| | I know Astahost and Trap 17 both use Xisto in terms of Hosting. However, are there any differences between the two site in terms of web service, do the free hosting programs have any differences among them. Also, I used to be a member of Trap17 as I once had an old site there. It seems to me that their community is larger than the one here at Astahost, or at least more active. Is Astahost a newer service or something? Also, if there are no differences present between these two very similar websites than why are they seperate websites, wouldn't it benefit o merge them into one, larger community. I'm not saying I have a problem with Astahost, or Trap 17 as I have loved them both, and they do provide the best alternative to payed hosting, I'm just wondering. Any answers? |

The Trap17 is more suited to the beginner Web/Computer user, Astahost is for the more technical user. The facilities are very similar, both run on the same server cluster, Plans are similar, feature sets are the same, Mods are nicer at the Trap17  . And as for merging the Forums, nah! Leave them apart. Two different sets of focus, clientèle, etc.

The hosting plans at Astahost provide more Bandwidth, if I am not mistaken. Also, the spamming tolerance is higher at Trap17 forums.

I don't see the VS side to Astahost and Trap17. I was waiting on the servers to get back up on Astahost, and I began an account with Trap17... I think it was to just see what it is about too, and if I need another site, I will have both Astahost and Trap17... but for now, I am very happy keeping only Astahost, and visting Trap17 forums... - skedad (AKA Trap17's rwhj07) -

I found astahost originally and eventually ended up learning about another site called trap17, I heard that those that could not keep their post count up would end up moved over to trap17 where the posting requirment for credits were more flexible to manage their hosting credits. I for a moment thought about moving over to trap17 but I dont find it that difficult to kep my post count up. I just casually post information and help other members out with my knowledge and wisdom from time to time and in the result rewarded with credits to keep my hosting up! So Astahost is where Ill stay, while trap17 should be those that are looking for a quick access to hosting credits.

AstaHost and Trap17 have the same hosting credit rules--that is if you contribute quality posts you earn the same amount of hosting credits for your contribution. AstaHost and Trap17 provide the same hosting plans--same capacity and bandwidth for standard (starter) and default. The only things different are the way each forum is moderated and categories available for discussions. The focus, as mentioned above, is geared towards two major groups. Not that one group is better than another but to appeal to different discussions to different people. Some of you find AstaHost to be organized, concise and right to the point. No beating around the bush. Where as Trap17 covers diverse discussions from web designing to dating.

As others have said, Astahost is a forum intended for proper discussion, mainly on technology and computer based subjects (though news, politics, and economics are frequently discussed here too), whereas trap17 is for more off-topic discussion, is more lenient on spamming rules, and covers many other subjects, such as music, and as buffalohelp mentioned, dating.

I was wondering... wouldn't it be cool to have a little space with a sort of directory where

just be forum or topic pinned on this or any other section of the site, or something like...
Why Is Astahost Loading Slow ?

Hey Computing host is great btw: I use it. Anyway, I was wondering, both of my computers have a

seems to slow down. Things take longer to load than usual. Is the server slow, is it something I
did, or what? This really only applies to the forum part of Astahost, everything else is fine....
