it depends,
because you get other understandings all over the world. because you have other languages.
in dutch "trap" means "stairs"
so you get something like 17 stairs

but in english you can understand trap as a snare
so there are 17 snares

little strange name if you ask me.
if you want more people to go here to look for hosting.
you gotta change it to www.hosting-for-posting.com
or something like that

"trap17" in itself has little meaning to me. Only when you dissect the two components will it make an impression.

It sounds devious because of the word "trap," which of course means to catch somebody or something unawares. "17" might connote something minor, since it's not 18

What exactly does it mean?

Pretty indifferent to most of the people here but I don't know...

Trap :

A device in which something (usually an animal) can be caught and penned
Drain consisting of a U-shaped section of drainpipe that holds liquid and so prevents a return flow of sewer gas
Something (often something deceptively attractive) that catches you unawares
A device to hurl clay pigeons into the air for trapshooters
The act of concealing yourself and lying in wait to attack by surprise
Informal terms for the mouth
A light two-wheeled carriage
A hazard on a golf course
Place in a confining or embarrassing position
Catch in or as if in a trap
Hold or catch as if in a trap
To hold fast or prevent from moving

It's a cool and creative name for web hosting. It's much more different than other names of free webhosts that have "free" in their name.

Personally what i the name should be is "THE WORLDS BEST FREE HOSTING" But we should think of a shorter name

Let's see... 17 is prime, and if we take the number of letters in "trap" (4) away from 17, we have 13, which is also prime. Now if we multiply....

No, really though. It works well for me both as a community name and as a hosting domain. Especially for hosting, I'd much rather be something.trap17.com than something.freeintarwebhostingfordummies.com
And as has been mentioned many times, it is certainly short and sweet.

   Does anyone think it would be a good idea to make a Wikipedia article about Trap17, in case anyone

3. Trap17 Home Page Banner Mistake

   (3)

   I just now noticed that the flash banner at the top of trap17's home page has an error. It says
   "THE BEST YOU CAN FIND ON WEB". Obviously it should read "on THE web" since "the web" is the phrase
   always used to refer to the internet, and not just web. This is about as major and noticeable a
   mistake as the site could make, so I think this especially needs to get fixed.....

   so I decided to do a thorough edit/commentary on the rules . I decided the easiest way to show
   the location of errors as well as their locations would be to just quote the entire rules text. I
   have highlighted major problems in red and minor problems in orange so that only the most clear-cut
   problems can be easily distinguished. Since I did a full edit of the rules, some of the less-....

   Trap17 Radio My suggestion today is maybe a Trap17 radio. Not like a radio
   where someone talks, just like there are multiple DJ's and they play music. Then there could be
   a request box where members can put requests for the DJ's to play. We could embed a realplayer
   into the page so you know what song is playing, etc. If the DJ is not taking requests, they can put
   a message above the request box saying "The DJ is currently NOT taking requests." The DJ must supply
   their own music, equipment, and have a high speed internet connection with fire....

8. Set Up A Hosting Service With Asp Based On Trap17 Protocols

   (7)

   Well after receiving a free book for ASP.net 2.0 and of course looking around for some decent ASP
   hosting (so far found 350MB site), I was thinking that why don't you set up a windows server
   hosting based on the trap17 protocols and so those that are interested in ASP programming they can
   get the same great hosting from xisto. Yeah you can pretty much guess I need some ASP hosting to
   try this book out (this group wants me to review it) and too cheap to pay for hosting /tongue.gif"

10. Trap17 Forum Should Be Simple Machine And Remove Those Ads

    (11)

    I think Trap17 's forum should be changed to Simple Machines instead of Invision Power Board ,
    Simple Machines is easier to use , simple and quick as well as the quality is better than Invision
    Power Board too but that is just what I think. And more , Trap17 should remove those annoying
    Advertisements on the forum , why Trap17 provided Free Web Host without Ads and Trap17 's Forum
    don't ? Note that those are just what I think so if you don't agree , please not mad

    I know that my suggestions are purely unnecessary, they may improve the image of the Hosting account
    Center (all of the pages under http://www.trap17.com/process) . I thought that a few changes could
    be made to the design and function of those pages: -Provide a login common to all pages - instead of
    typing your username and password at each task page, have users log in upon the access of
    http://www.trap17.com/process/ , and present a task list. -Beautify the pages a wee bit - add a bit

14. Trap17 Detailed Documentation

    A printable/pdf format user guide (3)

    It would be very much helpful if we can make a detailed documentation/user guide for Trap17. That
    should include: 1-Logging in, posting, getting approval for hosting. 2-Setting up account 3-How to
    use the cpanel etc. In my opinion, that should be an all-in-one document which can give answer to
    all of our queries. And that would contain screen-shots wherever possible.(I have phpbb used guide
    in my mind while writing this). I believe everybody will be interested to keep a copy printed for

15. Trap17 Should Offer Free Domain Name

    Why not starting free domain service? (22)

    Now days, free hosting can be seen on all places. But free domains are given only by a few sites or
    with big hosting plans. Also "Free Domain" catches a popular search keyword. You can provide free
    domains for 80 or 120 credits. Iam sure that this will increase trap17 popularity as well as its
    community. Please post replay about my sugession because i like to take a domain.....

16. Donations To Trap17

    For members who want to say thank you (3)

    (I dont know if anyone else had an idea like this... if it did please excuse me) I have read
    Trap17's Story in the General Section and since I'm a member for over an year and a half and
    I'm very pleased with Trap17 I want to donate a small amount of money (what I can spare). As a
    gift not as any fee or something... It is a way to express my gratitude to Trap17 and it's
    admin. Trap17 has over 19.000 members now and if only 10% of them would donate 10 cents it would
    still be over 190$. It would be great if the admin could open some donation accounts a....

    looking for: FREE WEBHOSTING! Forums or a community chat the plans and free packages no
    advertisments Basic stuff that everybody wants here, when I look at the main page now it seems
    that you guys are promoting Computing Host in advertisments, more then the service that we offer

    desk. We have so many users here, all of us together probably have knoweledge about pretty much
    every thing. So why not open a "Help Desk"? At the "Help Desk" Users could submit a question about
    any thing (Probably via email) then us here could sort of "Claim" the message if we know the answer.

    good free ones out there, and I think it would be amazing. Think of how we would think of other
    members? Joining would be optional. It would iclude the top 10 and baners for them in a nice little
    table, and the rest can upload or provide an icon to the left if they are in the top 50, and the
    rest are shown on a seperate page. What do you guys think of these ideas?....

    I thought it would be a good idea to introduce a competition for the Trap17 community members. The
    competition could have many categories like "Best design for a website", "Best content for a
    website", "Best overall website", etc. (of course all of them would be Trap17 hosted). Hosted
    members could submit their websites for the catagories and probably be selected by member vote or by
    selecting certain members as judges to decide the winners. A reward of some sort would make things
    even more interesting (could be like increase in the number of hosting days every month, et....

    sure there are many pet lovers out there (me being one) who would want a section like this. Some of
    you might know this site: fishforums.net. It's a very active and popular fish/aquatics site for
    info and many things. Why can't we have it here? In this fish section could also be an aquatic
    plant section too. One of the popular aquarium plant website is aquaticplantcentral.com. This too
