I think Trap17 should offer Free Domains for hosted members , that way will make Trap17 the best Free Webhosting ever and willbe far from the 2nd place. Free Domains are very useful , they make hosted members' site better a lot , so I hope Trap17 will do so.

Yes, everyone wants a free domain name but in my opinion it would ruin Trap17/Astahost. It would become so crowded here with people that just want a free domain name. When they find out they have to get XXX amounts of credits they'll moan and leave.
It would put alot more stress on the admins, validating domain names as well as hosting accounts and managing the site. The moderators would have a tough job with all the spam, people asking for free domains etc.

It would be nice, but it wouldn't be good.

I just want to give my 2 cents on this matter.

As joining trap17.com, I have 37 credits to my account now, I am also a relatively new user to trap17.com. I am amazed by trap17 services, giving what a paid host would give you with the exception of a domain name, and all this for FREE. That for me is the major plus, the simple requirement of keeping your credits above 0 stands, but when you come onto the forum, you realised that there is so many things to discuss about, learn and even teach to others. You will never feel that that there is nothing to post about.

What Trap17 is doing, an ad-less site hosting with all the latest up to date features like mySQL ... etc, should have at least cost us a minimal fee, but it isn't here. On top of that, there is NO free hosting service out there who can match Trap17, I am not sure where they get the money to do all these things for free. But my guess is that it is done through the countless number of people visiting the forum which is giving them the necessary funds to keep their members happy, and I am sure it would be appreciated if every active member would visit the site regularly. Is that how you guys at Trap17 earn your finances to keep the servers going?

And now with the free domain name, of course I would love that. It would be much better to get http://darran.com/ than http://darran.trap17.com/ but I would leave it to Trap17. I am already more than satisfied with Trap17 and if they want to make it even better, but at the same time not compromising our site's availability, I would say "GO FOR IT".

I think that Trap17 should make something like this :

Starter Package : 10 Credits
Starter Package + Free Dmain : 50 Credits

Regular Package : 30 Credits
Regular Package + Free Domain : 100 Credits

Or something similar to that , and if the person choose to have a package with a domain , after be approved , his credits change to the default but it drop 2 times faster than the normal hosted no domain members (That means he will lose 2 credits per day). That way would be good , I hope Trap17 would offer free domain

Maybe trap17 can offer free domain and then trap17 has the fullest control over the domain and we can only use the domain on trap17 hosted accounts, which will kill off those freeloader trying to get their hands on a free domain... Well, having a free domain on our trap17 hosted accounts will sure look good on us, I wouldnt mind posting more for that lol..

I don't need a domain name at the moment. Anyway I'm lucky that I'm hosted here in the first place, and wants wrong with rather charging a small fee? I'd rather support trap17 than another company

I really love free domain and hope Trap17 could provide them for us , I will post as much as I can if I can get a domain name for my web site , that is really cool.

Of course Trap17 should offer Free domain name for us , our sites will grow as fast as possible and Trap17 would become the best web site free hosting ever and everyone will know about it and come here. Also , something.com is better than something.trap17.com like what you guys said , but if the domain name is too hard to be offered here , I still happy that I have a perfect web hosting site (er , I mean I have a site hosted by a perfect hosting site). Trap17 currently has MySQL , File Manager , PostgreSQL , phpMyAdmin , phpPgAdmin , Sub Domain names and more more of them but all are FREE , if plus domain names will be perfect

A free domain name will be a good idea for us all.


Trap17 offered phpMyAdmin , phpPgAdmin , MySQL , PostgreSQL , File Manager , unlimited sub domains , unlimited databases and more with even a paid hosting can't give you that much.


And of course it will become a perfect web hosting site if Trap17 Admins decide to offer free domain name as well.
