I am looking for a free host with sql and php and came all the way to here, now I am trying to get a chance to try this. I am just wondering, how this hosting thing works on trap17? I haven't been able to figure it out yet, when you get 10 posts you get a message or something? anyway, hoplefully I can know very soon.

Wow, well you say it's not that hard, but some of us have alot to learn! I think the posting is a good idea, even if I don't understand it all I'll at least absorb some by osmosis.....

From what I've read so far, you guys seem to know your stuff!

Wish me luck, I only know old-fashioned html and want a small business site.

Well my friend told me about iconrate.net which is a little better than trap in space but only 3 MySQL DBs which is a biggy for me. Plus there community cannot compare to traps so I stick. There fore I also say that trap17 is Thee best free webhosting on the net.

Ok this is how trap17 works.

When you get 15 posts, you are eligible for package one hosting. However, that doesn't mean you just post a couple of words here and there! You must post over 300 charecters in each post to count as a real post and to rize your post count. The post must have content, for instance, like my post you are reading now! In order for you to get your hosting, you MUST stay active! This means posting a couple of GOOD posts every week, preferably more than 5 posts per week!

When you reach 25 posts, you are eligible for DOMAIN HOSTING. Domain hosting allows you to host your own domain and mailservers. If you do not have a domain, you may also use uni.cc domains (www.uni.cc) and cjb.net domains (www.cjb.net). Neverless, you still MUST post actively in the forums!

The way you request hosting is simple. You must first have the sufficient amount of posts. After, you go to the forum "Request Hosting" Over there, you should read all the stickies posted. (In case you don't know, stickies are posts that will NOT BE BUMPED by new posts.) After, follow the format below:

Sub-domain or domain name
(Example: http://example.trap17.com, or http://example.com)
Name/Nickname
Nationality
Theme of website
Reason for choosing us
Confirmation you understand the rules and agree to stay active and contribute to the community.
Package You want

After you have posted, you will have to wait until the administrator to approve your account. This usually takes less than a day.

Final step! Go to the process link that the adminstrator will provide, and create your hosting account using the form. (The script was written by the talented administrator!) You are finished!

REMEMBER TO STAY ACTIVE! It helps trap17 because you will direct ad revenues!

If you have a more specific question, you can reply to this topic! If you are feeling generous and want to give me a reputation for my hard work, feel free to do so! Remember, I am not here to try to get reputation, I am here to help everyone with my prior knowledge, with a little bit of research! Good luck!

Best Regards,
Johnny

it is rather easy to set up a web host all you have to do is buy a resseller package off of a company such as heart internet. You can even buy resseller packages off ebay for really cheap prices and they have decent offers with unmetered bandwidth and space. ive seen one that has everything unmetered cPanel control panel 9 fantastico etc for only £10 a year.

then yo just have to buy a domain name and set up packages

Well, I have heard a lot of great things about free hosting and it really is a matter of being able to find the right one. I suppose it helps to get advice from message boards and other people will a lot of experience, which is what I am trying to do now. Ha! But yeah, theres a lot of cool stuff out there I want to learn but I have so little time with school and all. Sigh...
