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...

Hi. Last night I had HOSTING CREDITS : 29.67 DAYS credits. Now I have HOSTING CREDITS : 7.06 DAYS.
How on earth did they get reduced that quickly? I am so confused. Any help please?...

Hi, im sure im being stupid and missing something obvious. But i cant get my site to work /sad.gif"
style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad.gif" /> The original index.html page
says to put pages in "public_html" But when i do that, and try to access the page, i see the
original index.html file. any suggestions, sorry, cant really be more specific, i dont really
understand whats going on! :S...

My account was recently suspended because my hosting credits went below 0.00 days, this was totally
unintentional because i was away and didn't have access to a computer. It was a family issue.
Anyways i posted in the forums and my hosting credits are now 6.34 days, but when i try to log into
the c-panel it doesn't want to enter. It doesn't say anything about an error, the page
simply doesn't load. I don't know what the problem is and i want to use the same sub domain.
what should i do. do my credit have to go up to a certain number or what exactly is...

I have a bit of a strange problem that someone here may be able to help with. I am preparing my new
Trap17 account for my new site, and am setting up FTP access. I can login quite fine by using the
default login details, using my cPanel username and password as my FTP login credentials. However, I
have created a new FTP account using cPanel, giving access directly to the /public_html/ folder,
with a username of webmaster. Below is the result of a Core FTP session, which shows that my
password is not being accepted... Resolving ftp.travstatesmen.trap17.com... Connect ...

Well, a few days ago I terminated my hosting using the Credit System 2.0, but it still has me in the
group on the forums, which is making my credits go down for nothing. I need this fixed please....

First off, let me say that I have spent considerable effort and time going through the forums
seeking solutions for this problem. I have even gone as far as to seek help from the Xisto Live
support team (they suggested I wait 2 hours and then get back to them. Well I did that, and there
has been no change, and live support is now down). I've also tried changing permissions on both
files and folders via Cpanel, but to no avail. I still end up with the same error: QUOTE
Forbidden You don't have permission to access /index.php on this server. Additionally, a 4...

Hello, First of all, thanks for accepting my request for hosting. I do, however, have some
questions about it: When I first checked out trap17's website, I noticed you provide shell
access... Is this really true? If it is, would I be able to run, for example, an irc bot with the
account? Another thing... Your web server does not gzip content. This causes more traffic to be
generated, etc etc... Is there any chance to activate this feature? The question regarding credits
is a fairly simple one. I'd just like to know how you assure posting quality.. I mean, the c...

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?...

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...

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)...

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...

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...

I am not sure.. Is the hosting of websites down in trap17.com My site
http://www.computerkindness.org is not loading. I checked it with,
http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/ and it tells me, the site is down. Can someone provide me more
info on this. thanks....

Okay I see a lot of chaos all around and my site zoebelkin.co.cc is still down. Everything including
FTP, CPanel etc are down. My site is on the gamma server. I see that all the servers are moved
around a lot and the IP blocks also changing. So what is the new IP set for 'gamma'. When
doing a reverse check on gamma I see it is still assigned to it's previous IP but when I'm
trying to access the previous IP's port 80 then I get a Server not found error. Also the
gamma.xisto.com name for the server fails to open the default Apache page which it used to ...

Hello, I am trying to add an email account, but I'm having problems. When I go into my Cpanel
and attempt to add an email account I get a message similar to "the account you are trying to
create, You have exceeded the maximum number of email accounts , with the password password
has been created successfully" And, of course, no email account is created. I know I am not
approaching any of my limits (Especially not on email accounts, since it's unlimited) so I'm
getting a bit confused. It may also be worth knowing that I have added email accounts in ...

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?...

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 ...

Hi guys, i'm having a little difficult to post in the forums here, and so I want to cancel my
account, but i don't know how, i'd like that you can do this for me, thanks!...

Hi Guys, i don't have time to put my posts here, because its necessary for my page be hosted,

My account was suspended few minutes ago, i have 30 days left. My login is neweng What happened? If
i can't get my acc back i'm asking you to let me get all my data before closing it. I have a
lot of important stuff in there....

We have noticed many more users unfortunately exceeding their bandwidth and thus not being able to
allow any acces for themselves or others to their own sites. We have also noticed that their has
been a large increase in the number of page views at trap17 from search engines ..etc (which is good
for this community). However we now have come to the conclusion that users linking their avatars
but most likely image signatures are losing a great deal of bandwidth with the amount of page views
totalling over 50,000 views per day. Whenever one of these many guests loads a pag...

hey all, it was about one hour ago that my website stopped working, apart from my home page which
is 30 bytes and not even proper html (a temp page). around 15mins later, a200 noticed he had the
same problem. then, the cpanel stopped working, followed promptly by the ftp. when i try to access
the cpanel now, i get the following message: QUOTE Sorry for the inconvenience! The
filesystem mounted at / on this server is running out of disk space. cPanel operations have been
temporarily suspended to prevent something bad from happening. Please ask your system adm...

can i use my existing domain (mydomain.info) on this hosting and, can you please eksplain to me how
thank you...

So, my hosting application was screened and approved about 5-6 days ago. My understanding is that I
then go to trap17.com/manage and then log in. I do this, and see a link "Check your Installation
Configuration (Important, if you have just activated your account)." When I click this, I get a page
that says that my account status is "NON-HOSTED." Am I doing something wrong? Did I forget to do
something? This may not be the appropriate place to post this, but I couldn't find anywhere else
that made sense, as I can't post topics in the "Hosted Members" area of the f...

This is the first time I've used anything like this. Could someone tell me how to publish things
to the website etc. thanks =]...

I went on a trip for 4 days. I had about 9/10 days of credit left in my account. I came back today
to find that I've got -6.6 days. Can anyone please tell me how this is possible. By the way, I
never received any warning email of any sort....
