Well, here it is the close of my second year with Trap 17. Seems like only last month I was
lured over here from Asta Host by JLHaslip. Actually it was on 5th January 2006 and 2 days later I
got my hosting approved. I have really enjoyed my time on the forum, all the support I have
received from so many members, greeting new members as they join and introduce themselves, helping
out whenever I can (which is seldom in the tech department, since I am not extremely computer or
graphics literate, but I do my best), giving opinions on subjects I may have a little mo...

Yesterday my host request was approved. Today i was making the website and i tried to host a forum.
The website theme is programming, helps, guides, computing, tutorials on different programming
languages. And i realised that a forum is more handy for helps and tutorials, and the users can help
each others in a easier way. My doubt is: Is it really necessary a portal for my case? And can i
sell programs at my website if i want to? Feel free to give your opinion. ~ Greetz João Lopes...

I am using SmartFTP but it will not connect to the site here. I am using my username and password.
This is what it keeps saying: Resolving host name "ftp://ftp.itek.trap17.com/" Unable to resolve
host name. Active Help: http://www.smartftp.com/support/kb/81 Cannot login waiting to retry
(30s)... What am I doing wrong here?...

use an Apache Server and if not is there anyway we can since it says its free...

Well almost two days ago I stumbled across Flickr and decided that since I've seen it before and
I had the time, I would join. Y'know what? It's great! Note Flickr relies on a yahoo
account! if you already have a yahoo email, thats great! all you'll have to do is choose
a username and your'e away.. if not it's still pretty easy (contrary to popular opinion

me remember the Xisto effort on a Myspace & Orkut that never really took off. We...

I am moving my phpBB2 forums from my old host, my-php.net, to this one. I have full access to my old
forums. I was wanting help on this to make sure nothing goes wrong. My forum members and I can not
risk having to lose all of our current information. So what I am thinking I have to do is. Export
my forums mySQL database with phpmyadmin. Import it into my database here on this host. Move the
forum directory to this sites ftp account. Change the root directory in my forum settings. I know
there has to be some things I have to change right? Some files or other settings...

Just was looking at the phpinfo for the Hosted Accounts and do we really have PHP Version 5.1.6?

Well, my partners on my forum has decided to move our site to a newer host. A paid one to be exact.
And we did that already. Now all we need to do is move our forum over to the new host. We want to
do this without losing all of our posts and other data. I know it has something to do with the MySQL
files but I don't really understand it. Some help would be appreciated. We are running Invision
Power Board 1.3.1 final Also, we're thinking about upgrading our board to a newer version of
IPB because we heard that its better in more ways than one. But then again, it...

I had an old account here, but I am currently paying for computing host. When the credits for the
account here ran negative, my site got suspended. How can I fix this?...

Hi: Well, I just bit the bullet and bought hosting at ComputingHost. But I need help setting this
up. 1. Where do I pont my name to? I will go the site that I registered my domain at, but what do
I point it to? 2. How do I access Cpanel on ComputingHost? 3. Can Opaque (or somebody else at
Computing Host transfer all my files from Histology World on Trap 17 to the computer at Computing
Host? Or do I need to re-upload them all? Thanks for your help. Sunkist...

ok, I was thinking, what if we had a signature system that linked to a page (like
'signature.php') on our trap17 website or something. This way, we can include javascript,
because I have a sig rotator on mine: Http://www.psychdesigns.net/signature.php I think that
this would be great, or mabie just let us have php in our signatures, so we can go CODE
<?php include "www.website.com/signature.php" ?> so we can update a signature
for every forum site in a few lines of code. Tell me what you think......

This is probably going to end up in the SPAM　box buttt... IT's BEEN　a year TODAY
that I've been a member at trap and it's been great and most of all FUN! The hosting
throughout the year has been cool and this free hosting company has been built to last /smile.gif'
border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /> So if some of you 'think' that
it's all a scam and doesn't last forever..pftt whatever YOU　can speak to my HAND.
Thanks for the great hosting trap and I hope to stay hosted here for as long as fo...

Okay, I've had my site here for a few months, and the hosting is brilliant and everything. But
my dad bought his own servers, and says it would be best if I switch to them and he'll host my
site there. The switch won't be happening for a few weeks yet, so I don't want my account
terminated immediately. But once I have moved everything, how do I go about having my account here
closed? Do I just say, "I'm done, you can close my account now" to one of the Admins? I'd
just like to know so things are all smooth, quick and simple for my site move. /sm...
