It's a nice offer, just a couple of questions:
-Do you have to be hosted first and then collect the credits to get the domain?
-Will the domain be a .com or .net .org or other?
-If the one year of having this domain, is over doyou lost your hosting and have to apply for a new one, or it will be replaced by a subdomain?
-I'm so sorry for my poor-lite english but I didn't get the first part, are we allowed to choose one of the three options? Which mean I have to get 250 credits to get a domain and another 250 if I wanted to transfer it etc...?
-If we got a domain and hosting, do we have to pay a credit per day like an ordinary hosting account? Or we will get a year with the hosting offeref for no credits per day/month?
Thanks for this great and unique offer.
1. Yes, you must be hosted and the domain will be pointed to your trap17 account.
2. Any you want, .com, .net, im not sure about .org.
3. I beleive they give you back your sub domain
4. Don't really understand the question, basically you MUST have 280 credits, 250 will be deducted, and for the 250 credits you will get the domain.
5. Umm, I don't get how this one is worded, however, when your hosted, your credits for the host account, is turned into how many days you get to keep your hosting. So 1 credit = 1 day. So when you get 280 credits, they'll take away 250, the 280 is because 1. you can only transfer credits as long as you have 30 credits left, plus then you have 30 days of hosting left.
Hopefully that answers most of your questions.

This was almost confusing.
To clarify as far as I understand, you need to actually have a host first (which is where the 30 credits come in). After you have your host, you spend 250 credits to obtain your domain name, which is basically the DNS address you type into your address bar that redirects you to your page. So you could really have 310 credits, spend 30 to host (or even using another host), then 250 for the domain to redirect to your hosted page.
Did I understand that right?
Also, out of curiosity, when you register for a domain, and someone inputs that address and goes to that domain, does it show as
http://www.mydomain.com/ or does it literally redirect you to let's say
http://www.geocities.com/rayboyington? Will your following pages look like
http://www.mydomain.com/main.htm and
http://www.mydomain.com/anothersection/index.htm or will they actually retain their URL?
Youi need 30 credits, you apply for a hosting account. That 30 credits is deducted, and you must post to keep your hosting, 1 credit = 1 day. Then, to get the domain you need 280 credits. 250 credits is for the domain which will be deducted, then you will have 30 left. The reason you will have 30 left is to make sure you keep your hosting up. When you get the domain you will choose your domain name. Such as yourdomain.net, yourdomain.com, etc.
Your domain will show up as the following:
www.yourdomain.xxx (fill in xxx with .net, etc)
or depending how you set it up
http://yourdomain.xxxSometimes, if you don't take away the sub domain (the trap17 default one)
you can do right click - properties and itll show a different domain. When you go to a different page, it'll show up as like
http://yourdomain.xxx/page.htmlwww.yourdomain.xxx/page.php
etc. Hopefully that answers your question
