FAQ : Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have to be hosted first and then collect the credits to get the domain?

Yes, it is necessary.

Will the domain be a .com or .net .org or other?

.com/.net/.org/.info allowed. More to be added soon.

If the one year of having this domain is over, do you lose your hosting and have to apply for a new one, or it will be replaced by a subdomain?

Members will have the opportunity to collect 250 credits again by the next year and apply for renewal before 1 month of expiry.
Members also have the option to manually RENEW their domain by payment at http://www.xidomains.com/

Are we allowed to choose one of the three options? Which mean I have to get 250 credits to get a domain and another 250 if I wanted to transfer it etc...?

No. 250 credits for REGISTRATION OR TRANSFER.

If we got a domain and hosting, do we have to pay a credit per day like an ordinary hosting account? Or we will get a year with the hosting offer for no credits per day/month?

Everything continues as before. You must have credits in your account to keep up your hosting.

How long will this offer be available?

This offer is in BETA stage. We cannot guarantee any date of expiry for this offer. Its under testing and depending on the response, We might change the rules in future.

How many members can apply for free domain?

1 Hosted Member => 1 Domain.

You guys keep getting better. Just so I am clear, you would need 280 days of hosting to be able to apply?

Yes, but only 250 credits will be deducted.

It's a nice offer, just a couple of questions:
-Do you have to be hosted first and then collect the credits to get the domain?
-Will the domain be a .com or .net .org or other?
-If the one year of having this domain, is over doyou lost your hosting and have to apply for a new one, or it will be replaced by a subdomain?
-I'm so sorry for my poor-lite english but I didn't get the first part, are we allowed to choose one of the three options? Which mean I have to get 250 credits to get a domain and another 250 if I wanted to transfer it etc...?
-If we got a domain and hosting, do we have to pay a credit per day like an ordinary hosting account? Or we will get a year with the hosting offeref for no credits per day/month?
Thanks for this great and unique offer.

Thank you so much Opaque, you have made Trap17 the best hosting ever. PERIOD. Nobody can come close to what you guys have done. Just another step for Xisto to make it tot hte top of the hosting world. Even though 250 credits is a lot, thats great news and I am going to start posting quality posts to try and get a domain. THANK YOU, YOU GUYS ROCK

I would say it's a interesting concept to do this for the trap members. However, the credit cost would drive most people away, yeah you will see a huge increase in posting just to get those credits. But then the posting will stop once they get the domain name. Yeah people will jump to getting a free domain, but if your hosting would you rather have a domain or 250 days of free hosting at least on trap?

Now looking at the post it mentions that the website will be hosted by xisto, do you mean the website has to be already hosted by a astahost, trap17, qupis, computinghost account before you get the domain or your current site will be transfered to a xisto account?

nice offer OpaQue! just few questions!
do we get TLD like .com?
how long will this offer be available?
how many members can apply for free domain?

thanks for your response! you will see me posting, but quality is more important than quantity!
cheers
