First you need to make a backup of all the files that make up your website. Most hosts provide a facility to do this if you log in to your control panel. If not, then you'll need to connect to your site with FTP and download all the files onto your computer and keep them safe. If you use a database or anything else like that then you will also need to download a backup of that.

Then you will need to earn enough credits to apply for hosting here at Trap17. You earn credits by posting, and you need a minimum of 10 to apply for an account. You also need to make sure your posts are good quality, well written, and you follow the rules. Check out the readme for all the information you need.

When you make your application you need to say that you intend to use the domain helpnowonline.co.uk If you are approved for an account then you will need to log in to your domain's control panel (this is completely separate from Trap17) and change the name servers to point to Trap17. The name servers need to be changed to:
ns1.trap17.com
ns2.trap17.com

Once you have done all that, you should be able to use your domain with your hosting. Just upload your files again and your website should be working.

there is also free hosting with a forced ad.....paid hosting with no adds i believe is less that $10 a year with computinghost if you on't want ads and you don't want to post to keep your website alive.

    Hi, I have noticed a bit of a problem with the forums here on Trap17. I don't know if this is a
    problem with the Trap17 implementation, or with Invision Power Board in general, or with a mod that
    is running on the forums here, and I'm sure that someone smarter than me can isolate the source
    of the problem. What I have noticed firstly is that the link that is generated in the top right
    corner of a post within a thread, the link to that particular post (I'll call that the linkback
    link), sometimes links to the post itself, but often just links to the thread. T....

  11. When Trap17 Will Host Non-english Sites?
    "All websites must be in English to qualify for free hosting"- (6)
    QUOTE All websites must be in English to qualify for free hosting. We do this to ensure that
    Accounts are legal and have permissable contents. I totally agree with the need to ensure that
    accounts are legal and have permissable contentes, but I believe there's a big portion of forum
    members who speak English as their second language, including myself, and so, I assume some time
    they may need free hosting in their native language. So, why can't Trap17 host sites in those
    non-English languages which have a large community in the forums? I'm sure that t....

    I looked everywhere in Cpanel but I can't find where I can change the DNS records for my domain.
    This is the only thing stopping me from moving my website over to trap17, because I need to manage
    DNS myself. If I can't manage it then at least I should be able to disable it. And Trap17 offers
    professional hosting so they shoulf offer this too. EDIT: There should be somewhere in Cpanel that
    allows us to have Custom DNS Records, but I can't find it or it's not enabled.....
