I don't know really anything about Addon domains or parked domains, but im assuming that with the subdomain, once I get enough myCENTS
to buy a domain hopefully in a week or two, ill be able to purchase the domain and change the hosting package over from the subdomain to
the bought domain correct? Or would I need to buy a package with more addon domains or something?

[-Sky-]

Wow OpaQue and Buffalo...you both have been working hard! Nice work.

One problem about my myCENTs....I did have 60, but it was decreased for some reason. How come that happened?

Your myCENTS only go up to 100, after 100 they are automatically deposited into your xisto billing account.
If you went and checked into your xisto account (click on the mycents link next to any post) and you should
see a few dollars in your account already.

Question: Do all the members who are already hosted need to "buy" a package at Xisto?

[daftpunk]

Thanks OpaQue This guide helps and the pictures really help, previously i didnt know how to use my trap17 domain name but now i do thanks alot!

Yes, and when you are signing up for it you need to give them your cpanel username and password so that they can update your current package.

According to the other forums they are going to wipe every account here that hasn't swapped over to the new system, but there is no date or anything stated as of right now.

Maybe an admin can shed some light on that?

I'm going to assume it will be *after* everything is verified to be working correctly, and everything is stable.

[daftpunk]

I just bought the Logic plan package with my subdomain i hope it solves my bandwidth problem.
all came to a cost of 3$ something per month pretty cheap

To answer your questions, don't take this in the wrong way but paying customers get the slight edge on support because they are paying with real money for not just the hosting but for problems that may come of it. Of course, with this new system in place odds are the staff are also aware to look out for tickets that deal with this as well and so you get the same support, but depending on the priority of support tickets and the in order them come in, don't expect it to fix in 5 minutes. Now saying support is slow but xisto is working on a small support crew that have to cover quite a lot of hosting accounts.

Yes you will be able to replace your subdomain with a top level domain, but if you plan to do that make sure you give people ample time to know about the new domain and what not though.

If your referring to the current hosted members I am still not to sure about it since I haven't done my transfer, I have to do that tonight then I guess. As for new members who get hosted they will go directly to the new hosting system instead of version 2.

Well I haven't heard to much about how they plan to transfer current hosted members to the new system and so I think once the major programming is completely for mycents that will be the next thing OpaQue will tackle. Of course, if it was already mentioned I must have missed that post somewhere.

We don't get to host free domains anymore? I am confused..... Some please explain to me how this works..

Basically, we must post in the forum maintain our myCENTS value. Every time your CENTS gets deposited to your Xisto Account you when you get lots of dollars in your account, you can begin to purchase a Domain, hosting package etc etc. Just make sure you keep your myCENTS with money.

Last time I had my CENTS deposited I had 60.xx cents. Hopefully this time I can reach 100 and get it deposited to my account, but will it only deposit $1 and reset the rest? I hope I get my 100 or 90 cents deposited and not just a little cents.

Another question: Is the Credit System V3 the myCENTS system connected to Xisto accounts? I'm not sure if it is or not. We still have the Credit System 2.0 version. I'm guessing that'll be removed too...?

Ok, whenever I get to 100 CENTS, I get deposited a $1.
Just one question: About how many posts can get you $1.00 . I am posting and I am not getting any CENTS. I think there is lag or something. Anyway, I was wondering just how many NORMAL (posts that are not too long but not too short) posts gets you 100 CENTS / $1?

We no longer use the credit version 2 now we use version 3 which now every post gains you myCent once the myCent reaches 100 or more it subtracts 100 from it and adds a dollar to your xistosupport money account. Once you have enough money in your xistosupport account you can buy a domain and hosting. So basically you post, you get credits which xistosupport counts as money, you use those credits to buy stuff.

Every 4-5 it checks to see if any of the myCents are over 100 if they are it adds a dollar to there xixto account. The credit system 2 with be moved sooner or later. They want to give us time to move are accounts over and all the bugs may not be fixed yet.

You don't get your myCents right away. It takes it a little while before it gives you the credits. I am guess it takes about 10-15 good posts to get to 100 myCents. Now of course it could take less if you are posting reall good, long post and it could take a lot more if you post one liners and such.

