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...

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...

I went on the billing site, to approximate how much much my hosting would cost a year and it came
out to $39.71 USD. The thing that REALLY drove the price up on this was addon domains (I chose to
have 5 for $23.80). This was more than hlaf of the yearly cost. Are there plans to keep the prices
for the addon domains the same, or if they will be lowered? Here is my plan right now: QUOTE

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...

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?...

I was wondering if Trap17 has a referral program. I see that they ask you put a banner on your site
for them, but is their any personal gain? I know this community is awesome and so is Trap17. I was
just thinking it'd be nice to get referral points as well....

A minute ago, I noticed my site nor my email wer working. So, I decided to come here and check my
amount of credit, as I knew I was getting low. But who can understand my astonishment when I noticed
that I was in a negative state of credit, at -4.15? What happens on this site then? Do they just
eat your credit as they see fit or what? As I said before, I knew I was getting low, and that is why
I came and checked, but yesterday I still had credit worth 1.65 points, today I find myself at
-4.15. So, you can imagine that has really left me wondering how i could have eaten...

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?...

Well thanks to BuffaloHELP now my problem is solved and I can login to my cPanel anytime I want to
and I already started building my website and everything is going smoothly so far /smile.gif"
style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> but there's still one
simple problem that needs to be solved and it has something to do with my credits because when
BuffaloHELP re-activated my account and changed my status from HOSTED back to MEMBERS and then I
created my hosting account all over again with the same login information I requested when I f...

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 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...

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...

info on this. thanks....

I've read through the credit FAQs and the pinned topic but didn't see this answered. Please
excuse the Newby question, but I am a newby. I posted a tutorial yesterday but didn't see any
change in my credits. Is there a way or place to see what credit you get for posts?...

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 ...

the cpanel now, i get the following message: QUOTE Sorry for the inconvenience! The filesystem
