Introducing Trap17.net! Ad supported Free Web Hosting!
Xisto Corporation is proud to announce new member in its Web Hosting family, Trap17.net. Trap17.com and Trap17.net will be diffrent from each other.
Ever since we started Trap17.com, We were observing our traffic and saw Quite a large population of people returning back from main page which clearly expressed they were looking out for hosting without spending time as well as money. Well, Trap17.net will be launched targetted especially for this group.
Every account will have a banner Ad on top and text link at the bottom. And to save server resources and handle any unexpected no. of signups, Email will be disabled. Owing to the fact that, only a small no. of people actually use emails like username@site.trap17.com. And with pop services being provided free like major companies like Gmail, Its no use keeping it running and wasting precious space and bandwidth.
On the other hand, Trap17.com will continue providing its ADVANCED free web hosting service without banners for its community members.
I think this is a step in the right direction for Xisto. As you pointed out, the new service is perfect for those who want a good free webhost without spending time nor money. Also, by releaving of the e-mails, you allow for more resources. I am a little confused on the Disk Space though. If Xisto are offering 333Mb of space, eventually that will add up and consume the present HD, making it slower, less responsive and may even cause errors, if someone uploads a virus (accidental) to their account. Or am I wrong, and the space you provide is virtual?
Anyway, I believe this will go down very well and you may find yourself in the top-spot of all the respectable free-web-host directories/guides.
Is the banner just a GoogleAD, or is it advertising trap17.net? I am pondering to sign-up, as I don't know if I can have multiple accounts here at astahost.
You're fine there, Martijin; I'm just cleaning up your grammer a bit. If you're from the U.S., I really don't want to see unnecessary grammer mistakes; if you're of a foreign country, just attempt to polish your grammer. I'll leave it at that for now...
Hey OpaQue, if I were you, I'd use a different name besides trap17. People like variety, using a different name would look better. That's just my opinion though.
I have a question about trap17.net hosting. Do you have to post in forums for your account? Just wanted to know (I'm not planning to leave Astahost, don't get me wrong).
Oh yeah, and another thing. I think it would be nicer if you made an option for paid hosting in Astahost. I mean just in case there are times when you don't have the time to post (ex. school, college, etc.) and if the 150 Megs don't suit you. Sure, we do have a ComputingHost for that but some people just like Astahost, and the added option of posting. Just my thoughts though.
Could you give us a example site so I can see how the banner looks? .
Yeah, can you give us an example site? Maybe you can just put Trap17's home page on a sample trap17.net account, so you wouldn't have to do much work on creating a page. Unless creating an account takes more work... Then I'll just wait until someone signs up and see what their pages look like.

I couldn't delete my account either, I just got a message saying "Unknown Command".
Well, the last couple of days have seen some pretty odd behavior from the server. Files won't
upload, files won't edit, and then of course there have been a few server outages all together.
Well, I have the reason behind the issues. In an effort to better enable himself to offer all of
the services that he provides, OpaQue's company has aquired another hosting companies assets.
That is Computing Host has bought shothost.com which means that he basically took over the hosting
accounts for shothost.com. As a result, all of the shothost customer hosting acc....
How long will it take to get my application for free hosting approved? We've been getting that
question a lot recently and the answer is, "I DON'T KNOW!" I'm sorry to say it but it
is the truth. I have absolutely no idea when you might expect to get hosting currently. Like most
people that show up here, I was looking for a free hosting service where I could develope my website
and get it going before I had to spend any money. The good old no risk system to starting a
business. Turned out that I spend a lot more time on the forum than I do working on....
Hi everybody, This is to inform you that we will not be approving new hosting accounts till all
the server issues can be fixed. Recently we've received hundreds of complaints about not being
able to access cPanel/FTP/hosting account etc. as also about broken account creation process
resulting in invalid accounts. The New Account Request forum has been shutdown temporarily.
Meanwhile - those who'd already made enough posts for the starter account and applied for
hosting - are encouraged to keep posting, so that by the time we start approving again you can d....

the banners submitted and the banners that are still in the running will not be dele....
