Dedicated Server from $64, without contract

[earthboy]

I am trying to decide which server to buy, this site shows dedicated servers from $64 without contract, there's got to be a gimmick, any horror stories? please share with me.

I don't know about horror stories, they seem to be a reputable company, and if you dig deep enough you'll find negative reviews about pretty much anyone.

my issue is with the entry level hardware offerings, they are pretty skimpy, so I understand why the price is so low. Since the current buzzword in hosting is "cloud hosting", many people don't look for supporting hardware infrastructure as a selling point, because they think that the "cloud" is the end all and be all.

it's not.

There's nothing wrong with that, except that the hardware is dated and these processors are by no means server-grade stuff. The price therefore is adequate and mid-range.

Those prices are about average for what is available in the industry, I dont think that you have to worry about any gimmick with those guys - they have been around for awhile.
If you haven't already purchased you might want to also check out getting a VPS (if it will fit your requirements) as an alternative, you could probably get a VPS on newer hardware for less price.
