!!WHY GET CHEATED ELSEWHERE WHEN YOU CAN BE CHEATED RIGHT HERE!!

:: REMEMBER ::
You are posting here to keep your hosting account alive. Posting was never ment for More BW or SPace. Upgrades are only a way to help you out. I ask posts just to make sure that you are intrested in your hosting account and to see that you are a part of this community. Remaining *ACTIVE* is necessary to keep your Hosting account from getting deleted as well as keeping this site up! Unknowingly.. You are contributing to this site..

About Trap17

I don't mind losing members who require more than 3GB BW but are ready to post 100 posts in a single day... This is because, Losing one such member clears the way for me to give 10 more free hosting accounts.

Sincerly, I get about 5000 page views and THOSANDS of hits per day and I havent used more than 100 mb per day! That again comes to 3 GB. So if your account really requires that much BW, I suggest that you go for PAID hosting ( not with Trap17 ). You can easily make enough money to support your site with that traffic. Trap17 is now only a DEDICATED FREE WEB HOSTING site. We don't provide Paid hosting accounts any more. Cause, the main objective of this site was to help people get FREE Hosting. Even though our plans were the cheapest considering all the BEST Unlimited Features, We have rejected many members who had approced for Paid Hosting Except one to whom I had already accepted.

BTW, Let me make one thing clear. Go for any of the competitors FREE Web hosting company and get your account of about 20 GB BW. Upload some ZIPs, Songs and put it for Download and give the link to everyone! Within a day your account would be deleted!

Dear Members, BW is one of the most expensive factors in Web hosting. Don't get carried away by those UNMETERED BW slogans.. All these Companies assume that you don't use more than 750 mb Approx. Every 1 GB extra BW is sold @ $1 - 2... depends on the hosting company. So, it is practically impossible to get FREE BW.. Because BW itself is not FREE and is charged at each and every place on earth. Because the Host himself is purchasing BW to provide you. All of them OVERSELL.

What is Overselling ?
Overselling is a process in which A Hosting Provider may provide more than the allocated amount the host himself has. Suppose, I have altogether 100 GB BW. I can provide 100 accounts with 5 GB BW assuming , No one is going to use over 1 GB. This can be a great risk if most of the users actually use it. Trap17.com Does NOT OVERSELL! Hence, We provide only that much as we successfully can. So you don't have to worry about us getting shutdown. You Website is SAFE at our Servers.

Respect the Site which is helping you so much .. and care for it. It is your responsiblity to help us in return of the Best Free Hosting Service. Spread out name and Link back to us.. Enlist us in Free Webhosting lists ..

No other Company Provides Hosting Services and Advanced Technologies like
JSP , TOMCAT, TCL, Macromedia Shockwave etc.. Yes! We do support all these, if you never knew them. All these are supported since our Last UPGRADE!

Other Hosting providers charge a lot for these services while here at Trap17.com, you get it absolutely FREE!

As for some of you may think about the revenue made by us! Well, Frankly, We have not made any single penny out of this site until now (30 July 2004). Only one Paid hosting account has been approved. And Now we have closed Paid Hosting. Soon, as we start recieving Funds from Advertising! We will Upgrade the accounts... Cause that is Trap17's Ambition.

So I request all members to support Trap17.com and our Free Hosting Facilites..

:: Your Account is Safe with us, You can Trust US! ::

:: LIST OF PREVIOUS UPGRADES ::

1st Upgrade : More secure and Fast Servers

So, Don't Get Cheated Elsewhere... If you want, I can cheat you Right HERE!!
Just put up a mass POLL and I will start overselling giving out UNMETERED SPACE and BANDWIDTH!

Impressive story I have 1 question:
Is it possible to buy more bandwith at Trap17?
I mean, my site is about a game maker and I want to host the program, games, recourses and tutoials. If I have mor emembers that all dowenload that stuff I think I might have my bandwith to 0

Reply

I will think about that later.... However, I am not intrested in making money through selling..

What about hosting company's offering 300 GB of bandwith(Like Dhost)? Do they buy all that or do they oversell giganticly?

Reply

Paid hosting companies usually don't oversell but its usually those free hosts who oversell. I have seen this cases before.

But on the main page, it says:

50 - 250 mb space [ 50 mb provided initially ]
500 - 20,000 mb Bandwidth

I see that the maximum we can get here is 150 MB and 2 GB bandwidth? You said you don't mind losing people who needed 3 GB BW and above?

Can admin please clarify this?

with all this talk about this stuff, I was wondering.... Trap17 users do get their own cgi-bin right?!?!?

Reply

On the index page of Trap17, the very first page you are likely to see when you visit this site, it clearly states that amongst many others, one of the features is PERL version 5.8.1. This would strongly suggest that a CGI-BIN is included.

I need to know what Bandwith is...

Uh ok, that's a kind of stupid question, and will probobly be considered SPAM.

Anyway, 'bandwidth' is the amount of data drawn from the network/server/etc. Eg. if someone downloads a five megabyte file from a server, then they have used five megabytes of bandwidth.

Lol you know i was kinda waiting to see who was gonna pop that question "what is bandwith" and finally someone did lol. i Dont care much about bandwith coz all the stuff that needs to be downloaded from my site i redirect them to another server it makes it easier that way .
