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.

Hands down the best VPS service provider, I used the Johnny server etc but site got to a point I needed more power. Since then now hosting multiple sites via VPS with them and no issues. Even if you have an issue, the team on discord or the forum sort it out ASAP. Now the support is straight to the point, help you but dont be lazy and make them do everything, they are volunteers and I have greatest respect for them. They go way beyond any other provider ive used, like siteground etc. You cant really complain they provide a VPS, all access, (not illegal stuff) and you do what you need. Any support use discord its fastest, like today I got myself blocked and it was resolved in like 5 mins. Top provider, appreciate all the support and great service.

Thanks for the 5 star review, Gzmo! Most other hosting providers try to keep you helpless, and dependent on them to fix all of the issues. Then of course they try to upgrade you to their highest level of paid support. Here at HelioHost we don't even have paid support options, and we prefer to help people learn how fix their own issues. "Give a person a fish, and they'll eat for a day. Teach a person how to fish, and they'll eat for the rest of their life." Nothing makes our volunteers happier than seeing people learn, and gain valuable hosting knowledge that will empower them for life.

Thanks for the 5 star review, GenScript! We really appreciate the word of mouth recommendations like this. Since we're a small non-profit powered by donations we don't have a budget to spend any money on advertising so we rely on people like you to tell their friends about us, and leave 5 star reviews so people can find out about us.

They are very helpful and quick to respond even with a notice that they do volunteer work and don't have set hours. I have had 0 issues with their service so far and it has been very easy to get started with their guides on their wiki.

Thanks for the 5 star review, Allo! Setting up a new VPS and figuring out SSH can be pretty tough, but it's an amazing skillset to acquire. Glad you haven't given up yet. Just keep asking great questions, and you'll learn a lot about webhosting at HelioHost.
