Another Suggestion - Domains and hosting

I currently don't have the time to keep up with this forum and a website in addition to my job.
So, how would I delte my hosting account? I don't want to delete my trap17 forum account, I
like the discussions here, and I may want to try a website gain someday, but right now I don't
have the time. Is it possible to keep my forum account but have my hosting account deleted? Thanks
for any and all info!!! Byron Arnold...

Dear hosted members, We have noticed that many members are knowingly or unknowingly breaking some
basic rules of posting and hosting at T17. This has resulted in a lot of spam posts which in turn
lead to more unnecessary work for moderators and admins, 'defacement' of the foums and
sometimes even banning of the concerned member. The rules are there and you are also there. But
have you read them? Usually, if you have read the rules and understood them, it is not expected
that you break them voluntarily. This however can be expected of some unscrupulous eleme...

Ajulukefrancis ripped me off two gmail invites for hosting and he sent me to this site. He claimed
that he personally had hosting accounts to offer....

This has really scared me a little. I went into my cpanel to see a file that I did not install, in
my File manage. It was called "SubVersion." Pretty confused what it's all about, but I found a
link to the site http://subversion.tigris.org I don't know what it is, or how it got there.
Can anybody PLEASE help me. Also, it seemed like somebody messed with one of my folders, and
chom'd it to 755, when it was 777. This is really freaking me out a little, I think somebody
has gotten ahold of my hosting account....

For the past 15-20 hours I haven't been able to access CPanel or connect to my domain through
FTP but my website seems to work correctly. I was wondering why is that happening when we are
talking about the same hosting account? I figure that a non-working CPanel could be due to problems
in the CPanel framework but how about FTP access? shouldn't that be a direct access to my domain
regardless of CPanel status? Right now the http access to the site works but the ftp access
doesn't... thanks for any hint! ...

Hello I have signed up for the MyCent new system, and I was wondering if my negative balance here is
transferred? When I signed up, I was like 23 credits in the red! I made a good post and that
dropped to 13 or so, and today, checking computing host, my negative credits have not been moved
over /biggrin.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> so am
I therefore on a new, fresh slate, or has the whole thing not worked (aka my forum account not
linked to the computinghost one?). I notice my balance is 700 mycents, is that from the bi...

This is probably a dumb question, but what exactly is VPS hosting? After reading up on wikipedia I
found out it's essentially a server with a bunch of split operating systems on it. The article
also said generally a VPS hosting service gives its users superlevel-access so they could run any
software on the Operating System. Is that true? If it is VPS hosting would be very useful to me and
my clan because we need a dedicated system to run a server im developing (writing it in .NET). So I
would need an updated Windows XP OS to run it on. But for some reason I'm dou...

Many members ask about the matter of hosting credits. Trap17 staff have explained hosting credits
clearly on the site, but if you're not paying attention, have any questions, or need more, here
are some points that will answer your questions. Due to a few user comments, I have had to add a
few more points, and edited some previous points to be a bit more clearer. This is in addition to
the additions mods have made to the posts, which I greatly thank you for. 1. READ THE FORUMS BEFORE
YOU POST A CREDIT QUESTION!!! How many times have the Admins of Trap17 explained h...

This is something that I thought of today.. Once the credit system 3.0 is fully rolled out(Not just
like now where it's running but not completed) what will happen with our current sites? Like,
do we need to start backing up everything now for a server change or something, or will our current
hosting package be automatically rolled over? Just wanting to make sure that I am not going to lose
all of my information and all once the transformation is complete. Also, what if we end up doing
an upgrade later? Will our current site be "copied" into the new host? Or wil...

Would someone teach me the lauguage usage in Trap17 free web hosting? In the TOS(terms of services)
of trap17 free web hosting, http://www.trap17.com/forums/index.php?sho...amp;#entry40137 "All
websites must be in English to qualify for free hosting. We do this to ensure that Accounts are
legal and have permissable contents." But I found at a review site
http://www.free-webhosts.com/reviews/Trap17.php that "They are amazing. Non-English sites ARE
allowed, except you have to have an English overlook page detailing your site so they know what it
is about." Which w...

My free web hosting account request for the second package was approved, which means that at the
time of the request (the topic itself) or the topic, however you want to name it, i had something
over 37 credits, positive and green of course, and when the admin actually approved the request, and
we all know that exactly when we see some changes on the request topic title, for instance, the
addiction of the words: "denied", "approved", et cetera. The point is that when the admin approved
today i had about 45 or 47 credits, and i created then the hosting account that only...

I applied in July for hosting, here . I got it, everything was ok for the last 3 months. Now I
gathered more than 30 credits (thanks to bthaxor's giveaway partially) and I wanted to apply for
Hosting Upgrade. I went to the Requests Forums, and when I clicked on the link for the Request Form
here I got this error message: QUOTE The error returned was: Our records indicate that you
have already submitted an application. Please wait until that application is approved or denied
before submitting another one. Is it something I did wrong? I hope it is so, and...

