Hello, everyone! Let me understand how it does work.

Let's say I will earn 30 credits then I will order the package for 500 MB's.

How long it does last? If it's for month, so I have to make posts the next month in order to continue my hosted site.

If I'm wrong please correct me. Or write something that I need to know as I begginer.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

No, when you apply and receive your account, the account will be re-set to about 1 credit, which means you have to continue posting immediately to earn the credits to maintain your account.
Once you have your account, the scripting continues to deduct credits at the rate of 1 credit per day.

You can, of course, accumulate credits to avoid posting each day, (example: earn 10 credits and you don't need to post for 10 days). The responsibility is on you to make certain that your account always stays in the positive.

there is more information available in the Trap17 Readme.

But which domain I'm going to get? Like name.com or name.net. Because I wanna get the one og them which looks more better than a domain name with two levels. Lile name.qupis.com

Hello Alex,

For the free domain, you can go to xidomains.com and select any domain you want that is priced at 7.99 USD.

Wait, so you do not offer domain which is one level like com, ru, net, info and so on. You just giving the subdomain account, like yourname.trap17.com, correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm new here, but it looked to me like you could get a top-level domain name such as www.mysitename.com, but you can only get it on Trap17 for free for a year if you spend 250 credits. Otherwise you have to spend about $8.

With your hosting account you are given a free subdomain, in the form http://www.subdomain.trap17.com/. Of course, you can have any subdomain that is not already in use by another member here at Trap17.

There is also the possibility to get a free top level domain name. Once you have your hosting account, and you store up over 250 credits, you can 'spend' 250 of your credits on a top level domain (.COM, .NET, .ORG, etc.). Those 250 credits will give you that domain for one year. After a year you would have to spend another 250 credits for the next year.

Alternatively, you can buy a domain name, either from Xisto (the company which owns Trap17) or any other registrar. That can cost anything in the region of around £2 per year up to £30 per year.

Also, as a side note, .RU is not a top level domain. It is known a ccTLD - a country code top level domain. ccTLDs can usually only be registered with a registrar that is signed up with the company managing that country's domains (for example, Nominet in the UK). As Xisto is based in the US, it would not be able to register a .RU address for you.

From what I remember, I had about 40 credits before I applied to the 30 credit package.... after it was accepted, I had ten left... so really... you could save up a crap-load... and then get the 30 cred package......... and have a nice little cushion...
