for your website visitors. 

Please note that a VPS is basically a machine with an OS installed, so if you're not comfortable with the command line, you can request that we install a free dashboard onto the VPS for you when it is created. Popular free dashboards are Hestia and KeyHelp. Since you mention WordPress, Hestia offers a straightforward "one-click install" feature for WP (that you can read more about here), that may be helpful for you.

Can't I pay without paypal. My country doesn't support paypal

[KazVee]

Yes, it is possible to pay without PayPal. Other options are to pay with a credit or debit card processed by PayPal (which you do not need a PayPal account for), or via crypto. If you decide to pay with crypto, we require 6 months payment at a time because it's too much work to manually verify crypto payments every month.

On all VPS plans, no matter how you pay, we offer 10% discount when you pay for 6 months upfront. Once you click on any plan tile, you'll see this discount offer confirmed in writing on the page for you.

According to this page, you can still send money through paypal in Sri Lanka.

But the bank told me their visa cards aren't working for paypal. Isn't there another way ?

Edit: I see MoneyBroz has also been helping you while I was typing up my huge post. 😄 I suspect the only way to know for sure if your debit card will be accepted is to try, and let us know if you have trouble.

This is a bit more info about the signup process: 
The VPS signup process is automated, so you would just go here (https://heliohost.org/vps/) and choose the Venus plan, if that's what you want. Then choose your subscription length, choose a username (this cannot be the same username as the one you use for the shared hosting account), set a password, and then agree to the Terms of Service. 

After all that, you will see a page with a blue PayPal button, and right underneath that another dark grey button with "Debit or Credit Card", so you can click on that one and proceed to enter your debit card info. 

Once you have finished signing up and the payment is approved, the system will start to build your VPS. The build process isn't immediate, so please be patient. Once the VPS has been built for you, you will receive an email with your VPS number and the login details to use.

At that point, if you would like us to install a dashboard for you, let us know which one you want, and we can set it up for you. A dashboard can only be installed on a fresh OS, so if this is something you want, please let us know right away before you make any changes to your VPS, or else it will delay things if we have to reset the VPS to install the dashboard on there. You are allowed 1 free VPS reset per month, so it'd be better not to need to use it right away.

Please I wanna working metod

[KazVee]

You may need to take screenshots of what you are seeing so we can understand what is happening on your side.

When I try to signup, I choose the "Debit or Credit Card" button: 

Then it takes me to a page to choose the country. When I choose Sri Lanka I see these options. Google translate tells me this is saying "Pay with debit or credit card":

Just because PayPal is the payment processor does not mean you need a PayPal account to pay with a debit or credit card. 

If you are getting an error message or seeing different fields that don't offer an option to pay with your debit card, please share screenshots of what you're seeing, so we can try to help you a little further. Please could you translate any messages to English since Google translate isn't always helpful.
