Trap17 Hosting Question - A few hosting questions...

Uh...hey! I was wondering about the hosting thing... I have a few questions:
1. How long does your trap17 registered domain last? (the free domain thing)
2. Do you have to pay a certain amount of points every month for your hosting account? Or do you just have to be active?
3. Does it come with the Fantastico that has IPB? And if it does, is there a limit on how many members you can have, how many posts can you have, and does it come with the newest version?
Thanks.
edit: Oh no...I posted on the wrong forum! Can someone please move this???
1. How long does your trap17 registered domain last? (the free domain thing)
1 year, thereafter renew for annually with appropriate hosting credits...

2. Do you have to pay a certain amount of points every month for your hosting account? Or do you just have to be active?
One credit per day, calculated dynamically each day. You can earn as many credits as you want and be inactive until your credits run out and resume posting, or post daily or weekly as your schedule permits. It is recommended to maintain a balance of 10 to 15 credits minimum to cover unavoidable absences.

Fantastico is included, but IPB is no longer included with Fantastico since IPB is now a paid product.
To add on a little bit about Invision Power Board, only the version 1.3 was free and I don't think it is available anymore. The newest versions must be paid for by purchasing a license by their main site. There is no maximum amount of users you are allowed to have on there as long as you don't go over your bandwidth, if you do then your account will be suspended until the next month of hosting. If this starts to occur I'd recommend moving up to cheap paid hosting at Computing Host. Also please take into account that any illegal versions of IPB will cause you to have your hosting account terminated immediately as it is illegal so I'd recommend installing a free forum like PHPBB or MyBB if you don't want to pay for IPB.
Monthly on your start date, I think. Or possibly the first of every month.
Hosting credits are calculated dynamically by the minute, but the Bandwidth is refreshed Monthly. If you run out of Bandwidth, your site shuts down. Or Apply for an upgrade to the second package. Bandwidth cannot be purchased for trap17 accounts, so if you need more, convert to computinghost is the answer.
Haslip is correctly BW renews at the beginning of the month and the best way to know that you will need a paid hosting account is when you blow through 10 GB of BW in a week. However, for that to happen you would be the 1/4 the size of say yahoo's or google's web pages to do that.
Just a small addition to to the Fantastico/IPB question, the only version that is available is 1.3 which is free depending on who you ask, but since that version of the forum is loaded with security holes it would unwise to continue using or supporting it. Of course You can get 1.3 if you go to sites like invisonfree or something like that, but I do believe it is still available to purchase at like $70 for a license, but that was a year ago haven't been paying attention to them lately.

OMG..This is really bad for me. Now I don't know how many bandwich i have used Then what for it is that Graph at cp panel if it isn't working? How I will know that my site going to crash if I don't know about my bandwich use? I thought that bandwich use is refresh automaticly when you just using it.
When you log into your cpanel look to the the left side of the screen and find this menu:
if you look down just a bit you will see your bandwidth usage it will display how much you have use compared to what your allowed. Like I said in my previous post you would have to have a lot of content and a lot of vistors to blow through bandwidth in the first few months of running a website, so I wouldn't worry to much this early on about using a lot of bandwidth. Of course some tips to lower bandwidth usage would be to use image and file hosts, make sure your code is clean and you have no large gaps of white space and stuff like that.
Or visit the cpanel link to the Aw-stats package which is updated approx every 24 hours. there is an option to update the stats at the top of the page, too.
hey friends help me out..... i wasn't active on trap17 for nearly two months ..... and i
don't know how much negative my credits went.... but now i am active again.... i thought my

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...
When I get my hosting here (again), will it be possible to host a shoutcast radio on the site? I was

I am not entirely sure if this the right place to post about this, but here goes anyway... For
those who find themselves slightly (or considerably more than slightly) clueless about where to get
started after getting a hosting account, here is an user guide that might potentially help you
out. I wrote it out of three hours, so forgive me if it's clumsy, but I'm hoping that a few
people here may find it useful. Feedback is greatly appreciated /smile.gif"

I'm just saying goodbye to Trap17's free hosting service. You guys are really great all the
times when I'm using your service. The servers was fast, disk space are decent, and no
restriction for PHP function, and the forum is so friendly. But after the incident with the cPanel
and the site, I decided to leave. All my forums data and blog was completely vanished. While I
cannot access my cPanel, FTP, and of course my site, I'm terminating my account, and rebuilding
my forum,site, and blog at another host. Thanks for being great. Of course this incident wil...

notice to the mods, please transfer this to a proper subforum if I placed it incorrectly. thanks. I
have always wondered what would happen to my hosting account once I start working. With that in
mind, I've planned on switching to paid hosting once I get my own salary. However, I realized
that paying for my hosting account won't be that easy. I inquired for a credit card in different
banks here in my country so I could purchase my own hosting or any other stuff I could only buy over
the internet. However, most of the applications require a minimum of 6 months ...

I've explored any places in this forum but I can find any topic talking about Hosting Rules,
what kind of sites are eligible to be hosted here. I just find forum rules about what to do and
don't do. I have one question.. Can I host non-english website here..? thanks.....
Just a few questions guys. 1. When/if i get my hosting, many sites dont last long. Can i trust this
service 100%? 2. I know it says no adds. Will it stay like this? 3. Can i upgrade my account at

tickets keep getting closed because I get no respone, and I see the same thing happening to other
people around too. I'm still in th emiddle of trying to sort out a problem I that I first
submitted the ticket to on September 16. On the first ticket, I got a response that OpaQue was going

Then what for it is that Graph at cp panel if it isn't working? How I will know that my site going to crash if I don't know about my bandwich use? I thought that bandwich use is refresh automaticly when you just using it.
