X3r0X 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 Hey i was wondering (lthough im sure i already know the answer) does Trap 17 give our domain names if the user agrees to have ads on their site and gets adequate hits? Thats just an impresion i have been getting from members with a domain name. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 No. If you want to register and pay for a domain name yourself, then it can be used with Trap 17 hosting - but it is not provided for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zenchi 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 No. If you want to register and pay for a domain name yourself, then it can be used with Trap 17 hosting - but it is not provided for you.You don't pay for them all..Although, if you want an official (.com, .net, .etc ) Domain, you do have to pay. There are some sites which allow you to register with something like,http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/or something of the sort.It was on the forum post which you apply for hosting or something I saw one of these.

Spectre 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 They are just URL redirection services, not top-level domains. Some, such as UNI.CC, do provide full DNS features, but they still aren't TLD's. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some, such as UNI.CC, do provide full DNS features, but they still aren't TLD's.Exactly what I meant. Of course, you could always just go with the .trap17.com subdomain too, if you don't care to pay for a domain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre 0 Report post Posted August 23, 2004 Domains go for around US$8 a year now, so they aren't really that hard to get. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Domains go for around US$8 a year now, so they aren't really that hard to get.It isnt everybody that have that kinda money and besides, some people and locations across teh world dont have that much access to credit card facilities and that makes it impossible for them to be able to register for a TLD. which is kinda bad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zenchi 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2004 Well, I'v ealso seen very cheap domains for 2$ a year. Although, if you can use cheques (sp?) in your country, you generally can use an online checking facility. (I know because even though I live in the USA, I've had to do that a few times.)

odomike 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2004 What if there arent such services in your country as web hosting companies....what do you do then? or in a situation whereby you aint got the money to pay for the hosting (even if you see the hosting company to pay to)...what are you gonna do?

Spectre 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2004 Then I'm afraid that's just bad luck. Sorry.You could try trading a domain name for something - for example, a Gmail account, which are pretty popular at the moment.Also, didn't you say you're from Nigeria, odomike? I'm pretty sure that you would be able to find a couple of domain registrars over there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea there are actually a couple or more domain name registrars here in Nigeria, but remember that i said**WHAT IF THE PERSON DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR THE REGISTRATION?** Thats where my major problem lies spectre Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre 0 Report post Posted August 24, 2004 Well, I'm afraid I can't help you any further. I can't go buying domains for everyone. All I can suggest is, as I said before, get a free domain such as those provided by UNI.CC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
