Firstly, there is a limit of 8 characters in your account username. So you cannot request user names that are more than 8 characters in length (note that this is completely seperate to your forum user name). If you ask for a username longer than 8 characters, then it will be truncated - so 'mylongname' will become 'mylongna'. Just keep that in mind when applying, otherwise your cool-sounding and carefully selected user name might become something that sounds very retarded.

Secondly, it is preferred that the username and subdomain you are requesting are the same. It isn't absolutely required, just preferred.

Thirdly, as has been explained time and time again, we do not provide top-level domain names. If you have your own, then you can use it with Trap 17 hosting, but you have to purchase it yourself through a domain registrar. GoDaddy are a well known and cheap domain provider.

And lastly, free UNI.CC domain names are no longer allowed to be used as your primary domain name when requesting an account - you must either select a Trap 17 subdomain, or a valid, existing top-level domain name (.com, .net, .org etc) that you currently own. This is due to a lot of problems that have been experienced with this service. You can still use a UNI.CC domain name with your account, but you will have to park it yourself from within cPanel.

Hope this clears a few things up.
