What do you feel about the name Trap17 .. What impression do you get about the site.

[wassie]

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?

trap in polish - heh there is no such word :-)

be careful, because the name can be interpretated as Crap17 :-)

anyway - why 17? traphost or something similar would make the name easier to remember.

and sorry for my english

greetz.

I think Harad is right the number might actually make your website harder to remember for some people. I suggest eliminating the number. If you do something like traphosting people will know right away what your website is about.

first the admin should install ipb 2.0
that's for sure :-)

anyway better name trap17, than [insert your other hosts :-)]
