Now days, free hosting can be seen on all places. But free domains are given only by a few sites or with big hosting plans. Also "Free Domain" catches a popular search keyword. You can provide free domains for 80 or 120 credits. Iam sure that this will increase trap17 popularity as well as its community.

Please post replay about my sugession because i like to take a domain.

This topic was raised before and we have discussed that as of current time, Trap17 is only Free Web Hosting, No Ads service. However, Xisto Corporation is working towards something similar to your idea (and others before you) when the time is right.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Personally i think the way Trap17 runs its hosting now is spot on. At least all us benitit from people posting to get there hosting accounts and like buffalo said its add free. Doesnt need to change really.

wow, trap17 is working on giving free domains ?? , i can hardly believe it ! when i saw this post and decided to reply i was going to write somrthing else but after reading buffalo's post i had to change my mind , i was like who is going to pay for all the domains ? how can opaque or xisto cooperation afford it ? but then again it would be definitley so great if trap17 can come with such a package , but surely even now trap17 is i can say unbeatable in what it is offering in regard to its competitors , having no adds and the other hosting features are much better than some paid hosting plans which give domains , and it is true , you can compare things like bandwidth and many more to paid hosts and find that trap17 is much more better ,as for the server uptime too i'm really impressed , good to luck opaque and xisto and all the staff of trap17, whether free domains or not this is a great site and we are really trapped in it tongue.gif tongue.gif

lol, i think that trap17's hosting is superior over many free hosting sites, it is rare that you find a free host, that offers up-to-date Cpanel, no ads, and as much support as this place does, not to mention the uptime compared to others... do you really think trap17 needs more things to offer? lol but it is a good ideal even if domains are only 5.99

I am new to Trap17, and am a little incredulous that you can offer as many quality services as you already do for free. But the parent corporation is now giving some sort of consideration to providing no-charge domain names? Is there anything on the Xisto website that tells something of the company's history and business model? I would like to read about the company's background, and if you can provide a convenient link to such, I would be most grateful.

Well to know a little bit about Xisto go here http://xisto.com/aboutus.htm

I guess you already found the link called the Trap17 Story so there is no need to post this link.

I believe Computing Host offers decently priced domains. I checked it once, but all the prices are kind of swirling together in my mind. While free domains might not be an option, what about...reduced price domains? For the first year or something? And then we can pay the ComputingHost price. That would be pretty balanced to me. You still get money, we still get a discount for being members. You could also offer discount rates for long purchases.

I'm only thinking economical because there are several thousand members of Trap17. Can you imagine how clustered registrars would be with that many free domains coming in? Think of the money Xisto could use based on that. The best option would be the discount, if at all, for Trap17/Asta/ComputingHost members from Xisto's domain service.

Yay, Biskie helps!
