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.

    I've been looking around Google and it's so hard to find a decent host that doesn't

    site with adverts. Trap17 is amazing. All you need is to register on this forum, get hosting
    credits and off you go. In no time you get a great offer. I need my credits now, but I just want to
