Domain Names - hosting and trap17

Echo_of_thunder
Okay I am stupid here, I am about to buy a domain name for my site. Can I still be able to have it hosted here at trap17 and use the new dot com? or would I need to move it and spend more money?
I really do love the free hosting here and would hate to have to leave and be charged a monthly fee.
also, if I am able to use it here are there any transfer fees that I need to know of.

I have looked around the forum, maybe I missed it but really did not see anything about this

Thanks

No you are not stupid, how can you say that? Wow. Just because you don't know something doesn't mean you are stupid! I will clear some things for you if you want.


First of all, when you buy a domain for $9.99 you paid it for a year in advance and you OWN that domain and you can use it for your Trap17.com hosted site or any other hosting site. The site will most certainly give you the name of their Name Servers which you'll need to enter in the empty fields in your domain managment page where you enter them and wait for the DNS propagation and then add the domain to your site using their cPanel (this is technical, I don't want to go into details since your question was about something else). If you want the domain to be used for your Trap17 hosted site, after you buy the domain you don't have to enter anything in the fields and they will automagically point to ComputingHost's nameservers and do the same thing as above.

So, all in all, you aren't charged monthly, after you pay for the domain, it's like you paid with your own money and you own the domain for one year. It's yours. You don't lose it.

Hope this clears some things up, if not, please write back and I will try to answer.

  1. Free Hosting From Trap17 + Free Domain Name From Co.cc - (7)
    Hi - This is the first time that I'm trying to register a (free) domain name (at co.cc) and
    get (free) web hosting (at trip.com) and I have some questions to make sure I'm doing everything
    right. I'm still a bit confused about how trap17, xisto and (in my case) co.cc interact. This
    is what I've done so far. (1) I registered the new (sub-)domain "net247.co.cc" at co.cc, which
    offers (some, not all) (sub-)domain names for free. They sent me a message saying I have 48 hours to
    perform the setup for this domain. There are three Setup options at co.cc: "...

    I have a hosting question for those who can answer. Well, my hosting account still says that it is
    pending. How long do I have to wait, and how many posts do I need before it becomes active? I am
    not sure about it, so I thought I would post here--if this is the wrong section, then I really did
    not know where else to put it. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0"

  4. Does 30 Credits = Enough Mycents To Get Free Hosting On Xisto? - (5)
    Hi - I joined trap17 and made some posts, and my credits were over 30, so I decided to sign up for
    a Package 2 hosting plan. Then I filled out the form for the Free Hosting Application request, and
    then I followed the instructions in the reply that later appeared underneath, telling me to sign up
    at xisto using the same email I used at trap17, using the Logic Plan (which costs 1.99 USD a month).
    Very quickly I received 1.00 USD in credits to my xisto billing. My question is: Under the old
    system (using "credits" from trap17 forum posts after getting one's applica...

    Okay so basically I'm confused as to what my account status is at the moment. The first e-mail
    I got from Xisto said it would take about five hours to process my order/set up my account. As of
    now, it has been 21 hours and I have received no second e-mail. However, when I login to
    xistosupport.com/billing, and look under "products and services", it says my Logic Plan is active,
    and even gives me a username and password at the bottom. However, when I click "Login to CPanel" or
    "Login to Webmail" the page won't load. This might have something to do with DNS, I&...

  10. Terminated My Hosting Account But Still In The Hosted Group - (1)
    So not that it really matters much but I thought I'd point this out to avoid possible confusing
    in the near future. I terminated my trap17 hosting account so I can prepare for the transition from
    credits to myCents, but for some reason I'm still in the hosted group... Now I don't mind
    being in the hosted group at all, it's just when the credit system is finally ready to be sent
    off to the gallows and whoever will be in charge of terminating all the accounts might be a bit
    confused when they come across me, a hosted member without a website. Also when ...

  14. Problem With The Trap17 Forum - Inconsistent links and problems with "Latest Activity" (4)
    Hi, I have noticed a bit of a problem with the forums here on Trap17. I don't know if this is a
    problem with the Trap17 implementation, or with Invision Power Board in general, or with a mod that
    is running on the forums here, and I'm sure that someone smarter than me can isolate the source
    of the problem. What I have noticed firstly is that the link that is generated in the top right
    corner of a post within a thread, the link to that particular post (I'll call that the linkback
    link), sometimes links to the post itself, but often just links to the thread. T...

  17. When Trap17 Will Host Non-english Sites? - "All websites must be in English to qualify for free hosting"- (6)
    QUOTE All websites must be in English to qualify for free hosting. We do this to ensure that
    Accounts are legal and have permissable contents. I totally agree with the need to ensure that
    accounts are legal and have permissable contentes, but I believe there's a big portion of forum
    members who speak English as their second language, including myself, and so, I assume some time
    they may need free hosting in their native language. So, why can't Trap17 host sites in those
    non-English languages which have a large community in the forums? I'm sure that t...