No you can still purchase a top level domain but you won't need to save 250 hosting credits but instead you would have to earn 1000 myCent's or $10 in order to purchase a domain when you either configure your hosting package or seperately through the billing site.

Yes that is how the new system works out and as for your actual earnings but It won't reset to zero, say for an example that you have 199.00 myCents, well that 100 is going to be deposited to myEarnings while the 99 cents will stay with your myCent's. As for your second question yes the v3 system is connected with xisto since it is using actual prices, though a with a small discount for trap17 and astahost members. As for 2.0 that will eventually disappear once the new system is complete and most everyone has transferred his or her accounts over to the new system.

No one knows but my best guess that if a member does some good posting that he or she can earn a $1 in ten posts or less, of course tutorials will earn you more in one post. So it is just the matter of posting long quality posts in order to earn a lot of myCent's and so if your good in that area you can bring down to at least 5 posts that could earn you a $1 or more.

If you have not registered with Billing & Support take this time to register to begin your Free Web Hosting, No Ads account activation. This step is crucial to your hosting account. Do not skip this step.

I can't seem to register to Billing & Support. Every time I submit the form, it tells me the Verification Code I entered is wrong, but I entered it exactly right. I've tried it four times and the last three times I made sure I typed it exactly right. I don't have JavaScript disabled, either, so I don't know what the problem is. Can someone help me?

Edit: Nevermind, I figured out the problem. An extension I have in Firefox 2 was blocking cookies from XistoSupport, which prevented it from correctly checking the Security Code. I added XistoSupport to the Whitelist and now everything works fine. This would be good to note for any other users who may be having problems...

[Spyda]

This is awesome news Opaque.

Thank you so much

[brca]

Regards to all. I am new to this forum.

I think that the idea about the possibility of purchasing the hosting or domain only with the activity in this forum is awesome.
I hope that you will continue in the future with quality work.

I'll try to be very active;)

[midnightvamp]

Thanks for updating these instructions... now I'm going to have a much easier time when I do start to switch over my site. I'm much less confused now than I was before, which is a good thing

[bittr]

Hey! I have a small question.

First of all, I like this new system. It is a good move, Opaque, and I think you'll get a lot of good content and members this way.

About my thing.
I've been a member on trap for about 4 months, I got enough CENTs and I got a monthly hosting account from the Xisto Support billing page.

Now, since I have 'payed' for one month in advance, should I worry about my credits here in the forum? (I'm talking about the V2 credits)
Is my site going to get suspended if the credits here run out?

I know the feeling of changing from one system to another--it never goes right.

You do not have to worry about your hosting credits running out. The forum skin was not updated (taking hosting credit script off line so that forum does not show your hosting credit numbers) and forum's mod never taken off-line.

Rest assure that myCENT is another module integrated with the forum and your billing account. Therefore, it has nothing to do with hosting credits you see.

So you can let it go down (negative value) but you still have to earn enough myCENT to be deposited as Account Credit Balance if you are on a monthly payment plan. The moment you do not pay the monthly invoice your hosting account will be suspended.

[Jezstarr]

Just one question, it says that the trap17.com and astahost.com is only for existing members only not applicable for new members, what does this actually mean? Does this mean that members already hosted can use these or what?

I think this means you can not pick sitename@astahost.com or sitename@trap17.com as a subdomain name unless you already have one that has it and the only people that have that as their name is existing members.

[bittr]

I have another question.

I have for this month a monthly subscription for my small website, http://sing-along.trap17.com
It's the site I had previously in Credit System V2, and now I 'payed' already for November.

However, I decided that after this month I will drop this subdomain and go for something.creativeriots.com

Now the question. Can I do this, using the account I have now? Can I just let the previous trap17.com subdomain & hosting expire and get another subdomain afterwards in creativeriots.com?

And yes, I know I'll lose all my files, it's not a problem, I've already backed-them-up.

You might be able to ask the Server Admins to transfer the files and account information (complete) to the new Domain.
