How You Can Help
HelioHost provides community-powered free hosting for everyone. There are several ways you can help support us.
Make a Donation
Donate via PayPal or Crypto
The best way to help us keep providing free hosting is by donating at heliohost.org/donate. You can donate via PayPal or the cryptocurrencies listed on the page.
Corporate Donation Matching
A lot of employers will make a donation match to approved 501(c)(3) charities, which is what HelioHost is. So, if you donate $100 your job might match your donation and send another $100 to us. You can ask at work to see if your company has a donation matching program like this, and then search for us under 'Helio Networks' or 'HelioHost'.
Donate via Charityvest
You can donate to Helio Networks via Charityvest and it will be fee-free, since HelioHost is registered with the PayPal Giving Fund, which is the method Charityvest uses to enable electronic payments to charities.
Donate via Facebook
In some countries, you can donate on the HelioHost Facebook page.
Donate via Brave browser
HelioHost is a Verified Creator in the Brave Creators program. This means that if you use the Brave web browser, you can now donate to us by clicking the triangle shape while viewing heliohost.org or helionet.org or Plesk, and then clicking Send Contribution. If you have auto-contribute enabled, you can donate to us simply by using our website and forum as you normally would.
If you're not familiar with the Brave browser, check out PrivacyTests.org. Brave is based on Chromium just like Chrome and Edge, but has a built in ad-blocker and annoyance blocker that is better than most extensions you can install on any of the other browsers. You can even get paid to visit websites if you enable the option in the settings and set up a crypto wallet.
Turn Brave Ad-Blocker Off
Using Brave's ad-blocker is a great way to support us with donations instead of viewing ads. However, as a non-profit fully funded by advertising revenue and donations, we appreciate you viewing our ads to help us stay in business. To double your donations from Brave, you can disable the Brave shields on our pages to view our ads, while also auto-contributing.
Donate via Edge browser
In some countries, you can donate using the Edge browser by visiting heliohost.org and clicking the 'Donate' button.
Donate Cash in Edge
You can choose to donate cash via Benevity:
Donate Rewards Points in Edge
You can choose to donate using Microsoft Rewards points via Benevity.
Please note that:
- Donations sent from Microsoft Rewards can take at least 2 months to be verified
- Donations of 1000 points or less just disappear
| Microsoft Points Donated | Amount Received by HelioHost |
|---|---|
| 1000 points | 0 cents |
| 3000 points | 5 cents |
| 5000 points | 10 cents |
| 50,000 points | $1 USD for a Tommy invite |
Allow Ads on Our Sites
If you don't view our ads, we don't earn any ad revenue from your visits to our site. It's free to allow our ads, and we promise they're not too annoying. Who knows? You might even see an ad for something amazing that you want to check out. Make sure to add our sites below to your to your ad-blocker "Allow List":
- heliohost.org
- helionet.org
- johnny.heliohost.org
- tommy.heliohost.org

HelioHost has an affiliate agreement with Namecheap, so if you're in the market for a new domain we highly recommend purchasing it from them. Once you set the nameservers to 'ns1.heliohost.org' and 'ns2.heliohost.org', we can host the website on your brand new domain for you.
