Kikko.com - Any experience with this host? - GoFuckYourself.com

This weekend I found a host named kikko.com. Very low prices. This morning they confirmed that Adult sites are allowed. Anyone have any experience with this host? I found some threads on this host from June 2000, but nothing since then.

And before this becomes a spam thread, I would greatly appreciate comments on kikko only, and not an opportunity to pitch your host.

Formerly of Newport OR, now a Orca in Iceland learning to hunt for fish again?

It's too good to be true. They are no good. I attempted to try an account with them. The answered my email with a hotmail account first of all. Bad news! I thought I'd still give them a shot and do some TGPing on their server. They guy said they charge overage every 5mb. I asked megabyte? He said yes. He didn't know what a gb was. I never gave them credit card info thank god! Their site looks cool, they must have outsourced for it.

They had heavy foreign accents, then when I called after 5pm there somebody picked up the phone and said "Hello?" as if he lived there. I said "Is this kikko?" He said "Yeah, but we're closed" I said "What? I thought you had 24hr tech support? Why isn't my account active?" Then he had me hold on but didn't put me on hold. He then proceeded to say "This fucker called about a fucking dedicated earlier. I told him we're closed..." So I hung up. They never called me back.

I looked for about 8 hours on the internet for information about them. I found message boards for web host owners and saw nothing but bad news about them. Hope that helps you.
