How Long Has Your Site Been With Trap17?

1. How long has your site been with Trap17?

2. And have you had any major problem with it?

And if you are a mod, how long has this site been running? And how many sites are hosted by Trap 17 (Approximately)?

I am asking this because everyday I see threads about accounts being suspended for unknown reasons, and just wondering if it would happen to me one day:D

And what's the maximum inactivity period tolerated by Trap17? I heard you can get your credits up till enough for a few years, but I don't think my site will be there after a year if i come back and check again after a year of inactivity (even if I have 500 credit points).

I am a member for less than a week and so far it's been great, my site loads even when the trap17 main page and forum don't.

My site is on trap17 for a long time. I first started in October 2004.

Six months of free hosting is not something that you can expect with any other free host. They close down much earlier.

Fortunately, that's not the case with trap17. The promise is 'forever'. But the return promise expected from every member is that they will 'behave', that is they do not disobey the 'terms of service', and keep sufficient hosting credits.

Trap17 is up for nearly a year now and never looked like it is going to go down! Downtimes are also infrequent and very short whenvr they do occur.

The suspended members are the ones who have misbehaved or those who are inactive for a long time.

So, enjoy your time here and be assured that your hosting here will stay free a loooong loooong time...

Good luck

I first found out about Trap 17 in November last year, and immediately registered, and got my hosting very quickly. My site has been up and running for almost 5 months, without a glitch. Server downtimes are minimal, and actualy expected. In fact, they are shorter than server downtimes for some paid hosts I know of, so, this is great. Trap 17 offers everything a paid host does, and all they expect in return, is we give back something for the community.
I started working now, and have less time on my hands, but I try as much as I can to come, and write a few quality posts, that can help someone. That's all there is to it, nothing more, nothing less

Trap 17 rules!

So, my site has been hosted for ~5 months, and I had no problems with it. Ever.

Sorry about those numerous Account Suspend messages. It is obvious that many members will fear it. But trust me, The hosting credits system is really Generous when it comes to giving hosting credits. If you come up alternate days and spend just 5 mins or even less than it.. you will able to collect a lot of credits. But however, If you sit and try collecting in BULK, It will be difficult.

Ok, as for the many new topics regarding account suspended. It is because of 2 reasons.

1> After the hosting credits system was online, there were many members who were inactive. And those accounts were suspended. This is the main reason why this system was developed so that we can provide hosting to only those people who actually contribute something to this community.

2> The second reason is the server shift. The hosting credits validator runs every 1 hour. It does the main job of checking the accounts. Now, recently we had a server shift. The problem occured when we realised that the data on the old server was not deleted and the CRONs were still active over there. Because of this, the hosting credits of members were getting expired in the old records and they were getting suspended. However, the new records at this present server were safe and did not reflect any suspension. And that was also the main reason for members recieving false emails regarding Account Suspension. I am very much sorry for this ... but mistakes do happen. Since, all the scripts are being developed from scratch (by me), there is still testing to be done. And bugs are fixed as we encounter them.

Also, I request members whose accounts have been suspended and know that they have sufficient credits to directly contact me by PM and not make new topics. Making such topics simply give us bad reputation. Also, being professional in our work, we don't belive in deleting those topics or posts but try to solve them openly and keep the matter transparent.

See the date I started here? Well I think like a week or two or whatever after that. I didn't really actually want to be hosted.. I did but not here because I didn't realise it offered so much stuff.. so in the beginning I think I was only addicted to posting.. as some of you know, I went kind of mad and stuff (lol)

Thats probably like 5 months or more, I don't exactly know. I've had no problems that were caused by trap17 and I love it.

Well i started here close to the time it was first brought up and got popular. I think it was like August of '04 when i first started this site and i was hosted by end of that month i believe. There really hasnt been many problems at all. The recent suspended accounts script bugs. I have been suspended recently over spring break because i was gone and couldnt post but once i got back and got like 4 credit i was back online that day i dont know whats happening to the rest of them.

Well, I joined trap17 in October last year and I got my hosting up quite a while after that, (I had to spend some time trying to fix my pc) and I've had it ever since then, about 4-5 months and my site has been fine with no problems at all. But there was one problem where I once went off and had 3 credits and went back on later on in the day and managed to go to 0.1 credits or something. But that probably was just random and I got my hosting credits back up again. Thats about it, trap17 is just great

My site, feiticeira.trap17.com has been for a month and a half more or less in trap17. I had tried to settle down with three or four fee hostings before but unfortunately they soon dissapeared or gave too much problems and my visitors got bored. Trap17 works extremely good by now and I thank them for that.

Only one day databases were down for a couple of hours but it´s a totally reasonable period.

No problems to speak of, except that the place is a little big (not really a bad thing, just overwhelming) and I don't expect to come accross any that can't be solved.

I have been hosted here at Trap17 since about April on and off. What I mean by on and off is that I got rid of my hosting a few times because I could not think of any ideas so the actual time I have posted at the forums might be 1-2 months less than it seems by when I joined. I have had no problems while I was here so you don't have to worry about having any.

I think I answered this, but a lot months ago. So let me update my opinion. I´m here for a year more or less and I have to say I´m very happy. Although sometimes is hard to write in the forums I only had my account in suspension one time because I had no time to post in a month or something like that (which is absolutely my fault). And fortunately I came in time to reactivate it.

At first, I never thought Trap17 was so excelent service. It´s very hard to find a free hosting of such quality and so estable. There were only a few minor problems with mysql which it seems is consequence of a bad behaviour of some users and they were solved in very short time.

So I just want to say that I´ll stay here as long as Trap17 let me.

My Opinions On Trap17 - Trap17 is more navigatable and has a cooler cPanel than computinghost. (1)

Trap17 is more navigatable and has a cooler cPanel than computinghost... This may be opinion, but
the HTML editor on computinghost is long gone. The cPanel is the newer version but as always newer
isn't always better. So what if they have a new cpanel (ensim did the same thing)…the fact is
they left old software on for years when much newer and more secure versions are ready. Hell, php6
is about to come out. So in two years plesk, cpanel and ensim will finally go to php6 when php 8 is
available. Just the inablilty to apply security patches alone is enough to nev...
