At first glance, I thought it was too good to be true to pay $399 for an entire year -- that would've been too fishy. I then took a look at their website, and realized the truth. speX714, I hope you realize that the price is actually $399/month when you prepay yearly, meaning the prepaid anual fee will be $4788/year and divided by 12 will equal out to $399.00/month.
That seems like a pretty decent discount from the regular price of $475/month and $475 setup option. Just wanted to point that out before other people misinterpret how you posted this information and begin flaming.

Well, either way, if someone is offering a server for $399.00 for the entire year, you'd best avoid them as you'll most likely end up regretting your decision.

odd amount of bandwidth, but good server (a bit pricy for the specs) but i suppose all that extra harddrive space is needed.

weird how the backup drive is over twice the capacity of the main drive, don't see this often. I would stay away from that host.

Most backups are twice the size of what they backup...
Sometimes even 3 times bigger
Edit: Forgot to say that you might wanna' read about CPU's too (above poster). All of your post is basically totally uninformative, thanks!It's Scott!
