I've paid the credits for the hosting and all, and changed my name servers to the ns1/ns2 trap17 servers
and i type in my website url and it says freeserver or whatever. does it take like a day or two for the hosting to come up?

Nope.
I went here: http://www.chipmunkinc.net/ and saw the Trap17 supplied default page which tells me that your account is all set up nice.
What you need to do now is replace that Index.html file inside the public_html folder of your account. Two methods to choose from. Use an FTP software to connect to the trap17 servers and upload the file(s) for your site which you have created on your local machine or use the cpanel File Manager to do the same thing. FTP is easier once you are practiced at it and most FTP clients allow you to move whole directories at once, whereas the cpanel File Manager is one file at a time, so if you only have a couple of files, use these to begin. Rather than delete the default Index.html, simply rename it before adding the new Index.html. That way, you have a copy to revert to if you need it.
Enter your cpanel using this URL: http://www.chipmunkinc.net/cpanel
and answer the questions about your login info and you are all set.
To move around your account file structure, click on the Icons beside the folder name, not the file name itself.
Hope this helps. Post again if you need more info.

Well sorry not to be rude or anything. but i know how to do all that stuff, its just i had a previous free host and i deleted the account and when i went to my web page it said something like freeserver.com get your free server here. but it seems to be fine now. thanks
Well nevermind i just went to it and this is what i get

any updates on this, tidewell? your index page currently says:

a visit to the forum as suggested, shows a phpbb default test forum. by the looks of it, everything is running fine and well. still having trouble?

Sort of and not really. i cannot access my cpanel at school is the problem. i had to wait untill i got home to make the index and forum. i still dont know WHY i cant access it at school. but theres only 4 days of school left anyways

I have the same problem, I learn everything from my teacher so when I try to explain things to him its hard without being able to SHOW him, I get this message:

which I'm assuming means that the port used to send information back and forth between your computer at school and the server is already in use or is blocked. Most likely it is in use if you are using a computer that is on the school network. hope this helped explain something, and maybe someone will post a way they found around this little issue.

You should be studying at school. That's why your school placed block of web access to certain sites.

The issue is resolved with domain prapagation. Your website is up and running. Remember to use proper and specific name for your topic title and do not start off with words like, "help!...".
