Good choice. Also, the fact that they have a broken image on their main page would drive me away...

Thanks for the advice I think I will stay away

Well, I haven't heard any specific comments about them - but they do offer unlimited bandwidth, so I would most definitely stay away. Why? Because unlimited bandwidth is nothing more than a deceptive marketing tactic. Bandwidth costs the HOST money, so I guarantee you if your account is costing the host more than the price of the account, your price is either going to increase, or the account will get terminated.

For example, from their terms of service:

Quote:
7k. The Customer will be charged for excessive bandwidth usage (above the relevant allowance of the chosen service package). It is the Customer responsibility to monitor the amount of bandwidth of his/her account, on a daily basis. Kangaroo has no obligation to warn the Customer regarding the excessive bandwidth usage.

That's funny... how could you use excess bandwidth, when it's unlimited? In any event, for that reason alone I would avoid ANY company that offers unlimited disk space or bandwidth, just because I would never want to do business with a company that was willing to lie to me.
