Terms Update

[Krydos]

We're updating our Terms of Service.

Our Terms explain what you can expect from us when using our services, and what we expect from you as a user of our services. You can find the updated Terms at the following URL:

Our policy is to make a news post each time we make changes to the Terms of Service to give you plenty of time to review the changes and opt out of the changes if you wish to.

What is changing:

* California recently passed legislation making casino or gambling websites that use real money or cryptocurrency illegal. Since our servers are located in that state, we are required to comply with the new laws.

* The Tommy and Johnny servers use Plesk non-profit licenses, so commercial websites are not allowed on those plans. If your business is just starting out, you can set up your website on the free hosting, but we will periodically review your account. If we decide that your business no longer counts as a micro-business, we will require you to move to Morty or a VPS.

* For people who choose to run paid software, our policy has always been to ask for proof of purchase to make sure the paid software is legally licensed. We're adding this policy to our Terms of Service, so users are aware prior to installation that providing proof will be required.

* It really should be common sense not to attack your own website and attack your own host, but not everyone has common sense unfortunately, so we're adding it to our Terms of Service that you can't stress test your own website.

What this means for you:

Our Terms have been updated to reflect these changes and go into effect on March 31st, 2026. If you agree to these Terms, no further action is needed, and you can continue using our services as you always have. By continuing to use our websites or the services you receive after that date, you agree to the updated Terms

We hope that you'll agree to our Terms and continue to use HelioHost. If you don't want to accept the changes, you can choose to leave HelioHost by deleting your account and no longer accessing or using our services. We would be sad to see you go though.