Sorry if I should have read certain bits of the forum for an answer to my question, but I have
looked and cannot seem to find it in the usual topics. I would like to find a bit more about
domains, and especially addon ones. I see from my cpanel that you can have 9 parked domains and 9
addon domains. At the moment I am using 1 parked domain, which I use as an address for my website
and email. I did it like that since that was the way I was advised to set up my domain. But, if that
is the purpose a parked domain serves, then what are addon domains? Can you, just like wit...

Hi. Last night I had HOSTING CREDITS : 29.67 DAYS credits. Now I have HOSTING CREDITS : 7.06 DAYS.
How on earth did they get reduced that quickly? I am so confused. Any help please?...

Hi, im sure im being stupid and missing something obvious. But i cant get my site to work /sad.gif"
style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> The original index.html page
says to put pages in "public_html" But when i do that, and try to access the page, i see the
original index.html file. any suggestions, sorry, cant really be more specific, i dont really
understand whats going on! :S...

Well, a few days ago I terminated my hosting using the Credit System 2.0, but it still has me in the
group on the forums, which is making my credits go down for nothing. I need this fixed please....

First off, let me say that I have spent considerable effort and time going through the forums
seeking solutions for this problem. I have even gone as far as to seek help from the Xisto Live
support team (they suggested I wait 2 hours and then get back to them. Well I did that, and there
has been no change, and live support is now down). I've also tried changing permissions on both
files and folders via Cpanel, but to no avail. I still end up with the same error: QUOTE
Forbidden You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server. Additionally, a 4...

Hello, First of all, thanks for accepting my request for hosting. I do, however, have some
questions about it: When I first checked out trap17's website, I noticed you provide shell
access... Is this really true? If it is, would I be able to run, for example, an irc bot with the
account? Another thing... Your web server does not gzip content. This causes more traffic to be
generated, etc etc... Is there any chance to activate this feature? The question regarding credits
is a fairly simple one. I'd just like to know how you assure posting quality.. I mean, the c...

I am looking at different solutions for paid hosting and I know that that trap17 has some connection
with a paid hosting company and I would like more info about it because I like the way this place is
run and it has been a good place to have my website. So what is the site for the paid hosting?...

I would like to close my hosting account because I am moving to a new paid host but I am unsure how
to close the account so that if I need to in the future I can open it without having negative
credits. (I realize that all my info from my site will be wiped and if I reopen it will be from
scratch and Ill probably need to get the 30 creds again and what not)...

I am in the negative points as we speak here just to state that. I have had a couple times when I
have went negative because of certain reasons but I have been way to busy lately to do anything but
my personal life. I can't afford to come check here and post as often as I used to. So my
question then would be is there any way I can get my account changed to free hosting with the text
ad? I would really like to not have to make a whole new account and lose all of the stuff from my
hosting now and also my forum account. If it is needed that I post up enough to get pos...

I am not sure.. Is the hosting of websites down in trap17.com My site
http://www.computerkindness.org is not loading. I checked it with,
http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and it tells me, the site is down. Can someone provide me more
info on this. thanks....

Hi, I am having some serious problems with my sub domains. I registered a site with trap17 named
http://zoebelkin.co.cc . Then I made 2 sub domains for the site. One is for the forums section
and the other is for the gallery section. 1> forums.zoebelkin.co.cc 2> gallery.zoebelkin.co.cc
Whenever I type these in the browser adress bar the browser gives an output that it cannot find the
web sites. But they are complete and should show something. Also using www. in front of the sub
domains didn't help. Is www. needed in front of the sub domains. Could you just...

i need some help in addon domains My domain registor uses A record hence in the DNS setting i have
to put the ip address of my trap17 hosting account. The main domain works out perfectly after
changing the DNS to trap17 ip in my domain registor. Now the problem is when i tried adding a
another domain from the same registor to my Addon domains. I changed the DNS setting as like before
in my domain registor, same ip of trap17 hosting account, waiting it the Dns setting updateds as it
takes time only after it started pointed towards trap17 ip hosting account, i tried to a...

well, i searched for the forum for an answer specificly for me and didn't find one, so i was
wodnering if anyone could help me out with sub-domains. I have a .com domain at 1&1.co.uk, as i saw
it advertised/suggested in OpaQue's Signature. so. . .first of all, what is DNS? and is that
relelvent to me at all for this? secondly, i can only forward with my domain using the 1&1 control
panel, BUT is there a way to edit all that in trap17's control panel? because at the moment all
the pages of the website go under the same domain and if refreshed is hit then it go...

I was just wondering if something changed in the way that the hosting credits work here... because
I'm pretty sure that I had enough credits to last a few more days, cause I built up a bunch the
last time I was here... but since I noticed that I haven't gotten many hits today, I checked my
site to see if it was still up and running. That tends to be how I see if I need to get back over
here and posting. Well, I can understand if I ran out of points, cause it certainly wouldn't be
the first time... but what's getting me is that my site has been down less ...

hey all, it was about one hour ago that my website stopped working, apart from my home page which
is 30 bytes and not even proper html (a temp page). around 15mins later, a200 noticed he had the
same problem. then, the cpanel stopped working, followed promptly by the ftp. when i try to access
the cpanel now, i get the following message: QUOTE Sorry for the inconvenience! The filesystem
mounted at / on this server is running out of disk space. cPanel operations have been temporarily
suspended to prevent something bad from happening. Please ask your system admin t...
