1. I Am Looking Into Going With A Paid Hosting Service And Trap17 Has Been Good To Me So Whats The Paid Hosting's Website? - (7)

   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?...

3. The State Of Trap17 - Some Things Are Getting Pretty Annoying Here (24)

   I, the founder of trap17, declare that this is one of the most hilarious topics ever made. Members
   please take your time to read this and do enjoy it. My special thanks to Buff and Velma. I
   personally ditest trap17 because of it's clutter, it's impossibility to navigate, and the
   fact that admins like buffalohelp haven't been banned yet, as he abuses his power to the point
   of threatening free speech. Trap17 is way to orienated on its appeal, and not it's content,
   which is what's really important. If you make something flashy but pointless, all your...

4. Have You Read The Rules? - TOS, privacy policy, hosting rules... (27)

   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...

5. Trap17 Dynamic Recent Post/topic Image - (17)

   Some may remember a while back I created a dynamic image that would tell you your post count and
   last active for trap. It had a bit of a run but then died off. It just wasn't very useful.
   BUT NOW I am presenting the most epic trap17 image Ever. This one is SUPER customizable and already
   works for ALL MEMBERS ! It is designed to be put in your sig so other members can see the
   recent topics you have written. It is still in early early beta stage but soon it will have the
   date posted along with some other cool features. So I'm sure you are all excited t...

7. How Do I Close My Hosting Account? - (1)

   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)...

8. The Trap17 Affiliates - (2)

   Hi, I thought I'd make this post because a lot of members of Trap17 link to each others website,
   what I thought would be good is that anyone who wanted to become part of the "affiliates" group post
   there web adress here, then we make a list of all the adresses and everyone who applied link to all
   the sites who applied and then we get a big chain of linking members, when I say link I mean in the
   footer or on a special links page, blogroll whatever so long as the links can be found somewhere
   easily accessable on your site, the more places the better! EDIT: You ...

10. How Do I Delete My Hosting Account? - (2)

    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...

11. Transfer To Free Hosting? [resolved] - (9)

    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...

12. Brutalwarfare.trap17.com Suspended Due To Abuse - vBulletin License (0)

    brutalwarfare.trap17.com suspended due to abuse complaint. I am forced to suspend this site for the
    invalid vBulletin license running on the website. Usually I never put up complaints like this, but
    because I consider Trap17 as one family and everyone here as young webmasters who are eager to
    learn. I want to alert everyone to not use any type of nullified or free scripts on your website.
    There are millions of free alternatives available. If you are using a nullified version, I request
    people to convert to paid license if your website is working for you. Else, you are...

14. Trap17 150 Credit Giveaway - (30)

    Well as I promised, I'm giving away all my award credits for winning the trap17 awards.
    Actually these aren't all of them but I'm saving the rest for other giveaways. So anyway on
    with the giveaway. I've been thinking about how exactly I should do this one. If I just made
    one challenge and gave away 150 credits that would make one person very happy and the other members
    very sad. So then I thought, why not have the first person to answer correctly win 100, second win
    50, and third and fourth place winners win 25. Well this was a good idea, but still...

16. The Matter Of Hosting Credits - Got a question? Find the answers! (42)

    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...

17. 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...

18. My Account Status - I am still hosted (5)

    It is a shock, it has been almost a year since I moved to ComputingHost but I just realized that I
    am still in the hosted group, could I and my website (used to be http://darran.trap17.com) kindly
    be removed because I am not using my trap17 account anymore and the space could be given to someone
    who has been contributing well on the forum and is a regular. 1 quick question: will my credits be
    deducted daily if I am no longer being hosted?...

19. Change To The Way Hosting Credits Work? - Was something changed when I wasn't looking? (8)

    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 ...

21. Directory Restricted? - I can't edit one of my site's directories (7)

    My website is split into two directories: "site", which is my main site's content, and "forum",
    which explains itself. The "site" directory is mostly filled with Joomla! files due to my
    website using the Joomla! CMS. Previously, I was able to upload templates and extensions to
    Joomla! without fail. However, since today whenever I've done either of these I just get
    "failed" messages. Unable to source it to a problem with Joomla, I tried to access the directories
    using FTP. I was able to access and rename all my directories using FTP, but whenever I t...

    Hi, I was wondering how I can find the numerical IP address of my site. I have my site hosted at
    Trap 17, but instead of a subdomain i use my own (parked) domain name. Can anyone tell me how I can
    find the address of my web site in the shape of 81.200.30.55 (this is just a random example) instead
    of in the shape of http://www.vlaanderen-flanders.org.uk ? Thanks for any advice. ...

    is 30 bytes and not even proper html (a temp page). around 15mins later, a200 noticed he had the

30. Question About Hosting Getting Re-activated [resolved] - (3)

    Good day! I have some questions about my hosting account. I have been idle for quite some time
    and unfortunately, I wasn't able to gather enough credits so my hosting got suspended (after my
    credits reached negative). Last weekend I gathered enough (around 10 credits) so my website could be
    reactivated again. I was told by my friend yesterday that my site was now accessible however, I
    realized that it was only my main page that has been activated, the subdomains were not. Whenever I
    try to access it, a trap suspended page keeps on appearing. Can anyone please exp...
