They might have changed the minimum hosting credits thing. However I dont know why the existo page came up. Thats kinda strange if you ask me. But my website works fine except for the PHP error at the top but thats my fault lol.

I think I'm also having a similar problem. I can't seem to log into my CPanel either. Am I suspended as well? I have 8.3 credits right now, so I don't think I'm suspended. Weird. I hope it's fixed, whatever the problem is.

I have the same problem. my website was working 4AM yesterday, then down around 12 noon. We still need to hear the official statement from the administrators regarding this. meanwhile try clicking some advertisments to support Trap 17. maybe they are not getting enough cash to support our free hosting accounts that's why.

I am afraid to say my account has been suspended too. It is glad to hear I am not the only one though, hopefully this situation can be sorted as soon as possible.

we will look into this sudden surge of "suspended account" reports. we will report back when we have an answer. in the meantime, you can post more to add to your hosting credits, just don't spam/copy posts (the system will subtract credits when this is found).

2. The System Doesn't Let Me Apply For Hosting Upgrade [resolved] - (4)

   I applied in July for hosting, here . I got it, everything was ok for the last 3 months. Now I
   gathered more than 30 credits (thanks to bthaxor's giveaway partially) and I wanted to apply for

3. The Matter Of Hosting Credits - Got a question? Find the answers! (49)

   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

5. Referral Credits? - (5)

   I was wondering if Trap17 has a referral program. I see that they ask you put a banner on your site
   for them, but is their any personal gain? I know this community is awesome and so is Trap17. I was
   just thinking it'd be nice to get referral points as well....

6. I Really Do Not Understand - How do they calculate your credits? (6)

   A minute ago, I noticed my site nor my email wer working. So, I decided to come here and check my
   amount of credit, as I knew I was getting low. But who can understand my astonishment when I noticed
   that I was in a negative state of credit, at -4.15? What happens on this site then? Do they just
   eat your credit as they see fit or what? As I said before, I knew I was getting low, and that is why
   I came and checked, but yesterday I still had credit worth 1.65 points, today I find myself at
   -4.15. So, you can imagine that has really left me wondering how i could have eaten...

8. Suspended Account - I need help and fast (1)

   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.

9. Cannot Connect With Ftp [resolved] - Default account can, but not created FTP account. (3)

   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,

    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

12. A Couple Of Doubts - Regarding ssh and gzip, and those hosting credits loool (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...

15. 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...

    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 ...
