HelioHost Posted February 21 Posted February 21 Username: N/A, Server: N/A, Main Domain: N/AHi HelioHost Team, I have been following your services and community for a while, and I am very impressed with the features you offer, especially for developer-oriented projects. I am planning to launch a technology and education-based forum using XenForo 2.3.9 on the *Johnny* server (or any available free plan). My goal is to create a clean, helpful community for my users. Since I am already using Cloudflare to manage my domain (crackerlab.site), I believe I can keep the server load at a minimum by utilizing your optimization recommendations. I noticed that daily signups reach their limit very quickly. I would be extremely grateful if you could assist me in securing a spot or provide an invitation to create a free account. Thank you for your time and for providing such a great service to the community. Best regards, [Kayra Cancan]
wolstech Posted February 21 Posted February 21 In fairness to all other users who are trying to obtain a spot at the same time, we are unable to provide invites to bypass the signup process on the free plan. The signups open twice a day (midnight and noon UTC). See https://wiki.helionet.org/Signing_Up#Helpful_Tips_for_Getting_a_Free_Account_on_Johnny for some advice on getting an account. It often takes users a few tries to get one since the signups usually fill in just a few seconds due to demand. When I got an account here way back when I was still a regular user, it meant me getting up at 3AM multiple times before I got one. Also, Xenforo is paid software. If you wish to run that here, please keep in mind that you may be asked to provide proof of purchase. Nulled software is not permitted. Our recommendation for your application would be the Tommy plan for $2 anyway. Not only will this let you sign up immediately, Xenforo will likely run poorly on Johnny due to that server's rather poor speed and uptime. Johnny is for people just wanting to test something, play around with site design, or learn something new, it's not really meant for production-grade websites with a meaningful number of actual users like a forum would have.
