Hello,

Thank you for reaching out regarding the recent login activity.

I would like to explain the situation. I found HelioHost some time ago and
recommended it to my brother because I think it is a great platform to
learn and experiment with web development. He was interested in trying it
as well, so he created his own HelioHost account while using the same home
internet connection that I use.

We live in the same household, so both of our accounts may sometimes be
accessed from the same IP address. Each of us has our own separate account
and manages only our own website. I did not create multiple accounts for
myself, nor am I maintaining an account for someone else.

Since we share the same internet connection, I would like to ask how we can
properly maintain both accounts without violating the Terms of Service or
causing any future issues. Please let us know if there is anything we
should do, such as requesting prior permission or providing additional
information.

Thank you very much for your time and support. I appreciate your guidance.

Best regards,

Thanks for letting us know the situation. You and your brother are definitely allowed to each have an account. I have made an exception in the system so you shouldn't get a warning like this again. Let us know if you need help with anything else.
