Their dedicated server prices seem really cheap.

$99 a month for a P4 1.4 / 30 GB HDD / 50 GB transfer - looks like a good deal!

Which would be faster though for hosting - a RackShack 1 Ghz PIII or this PIV 1.4 Ghz?

Strange that they mention the speed of the CD rom drive - well I guess if you needed a restore you do pay by the hour, but a strange selling feature non the less.

They also say "DS3 (45 Mbps.) connectivity to the Internet." - does this mean a single line with a single provider and thus a single point of failure?

a better deal if you ask me, and the company is more reputated too (do you say that like this?).
