Now the admin is solving the cPanel issue.

$ dig daskunk.heliohost.org

;; ANSWER SECTION:
daskunk.heliohost.org.  14400   IN      A       65.19.143.6

This is what my PC is looking at. The main domain in question looks normal.

You can also check the issuance status of the SSL certificate here:
https://crt.sh/?q=daskunk.heliohost.org

Something seems to be happening that changes the name server response, but I don't know the extent of its impact.
Please also check your internet environment. For example, a router.

It was an order announced on Discord, but I couldn't pay with PayPal from the VPS page.

It is displayed as "This store only ships within the United States."

Therefore, I paid 2500 yen using Facebook, which I was talking about with the administrator the other day.
instead, request a VPS here.

• Facebook Transaction ID: 4097509177031891 (from Keiichi Shiga) This was resent using a VPS page
• Memory: 2GB
• CPUs: 2
• Storage: 50 GB
• OS: Rocky 8

Therefore, it is originally US $ 21.60 for 6 months. I paid more than that in Japanese Yen.

I'm aware of cPanel issues. I'm not in a hurry. Please process this order after the cPanel issue has subsided.
I was so happy to meet you that I did what I could do now. Thank you.

Edit: The issue on the VPS page has been fixed. See the comments below.

Of course, don't forget to update WordPress to the newest version as much as possible.
At the same time, PHP will switch to the new version.
In particular, the newer the version of PHP 7, the faster the processing speed. Perhaps PHP 8 will maintain this as well.
It also helps reduce the heavy load on HelioHost and maintain stable operation.
It's a task that happens almost regularly as long as you maintain WP.

Rocky Linux is added as a Custom option. It is an alternative to CentOS 8.
https://rockylinux.org/

Be careful if you are considering using CentOS on your VPS.
Support for CentOS 8 was changed at the end of 2021.
https://blog.centos.org/2020/12/future-is-centos-stream/
https://centos.org/distro-faq/

Support for CentOS 7 remains unchanged. This also includes the current HelioHost server. 

Oh, I'm looking at a bad bot looking for Contact Form 7. Its purpose is to send junk mail.
If not, it wastefully causes access to PHP and MySQL. If your WP is using it, remove it immediately.

I recently mentioned Cloudflare on Discord. I'll be posting a topic about this on HelioNet or adding it to the Wiki in the near future.

I saw a similar report on Discord. This report was also Tommy.
I also use Tommy, but my web is fine. However, since this is a static site, it's probably happening with heavy processing. Is it related to database?

http://heliohost.grd.net.pl/monitor/

No incidents have been seen on the monitor.

Ah, The restrictions discussed in this topic are primarily restrictions due to the addition of subdomains in cPanel.

HelioHost currently offers a VPS plan,
if you use this VPS and your name server uses an external service, you don't have to worry about this.

This topic is over the years. This is a change due to the new service.

I will move this topic here.

If you have any information please leave a comment.
However, even if it exists now, it should be marked as a free domain in the future. You don't expect it.

Here topic is for paid and cheap domains, Please comment on the following topics about free domains:

Yeah, it's still not enough. I want a simple design, but it doesn't.
And some are paid plans. Why do ProDocs cost as much as €29?

https://themes.gohugo.io/

I have linked the Hugo theme list for comparison.

I often mention the renewed ZeroSSL. Certainly there is currently no good way to use it with HelioHost.

Currently ZeroSSL (and  SSL For Free) has restrictions on free issuance on the web, so you should consider a paid 1 year plan.
But APIs and ACME are not. You can automatically issue a certificate and renew it for free.

If you want to use this with HelioHost, it's safe to leave it to cPanel AutoSSL.

I tried Publii in this post. This may be useful for some users.
However, although it seems that there is a short period from development, it is a pity that there is still no theme choice.

I already use a static site generator on some websites. Hugo, Jekyll, Mkdocs,...
If you are friends with shells and terminals, it is a more ideal choice.

I don't want to use a system running PHP and MySQL anymore. I saw a number of websites in the world that were destroyed.
Especially for WordPress, a bot exploring it will open and will come in a few days.
You should not leave the prototype WP! That WP will be killed!

https://wiki.helionet.org/tutorials/discord-bot

There is a HelioHost Discord, but a few days ago a user ran a bot under construction there and got into trouble without knowing how to stop the bot.
You should first create your server and try out the bot's behavior there.

They are located on the servers in the datacenter at Hurricane Electric.

Oops, I know there! Another name is he.net.
You may also know something as a trigger. (I talked about this Free DNS a few days ago)

https://he.net/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Electric

As a result, we were able to grasp a more specific installation location. Thank you for your quick reply. 😄

It seems that there are many users other than the US, so I will ask this question.

Is the VPS installed only in the US data center? Does the data center offer VPS in other countries and regions?

Yes. We recently talked about Freenom. There are also experienced people in this forum.

Yes, I think there is that too. There are many reasons why you may not be able to communicate with Gmail. (Recently, there has been abuse of spam)

I was able to receive an email from Gmail after changing the SPF record, so I reported this.
However, when you test this, the situation may have changed due to other factors.

Perhaps the SPF record specs have changed several times. The old specifications are maintained.

Google only specifies a:example.host.name for this SPF record.

https://support.google.com/a/answer/10683907

I've seen other information as well, but most of them just mention a:example.host.name as well.

Since ip4 and mx already exist on the same server, removing +a is sufficient.

This form requires alphanumeric characters without "." .
cPanel can indicate an external service by IP address, which other server vendors wouldn't want to adopt with confidence.
Consider buying a formal domain and clipt.heliohost.us should 301 forward to this domain.

I recently posted something like this.

I was looking at some posts related to Gmail so I investigated them. I found the cause.

This is the Tommy server SPF record. There is no +a setting. The host name is added after +a. example: +a:example.hellohost.org 
From this, Gmail refused delivery due to indefinite SPF settings. However, some mail servers still deliver.
I removed +a from this record. After that, emails sent from Gmail came to HelioHost.

If you see this, please check this first with an email address that does not affect the sending and receiving of emails, and add a comment.
With this confirmation, the administrator will be able to modify the name server.

Oh, there was also Freenom here... but many would recognize it as the free domains: .cf .ga .gq .ml .tk 😩
You can find a sad story about Freenom on that topic. If you were using Freenom, you will experience it someday.

Free domains require additional work to register with cPanel. (Explained in that topic)
Many of the domains you buy can be registered with cPanel without worrying about this. Follow the steps on the Wiki.

https://wiki.helionet.org/faq#what-are-the-nameservers-for-heliohost

You can register .com, .net, etc. to cPanel immediately, but some top-level domains will fail,
so please wait a while and try registering again. (This depends on the registry server)

This domain can be configured in addition to the current main domain. Or you can change the main domain.

For subdomains that are not currently ICANN domains, you need to register once at dns.he.net.
.pp.ua also succeeded in registration by the same procedure.

I also use a subdomain of FreeDNS (freedns.afraid.org).
This also seems to require the same registration procedure now.
It is necessary to register NS records from ns1.he.net to ns5.he.net,
which is the limit of records that can be registered for free.
If you are already using another subdomain, this procedure will be difficult.

There has been progress in .pp.ua. When I contacted nic.ua support, registration proceeded.
Still my smartphone didn't receive the SMS, so I proceeded with activation on Telegram.
Now the 3 domains of .pp.ua are in my hands.

I'll try varying the name servers for these domains to see if they can be registered with HelioHost.
