before ask,you should read some info about our forum,read here:http://www.trap17.com/forums/new-users-beg...rtant-t106.html

if you have been ready for everything(meet the demand of hosting),you can go http://www.trap17.com/forums/free-web-host...quest-f175.html to request your web hosting account including domin name,cpanel and so on what you want to get.

good luck

Very commonly asked question. Please do a search before actually posting. but anyway it works like this.

You sign up for the domain name by filling out all the information required. After you have done that it will give you a login Id or username... As well as a password to log in. Once you sign up and pay and finish the forums and everything... You could log into the domain Control Panel... Not trap 17 cpanel but the control panel of the domain. Over there you should be able to find the option to change what is called the "Nameservers" this basically directs your site.

So lets say your website is hosted at trap 17 you would simply change the name servers from your control panel to

ns1.trap17.com
and
ns2.trap17.com

If there is a 3 and 4 just leave them blank because only 1 and 2 is needed I think.

Once you have changed the name servers from your domain control panel you could now go and enter your web hosts cpanel.

After you enter your hosting Cpanel click on Park Domains and click on Add domain.

Add the domain you registered by simply typing it inside the box and save it.

Now wait a bit and when you go to www.whateveryouput.com it should go to your website.

Domains are paid yearly, I suggest you use Godaddy.com since they are having a domain sale and they offer excellent support by both phone and email. Just amazing service, I always buy my domain from there... as for domains.com I have never used them so I could not judge.

Good luck.

thanks compute that is the sort of answer i wanted

so that mean's if i got a domain my whole site would be http://www.mydonain.com and if i ever wanted to change to paid hosting all i need to do is disconect my domain from trap17 and from the commtrol pannel in mydomain and then just move it to my new host.

and would the cpannel be under mysite.trap17.com:2082 or mysite.com:2082

thanks this is really helping

If you ever choose to move hosts, all you'd have to do is change the nameservers to those of your new host and tell your new host what your domain is. It is not necessary to change the domain on your old host because your nameservers aren't connected with that host anymore.

You cPanel url will always be http://mydomain.com:2082/ regardless of what host you have.

so that means that if i alrady have a website and the cpannel is mysite.trap17.com:2082 after i add the domain it would become mysite.com:2082 cool

it will probably take a long time to get used to tho lol
