Kikko.com?

[Cruz]

Well, I just signed up for an account over at kikko.com {also kikkonetworks.com} and was wondering if anyone else has used these people before. So far it has been a nightmare. Not only can I NOT get mySQL to run, but it looks as if PHP isnt even installed! :( This is making me angry. I chose the advanced plan (300 GB transfer a month for only $80) so it seems as if they should be on top of this more.:confused: I hope this gets resolved quickly, and hope you will share your opinions of their service!
Thx:)

300 Gb/month? $80? that, in and of itself would have made me suspicious.

hmmm
are you telling me this is true:
----------------------------------------
using your own Domain name
Disk Space: 400 MB

Actually it is true, but the plan i have is different:
eAdvanced
A high end package that gives a lot of freedom to your site. Very inexpensive compared to other hosting providers. The space and e-mail accounts in this package puts it in high demands
Specs:
Disk Space: 1000 MB
Data Transfer : 300 GB / month
Free WebMail, Unlimited POP, Unlimited Aliases
NT/Windows 2000 or UNIX / LINUX (control panel)
SMTP, FTP, Telnet, SSL, Cold Fusion, ASP, ChiliSoft ASP, JSP, Servlets, Frontpage extensions, CGI/Perl, PHP, MS SQL Server or MySQL, custom dll, custom components, shopping cart, 1 IP Address included.

Fortunately everything is fixed now. We had to move to a different server, as the one they put us on didn't have any of that installed:confused: SOOOO, now we are fine :) Speed is fantastic too!
It is NOT 20 a month, it is 80, which is the absolute best you will be able to find for 300 GB amonth!

yep
eBasic plan doesnt have Mysql support :(

There is no way they're going to allow 300 GBs of transfer. They might as well promise unlimited bandwidth. Something tells me that if you hit a certain "magic number" they're going to boot you.

Think about it: Most hosts charge between $4 and $10 per gigabyte after X GBs that are included. For $80 you could probably expect between 20 and 100 GB included. So we're talking at a minimum 200 GB above included. 200 x $5 = $1000. I don't think that they can let you use 300GB and make money on the deal, which is what web hosts (like any other business) are there to do.

I was thinking that it must be a typo and they meant 30gb. That would be more reasonable for a reputable host at that price.

If it wasn't a typo, and you start using that much bandwidth, I would almost be willing to bet that they will find some reason (likely overloading the server) to boot you.

[nuno]

Martin, it cant be typo
eBasic plan has a 50GB monthly transfer
nah, i dont believe it
i'll go with VO by the end of the month :D

can anoyne suggest me a VO plan?
maybe i'll order a Venture 3 shared server
will that be enough to support Vbulletin??

[Cruz]

hehe..ok, i will post the GB we have used once we get booted {although the site only uses about 80 GB a month}
hehe :)
If we DONT get booted, then I have just found the best host on the web :D:D
