HelioHost Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) https://www.gofundme.com/heliohosts-lily-server-and-storage-increase HelioHost has created a GoFundMe to purchase a new server. We're going to name this server Lily, and our plan is to begin offering Windows hosting in addition to the Linux hosting we already offer. This will allow us to provide even more features than we already do. If you're interested in getting an account on this new server please donate today. Also included in this server purchase we will be gaining 8 TB of storage that we can use to increase storage space on our existing accounts. Available harddrive space is really low right now, and as a result we've had to discontinue free account creations on our flagship server, Tommy. If you're interested in getting a Tommy account, or if you want more storage space on your existing Johnny, Ricky, or Tommy account please donate today.

maicol07 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 And what about increase disk space for Tommy users? Also I'm using HelioMine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 If we reach the goal we will be able to give storage space increases to Tommy accounts as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Can we preorder a lily account? And what features do you plan on implementing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 (edited) We're planning on running Windows Server 2016 operating system on Lily. That means we will be using IIS instead of Apache. We'll be able to offer native windows .NET support. Right now we only offer Mono .NET which isn't a perfect implementation. We'll also may be able to offer Microsoft SQL Database in addition to mysql, postgresql, and sqlite. Basically anything that runs on windows we'll be able to do. Edited January 31, 2018 by Krydos mssql might not be a possibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Node.js? Because I would like to learn then use that. Will you still have PHP on 7.x and Python3.x on the new server? What won't we have on lily that we already have on Tommy? (Sorry for the question just curious) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Node.js is something that HelioHost is very excited to offer, but we won't know for sure if it's possible until we get it done. We will try to install everything we can on Lily. Wolstech is more familiar with Windows hosting than I am so he may be able to answer the questions of what is possible better than I can. I look forward to learning more about windows hosting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolstech Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Once we get it and set it up. We just started raising the money for it, so it will likely be a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krydos Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 What is the minimum amount of donation?GoFundMe requires a donation of $5 or more. If you would like to donate $1-$5 you can do so at https://www.heliohost.org/donate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagnik Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Ok, I'll donate in GoFundMe. At the moment, I want to increase my Existing hosting account storage of Tommy.How much storage can I extend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 (edited) Eventually we're going to offer a system where you can expand your storage more or less as much as you want within reason. For the current GoFundMe, if we reach our goal and once the new server is installed and set up, anyone who donated $5 USD or more will have their storage space doubled to 2000 MB total. Edited January 15, 2018 by Krydos megabytes, not milligrams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
