Free Web Hosting (free Trap17/asta Subdomain Hosting Procedure)

Welcome to Trap17:Free Web Hosting, No Ads

Once you have about 20-30 good posts, you can activate Free Web Hosting by following the instruction below. We have a new point system called \"MyCENT\". And yes, each cent represents 1 American \"cent\". The goal is to make good posts and gather 100 cents. Every time you cross 100, your cents will be converted to US Dollar and deposited into XistoSupport.com Billing/Shopping area.

Ooooo... so where is this Billing/Shopping area?
http://www.xistosupport.com/billing/ - This is our official Billing & Support area where we have been servicing ComputingHost and Xisto clients. From today, even Trap17 and Astahost members are included

If you have not registered with Billing & Support take this time to register to begin your Free Web Hosting, No Ads account activation. This step is crucial to your hosting account. Do not skip this step.

Visit Billing & Support and use the SAME email address you registered with our forum.

I don't know really anything about Addon domains or parked domains, but im assuming that with the subdomain, once I get enough myCENTS
to buy a domain hopefully in a week or two, ill be able to purchase the domain and change the hosting package over from the subdomain to
the bought domain correct? Or would I need to buy a package with more addon domains or something?

Wow OpaQue and Buffalo...you both have been working hard! Nice work.

One problem about my myCENTs....I did have 60, but it was decreased for some reason. How come that happened?

Your myCENTS only go up to 100, after 100 they are automatically deposited into your xisto billing account.
If you went and checked into your xisto account (click on the mycents link next to any post) and you should
see a few dollars in your account already.

Question: Do all the members who are already hosted need to "buy" a package at Xisto?

Thanks OpaQue This guide helps and the pictures really help, previously i didnt know how to use my trap17 domain name but now i do thanks alot!

Yes, and when you are signing up for it you need to give them your cpanel username and password so that they can update your current package.

According to the other forums they are going to wipe every account here that hasn't swapped over to the new system, but there is no date or anything stated as of right now.

Maybe an admin can shed some light on that?

I'm going to assume it will be *after* everything is verified to be working correctly, and everything is stable.

I just bought the Logic plan package with my subdomain i hope it solves my bandwidth problem.
all came to a cost of 3$ something per month pretty cheap

To answer your questions, don't take this in the wrong way but paying customers get the slight edge on support because they are paying with real money for not just the hosting but for problems that may come of it. Of course, with this new system in place odds are the staff are also aware to look out for tickets that deal with this as well and so you get the same support, but depending on the priority of support tickets and the in order them come in, don't expect it to fix in 5 minutes. Now saying support is slow but xisto is working on a small support crew that have to cover quite a lot of hosting accounts.



Yes you will be able to replace your subdomain with a top level domain, but if you plan to do that make sure you give people ample time to know about the new domain and what not though.



If your referring to the current hosted members I am still not to sure about it since I haven't done my transfer, I have to do that tonight then I guess. As for new members who get hosted they will go directly to the new hosting system instead of version 2.



Well I haven't heard to much about how they plan to transfer current hosted members to the new system and so I think once the major programming is completely for mycents that will be the next thing OpaQue will tackle. Of course, if it was already mentioned I must have missed that post somewhere.
