Once you have about 20-30 good posts, you can activate Free Web Hosting by following the instruction below. We have a new point system called \"MyCENT\". And yes, each cent represents 1 American \"cent\". The goal is to make good posts and gather 100 cents. Every time you cross 100, your cents will be converted to US Dollar and deposited into XistoSupport.com Billing/Shopping area.
Ooooo... so where is this Billing/Shopping area? http://www.xistosupport.com/billing/ - This is our official Billing & Support area where we have been servicing ComputingHost and Xisto clients. From today, even Trap17 and Astahost members are included

Note 1 - 10/31/2008 - edit to add the Mycents option is now available for deducting directly from your MyCents account.
Question: Is the one who gets hosted by paying and one from posting in these forums be treated equally, is the support and upgrade options avilable to free users too? Answer: See post 10.
I don't know really anything about Addon domains or parked domains, but im assuming that with the subdomain, once I get enough myCENTS to buy a domain hopefully in a week or two, ill be able to purchase the domain and change the hosting package over from the subdomain to the bought domain correct? Or would I need to buy a package with more addon domains or something?
Wow OpaQue and Buffalo...you both have been working hard! Nice work.
One problem about my myCENTs....I did have 60, but it was decreased for some reason. How come that happened?

Your myCENTS only go up to 100, after 100 they are automatically deposited into your xisto billing account. If you went and checked into your xisto account (click on the mycents link next to any post) and you should see a few dollars in your account already.
Question: Do all the members who are already hosted need to "buy" a package at Xisto?
Yes, and when you are signing up for it you need to give them your cpanel username and password so that they can update your current package.
According to the other forums they are going to wipe every account here that hasn't swapped over to the new system, but there is no date or anything stated as of right now.
Maybe an admin can shed some light on that?
I'm going to assume it will be *after* everything is verified to be working correctly, and everything is stable.
I just bought the Logic plan package with my subdomain i hope it solves my bandwidth problem. all came to a cost of 3$ something per month pretty cheap
Question: Is the one who gets hosted by paying and one from posting in these forums be treated equally, is the support and upgrade options avilable to free users too?
To answer your questions, don't take this in the wrong way but paying customers get the slight edge on support because they are paying with real money for not just the hosting but for problems that may come of it. Of course, with this new system in place odds are the staff are also aware to look out for tickets that deal with this as well and so you get the same support, but depending on the priority of support tickets and the in order them come in, don't expect it to fix in 5 minutes. Now saying support is slow but xisto is working on a small support crew that have to cover quite a lot of hosting accounts.

Yes you will be able to replace your subdomain with a top level domain, but if you plan to do that make sure you give people ample time to know about the new domain and what not though.

If your referring to the current hosted members I am still not to sure about it since I haven't done my transfer, I have to do that tonight then I guess. As for new members who get hosted they will go directly to the new hosting system instead of version 2.

Well I haven't heard to much about how they plan to transfer current hosted members to the new system and so I think once the major programming is completely for mycents that will be the next thing OpaQue will tackle. Of course, if it was already mentioned I must have missed that post somewhere.
Gosh, did you read any of this? It is completely free. All you have to do is post on this site. But read all the tagged threads about signing up for a xisto account and everything. After that if you still have questions then ask them in the appropriate thread. Thanks.
I had site issues with Trap17 when I first found it a few days ago. Guess it was server issues. Few days ago? I meant yesterday xD time flies~ Or goes slow. Anyway, had a few issues with the forum today. So, you bet i've been like "is this place really that good?" ^-^' I'll count it all up to bad timing, haha.

Hi Trap17 hosting members. First of all I would like to thank you hosting members for staying
patient during these difficult times. Xistosupport.com announced Data Center (DC) migration to
bigger facility for the growing demand. This is to provide much more reliable service to all free
web hosting members. However it did not go smoothly as server technicians hoped. Even with their
relentless efforts to bring the service back online there are some known issues which I'd like
to address. The first issue is that those with TLD (top level domain) will notice that pini....
Faster and Secured Hosting. ComputingHost will be activating open_basedir

Dear Members, Today, I found out the culprit who was suspending our free web hosting accounts :-)
It was no other than our OLD EPSILON server on which this forum was hosted. 10 days ago, we had
shifted this forum to a new server with a FASTER Board and processor. The old server had its CRON
service active and services were still running on it. The old EPSILON server never got any NEW POSTS
and hence, the credits did not increase. As a result, All members who got suspended on the old
server were suspended on GAMMA (our free hosting server). For security reasons, accoun....
Dear Members, Yesterday, I fixed the credit system processing cron which took care of suspending /
unsuspending accounts. A wrote a new version of the script from scratch and its much much more

etx. will be no more. If you find anything strange or anything that needs my attention, Feel free to
send me a PM. Thank you for your continued support and patience :-) Sincerely, Shree Trap17.com....

OK, the confusion is when those who got hosting under the old rules see the question "How Many
Hosting Credits Do I Need To Get Hosted?" The following rules are for initial hosting and not for
upgrading an existing account. By the “new” rules you need to have a minimum of 10 hosting credits
to receive hosting Package 1 also known as the “Starter Package”. The nest step for initial hosting
is when you need more space. This need mere effort on your part with quality posts and you can then
apply for package 2 when you have 30 hosting credits. You have to show that you ha....
