[Solved] Would Like To Move To Tommy But Account Deletion Not Working


Recommended Posts

Hi, firstly thank you for your service for me it has been a precious tool for learning about website creation, in the 5 years that I have used Heliohost it has been a brief weekly task for me to visit your website and click on whatever publicity is available. That has made sure that some funds are coming in to help pay for the service over the years.

 

I have read here on the forums that Stevie may be down till january or febuary.

 

I actively use my website for hosting some videos I use on other website through links so I have followed the steps for transfer to another domain as shown here:

Since my site is on Stevie I imagine it is impossible to delete for the same reason that I can not log in to the cpanel.

 

I have a local backup of the website data, but help migrating to Tommy is needed, or at least help deleteing my account so I can start another with the same name servers.

 

:)

Indeed it is. Krydos or Byron needs to delete your DNS records and can change your username so you can sign up again. Be aware that Tommy does require an invite right now (donate to get one, it will be sent to the email address used to donate). If you don't mind the less-stable Johnny, he has open registration starting every night at midnight UTC.

 

What is your username and domain so they can be removed?

The username manuarte, and the domain firemachine.nl.eu.org are now available for you to create a new account.

 

I checked it out yesterday and Johnny was available at 1.00am local time, in southern Europe its gmt+1.

I hear you. I started out as a user just like you years ago. When I created my Stevie account I had to stay up until 2am, and then the first night they filled up already by 2:08 or so when I remembered. The next night I was on top of it and managed to create an account at 2:01. (Un)fortunately we're very popular. Few paid hosts can even offer all that we do, and we give it away for free. We've been gradually increasing the number of Johnny signups we offer each night, and we'll soon offer free signups on Tommy too. For now though we have to make sure our servers don't get overloaded so we have to limit the number of new accounts each day.

3am for me when I started here, and I had to do it twice since I lost my first account to inactivity :) (Mind you this was when the server was in Pacific Time...Krydos and I are both on the US East Coast).

Setting up websites is a popular night time activity all over the world then. The new Cpanel looks great, my ftp client is not connecting yet so I am not sure but on first impressions it looks like there is 1000mb's of free space on my brand new Tommy account, I had to make do with only 500mb's before on Stevie. Heliohost is certainly the most amazing free web host.

Thanks for your concern Wolstech, FTP is still not working but the cpanel file manager works fine.

 

The fact is that even though I successfully uploaded a work in progress page from the Site Publisher when I visit my webpage from Firefox or Seamonkey it just hangs on connecting for a while and never loads, I guess thats why FTP is timing out and gives me network unreachable.

 

The domain DNS data is 216.218.192.170 that worked with Stevie, should I change it for Tommy I wonder. It is a IPv4 A record type of registration.

:rolleyes: Hmm, I think I have figured it out. In the Cpanel I found the DNS advanced zone editor, the numbers are different than the ones I have on my domain registered free at nl.eu.org so looks like I just have to change them, I can add as many as I like so I will get cracking!



Thankyou Krydos nl.eu.org is all in Dutch and they no longer are showing me the nameservers, strange because I thought it was originally set it up that way, years ago. I will use the Ip numbers.



:D Yes now it works! Thank you and happy holidays to all.
