We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization powered by a community of hobbyists that offer full-featured web hosting services for free.Our mission is to provide high quality web hosting for free to as many people as possible. We believe that everyone should have access to their own website whether they're a student to a small business owner, and everything in between. We're operated by a team of highly experienced volunteers who are passionate about what we do.Many schools around the world don't have the resources to provide their students with an online environment where they can learn to create a website. HelioHost aims to solve this issue by providing free hosting accounts for the teachers and students.Many small businesses can't afford to pay for hosting in order to sell their products online. HelioHost aims to solve this by providing free hosting and low cost hosting to small businesses to allow them to have an online presence.We offer as many free hosting accounts as we can, and we also offer donation based hosting accounts to help offset the cost of providing hosting for free. In addition, we provide affordable VPS hosting plans and scaling pricing based on usage for people who wish to upgrade from the free plans.We encourage community members to help each other, and recruit new volunteers from the community who are the most helpful. We own all of our own hardware so we don't have to resell hosting services from other companies which helps us keep costs low.

Thanks for the 5 star review, David! Yeah, it's really quick and easy to get a website of your own up and running quickly on HelioHost. Generally you'll be set up with a fully functional free domain, and free SSL in less than 2 hours. We offer a free 1-click installer for nearly 500 common software packages, and even an AI website creator built into the control panel. Let us know if you need help with anything.

Thanks for the 5 star review, Kaggelaki! We also really appreciate all of the donations you have given to HelioHost as well. What you are doing to help the poor farmers in your area comply with government regulations is really commendable, and I'm sure the farmers appreciate you too. Keep making the world a better place!

Thanks for the 5 star review, Wardrich! We're really glad you've noticed the hard work of our volunteers. Not everyone is always nice to our unpaid volunteers, but it's people like you who appreciate what we do that keeps us going. As long as we have nice people and donors we'll keep doing like we have been for 21 years now.

Communication, service, helpful, low cost.

Thanks for the 5 star review, JH! Communication and transparency is one of our top goals. A lot of companies try to hide their downtime and their issues behind a private ticket system, and keep a steady stream of useless upgrade demands blasting your inbox every day. We always try to keep our customers informed and keep the community up to date with what is going on, but also strive to keep the emails we send at a reasonable level with only very important information being sent to you. A lot of people are completely shocked by how few emails we send, and we will never sell your email address or any other private information to advertisers.

Thanks for the 5 star review, Oscar! It looks like you haven't been upgraded to the new Tommy server yet, so I went ahead and started moving you. If you think the old Tommy performed well, just wait until you see how much faster Tommy2 is. Since you created your account in 2019 you got to experience the old control panel that we used to use. People used to complain about how confusing it was, and how they could never figure out how to do anything. When we switched to Plesk pretty much everyone has given positive responses about how much easier it is to figure out. Let us know if you need help with anything.
