[Wolstech] Lily Server Request for personal .NET Project

[kiririn5]

Dear HelioHost Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I would like to request the setup of Lily server for my personal .NET projects.

Please let me know if you need any additional information or approvals to proceed.

Thank you for your assistance.

This is something Wolstech can set up for you. I've escalated this thread for their attention. 🙂

Just a heads-up:

It lacks any semblance of a user interface at the moment, but it happily hosts websites with decent uptime. Be aware that if your site has been idle for a while (no traffic), the first page view might take a minute for the page to load.

SSL is not provided by default but can be added upon request once the DNS finishes setting up if you want it.

Lily only supports FTP, you cannot log at heliohost.org/login/ using this information as there is no control panel to log into.

A 403 error is normal if you have no index page uploaded. If you need an additional domain added, please let me know and I can add it. Please keep in mind that the domain cannot already be attached to your account or the add will fail.

Disk space limit is 1000MB (independent of your Plesk account)

If you want your files in a folder other than the domain root (public_html), you will likely need to have a folder registered as an IIS Application in order for ASP.NET applications to run. If you need this, please let @wolstech know the folder name and he can register it for you. If you have questions about getting your app running, I can also help you with that. 

To upload files, Lily is accessible via FTP:

Host: lily.heliohost.org
Port: 21 (Plain FTP and FTP over Explicit TLS are supported)

Many common IIS settings such as URL rewriting can be configured by creating/editing a web.config file in your application's folder.

MySQL is available locally on Lily for databases. PhpMyAdmin is here: https://lily.heliohost.org:2083/phpmyadmin/ Username and password are the same as for FTP. SQL Server Express is available by request.

If your software needs to send email, you can configure your software to use Tommy as the mail server: Type SMTP, host tommy2.heliohost.org, port 25, no authentication. Lily users can send mail using Tommy even if their Plesk account is on another server.

For coding, ASP.NET (.NET 4.8, Classic ASP, .Net Core 3.1, .NET 5.0, .NET 6.0) and PHP 5.6 are supported. PHP 7.x and 8.x are available by request.

Let me know if you have any questions.
