I remember when I told my boyfriend about this site, He said "you actually want to have a hosting site that has the name TRAP in it?" I didn't think anything of the name but my boyfriend immediate had some negative vibes from it. Of course now he thinks it's great, but I think the name sounds like you're falling into a trap or something:P

Trap 17 to me is a 17 year old brain trapped in a adults body... You see what I mean ?

I don't really like things with numbers though and I think the name is kind of....well not all that good..

But it is easy to remember though.

i dont see how trap17 fits. i was wondering about it when i first signed up because it seems to have nothing to do with hosting or anything like that. so im confused about it. but the good thing is it is easy to remember, unlike some other sites.

I too was quite puzzled about what trap17 meant and how
it related to webhosting. Also was wondering whether trap1
to trap16 existed like maybe each one represented one server.

But since I registered and saw how it matched my membership
number, I was quite happy with it, also coz its quite short.

Or maybe it means " The Real Amazing Place 17"

Sounds catchy to me. Its kinda like the name of a gang, who would tag the walls with "trap 17". I like it

I don't know about the rest of the name but the number 17 is odd somehow. The first thing I noticed about your name the first time I saw it was the number 17 for some reason... but the name sounds original. One more thing why did you name it TRAP17? What's with the trap? Is the name for a particular reason like it used to be your girlfriend's name (who would name their girl trap?) or just becuase trap sounds cool?

In my languages "trap" means... like a cellar or vault, well, it is not so nice name for my taste. But, I would like to know, what is really means, if someone knows, it would be better to tell us. The better than trap would be "part" , I think... maybe...

i don't think the name should be analytical. I don't even think it has any deep meaning to it at all. its a unique name from all the rest. I think thats what makes it better.

Hmm trap in my area it means key. But what ever it means I think Trap is pretty good name. Trap Trap Trap
I don't know what is about 17? hmm by the way trap17 is the best hosting provider i ever know.

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.
