More Than Just Free Hosting - Would it be better to host more than websites?

Accure
I was wondering.. I love trap17 and its a great way to actually host a decent forum.. but.. would it be possible to also host gameservers? they shouldn't be that big and it depents on ur credits how many slots you've got.. for example: I've got 49 credits, and a regular slot for a random game costs 7 credits. Do the maths, its a 7-slot gameserver. If u want a 30 slots gameserver, you'll need 210 credits for 1 month..

I can promise you that hosting gameservers will gain trap17 loads, and i mean loads of new members. I know, its more expensive, since it takes more of the internet connection.. but you'll also gain more money by the advertisements u can make on the servers, and more members on the forum. Since it requires a high creditamount per month alot of peeps will be very active.

Please tell me what you think about this idea,
Greetings, Accure!@

It is a good suggestion and all but missed a major factor, a gaming server takes a huge load and it would be big enough to keep having websites go offline. Also bandwidth is getting very expensive and you can give that much for free on a gaming server and so the closes you could get with a decent gaming server is through the computinghost VPN package or something similar that has a lot of space and bw to be able to run a gaming server.

Websites keep going down as it is. I don't think the environment is stable enough to even add much more sites let alone game servers. It would be nice, but it's impractical.

I see the point.. but as long as you put the right amount of credit needed and a nice special server for gaming up, it wont keep them down.. And, it'll get alot of new customers wich can might make more sponsors, so more money for servers... I was just brainstorming some wink.gif

    Hosting account should include wysiwyg editor (7)
    I think Most of people looking to build a website don't know html or php therefore I think

  4. Set Up A Hosting Service With Asp Based On Trap17 Protocols
    (7)
    Well after receiving a free book for ASP.net 2.0 and of course looking around for some decent ASP
    hosting (so far found 350MB site), I was thinking that why don't you set up a windows server
    hosting based on the trap17 protocols and so those that are interested in ASP programming they can
    get the same great hosting from xisto. Yeah you can pretty much guess I need some ASP hosting to
    try this book out (this group wants me to review it) and too cheap to pay for hosting /tongue.gif"

    you originally posted thie Topic in the Computing Host Forum. Since this is a discussion of
    methods to 'purchase' a Trap17 account, I have moved it to Suggestions. Computing Host has
    accounts as cheap as $3.33 PER YEAR . Check it out. The only valid suggestion here is about
    Payment Method. Moved to Suggestions for OpaQue to see. Closed. The replies are getting redundant,
    verging on Spam. I have an idea for the TRap 17 community...... Seems stupid but i want that Paid

  6. How To Sustain Hosting Credits
    A guide for the members (19)
    I sometimes see trap17 members complaining about spending hours a day in an attempt to sustain
    hosting credits. This is especially true in the reviews. It really isn't that hard. Here's
    my advice on doing so efficiently. 1. The number of posts you make at trap17 doesn't determine
    how many credits you receive. The staff even announced it, and it should be quite obvious, really.
    Credits are determined by the content and quality of your posts. Make longer ones, I guess. 2. So
    how do I sustain a nifty amount of credits? First, set a time you can post at trap17 ....
  7. Negative Hosting Credits Suggestion
    (0)
    im suggesting that there should be a limit that your credits can go into the negatives. a while ago
    i was really busy with school, sports, and everyday stuff. during this time, i did not have much
    time to get online and i stopped going to this site for awhile. now i am back and want to get my
    site back up so i can try some things. the thing is, my credits are way below zero. currently im at
    -31 hosting credits. and you need 5 credits to get your site back up (i think its 5, not sure). i
    was thinking that it might be an okay idea if you put a limit to how far your credits....

  11. Hosting Credit And Inactivity Permission
    Please read.. thx (16)
    Ok, this post will be quite long, I dunno of this such of post has been made by other member or not,
    it’s all bout how trap17 should deal with hosting credit and inactivity in forum. For one or more
    reason someone can’t really connect to the internet, such as logical reasons here: 1. he doesn’t
    have internet at home, so he only get connected while he is in school. What about if the school
    having long time year break holiday? Two months? 2. His computer is blow up, but his father refuse
    to repair it until he get a better grade on next semester. 3. He have a holiday on suc....
  12. Suggestions For Computing Host
    as requested by Qpaque (12)
    I can't reply in the announcement section and didn't see a topic so I am making this one.
    Computing host suggestions: (1) Too many words on the index page. I can't be bothered to sift
    through all that text. - No need to list ALL features of the hosting package. Just pick say the top
    10 features that people care about. Put the details on the page with more information/comparison
    page. - Emphasize your selling features. Is your strategy to be cheap and reliable? If so,
    emphasize your 30 day money back guarentee and uptime information. Also, the pricing ....
  13. Trap Points? Every Post= 1 Point
    every hosting is doing this (7)
    the way it goes is u install some sort of currency thing so when someone makes a post or a reply
    they get a dollar (in ur case a trap17 dollar) which then when ppl have made enough posts like 50
    posts which will = to 50tdollars den they would be rewarded or something like say have a choice to
    have an xtra 10mb or something....

  15. Online Status Indicator (osi) Host
    (3)
    http://www.onlinestatus.org/ retrieves information about your online status and updates your IM
    icons in forum scripts or html pages. Some forum scripts already have this functionality built-in.
    I'm wondering if it can be setup to run on the trap17 servers too. I don't wanna be
    depending on some other hosts uptime. Anyway, it is completely optional, just a suggesting!
