Thanks for the detailed response @mzltest.  I've moved it to our separate thread on HelioHost.  Otherwise it would be going off topic.

My view of HelioHost is getting more positive after my earlier not so good experience with signing up.  The cpanel that comes with Johnny is very up to date and in my opinion even better than what Gigarocket's was - for now any way.  I'm not too crazy about the ads, but if it's paying for an up to date and state of the art cpanel - the real cpanel, then OK.  I'm happy with that.  And to be honest, except for a slight blip when things slowed down a little, in general Johnny is not that slow.  

In the end I seemed to have received a free hosting account with 1 GB disk space and unlimited most of everything else.  I haven't done much yet, but the little I've done has given me confidence that this cpanel is for real.  For example I checked Softaculous and noticed that the latest version of all software packages are available.  So looks like the Admin are updating softaculous and if they are doing that, they must be very much hands on in the WHM.

It's just the first experiences with those strange Web notifications about waiting for Tommy and not getting Tommy that wasn't that user-friendly.  But maybe it's a good thing in a way.  Only someone who is serious will keep on trying.  

@tiwil  You're right.  it's a supply and demand thing.  But have you tried Johnny lately?  It was definitely not slow.  Like there was a blimp only for 5 minutes or so, but in overall speed was completely acceptable to me.  Maybe there are less active users than there usually are.  

I'll report back later after I've given the cpanel a greater workout.

Thanks for the move.I didn't notice a thread was opened for heliohost at that time.

Just to add;you need to sign in every month otherwise your account will be deactivated.

It seems they are a P2H in some aspects.From the forum you can see there is a subforum post for free domain applications.You need 400 good posts a year for a year's free domain.But I don't know whether it is still active.

It seems they previously accepts mining as a kind of donation.

They often have 404 errors on their forums.

For example I checked Softaculous and noticed that the latest version of all software packages are available. 

Yeah.At the last few months for gr's free hosting we used the free version of it.
