Description
A lot of enticing promises on the features page. "100% free. Unlimited diskspace (storage). Store as many images and articles as you like, without ever running out of space. Unlimited bandwidth (transfer)." First edit on the wiki main page was June 2009, so may not be there in the long term.

For advanced hosting. "With our Advanced Hosting, you will receive full FTP and Cpanel access. This means you can change templates, install extensions, and instantly make whatever changes you wish to the look, feel and functionality of your wiki. You will have complete unrestricted control of your wiki. Wikis using our Advanced Hosting will be setup under a .net subdomain, eg. example.wikkii.net."

As of August 21, 2015, it is no longer accessible.
