I have a few questions. If I happen to order a dedicated server ( the $59/m ) How will I be able to control it? Is it something similar to multicraft or is it something completely different?
And what are the server specs for the standard minecraft hosting, for example the 2gb package

You control your dedicated server with PuTTy and an FTP client I believe. They do state that they do not provide a Multicraft license for their dedicated servers.

Ok then if I buy it I can install plugins via FTP but how do I start/stop the server?

Everything would be managed via SSH (command line) unless you opted to install a control panel like MultiCraft. We also provide remote access control so you can reboot the entire server and access the KVM console incase you lock yourself out.

Okay, are there any programs I need to download in order to access the dedicated server? ( like to start/stop the server )

You would use Putty (http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/) to connect via SSH to your server to install / manage things on your server.
That would be the only program you would need to download in order to control your dedicated server.

You do know that when you purchase a dedicated server, you're not buying a Minecraft server, right? A dedicated server is pretty much an empty machine, so you should have some knowledge on how to install Minecraft and a control panel if that's what you want.
A control panel really is not needed if you plan on buying a dedicated server. You get full access to the machine by purchasing one you should have at least basic knowledge of linux. Again if anyone decides to buy one I will help setup their minecraft server if you needed help just send me a PM.
Yay! I bought a 3GB server and it runs pretty smoothly even with 50 plugins. Its really nice and good and cheap to! I suggest you check these guys out.

I have received my dedicated server and doing an official review right now.
Price - I have to say, the price is the best price in the minecraft hosting industry for a dedicated server with that kind of specs. My dedicated server ONLY took 1 hour to set up so I'm extremely pleased. ONLY $59 a month for a Intel Xeon E3-1270 Quad Core @ 3.40GHZ, 16GB DDR3 Ram and a 1GBPS Connection Line. I mean, if I were on any other host I would be paying $60 a month for maybe only 4GB of ram on shared hosting! Even a 14 year old can afford their dedicated servers. They also offer other pacakges with $5/m per GB of ram. The lowest I have ever seen go to per GB was $8/m besides from this host. My Rating: 5/5
Support - Support has been fantastic. I had some trouble understanding somethings so I added them on skype and got accepted instantly, I questioned away! I had a lot of questions because this was the first time for me getting a dedicated server and I had only a bit of knowledge of Linux. I ended talking to them on skype through a 1-2 hour period asking painful questions but they still stuck with me for the whole time and all their replies have been helpful and friendly. Without this kind of support it would've tooken me days to start my server and learning some Linux commands. My Rating 5/5
Performance - Theres not much to say here but the performance is bloody excellent! I did a few stress tests such as TNT placement. I experienced NO LAG AT ALL. There network is also very stable with barely any lag spikes. My Rating 5/5
Website - I think the website can be a tiny bit improved but this would probably come in the least important part when looking for a server host. My Rating - 4.5/5
Overall I would recommend this host to everyone! Not only do they have dirt cheap prices but their support and hardware performance will make you feel like they are being ripped off by selling at this price. For standard minecraft plans, literally a five year old can afford a 1GB minecraft server......It is that cheap and completely amazed. Support has been extremely helpful and fast replies ( usually 5 minutes MAX...for me. ) Performance has definitely been built to the best quality to run big minecraft servers with a lot of players.
Overall rating - 4.9/5

Alright, so after some thought I decided to sit down and officially write this.
Price: 11/10 (Why?): Because I bought 2 gigabytes for 10$, mind you, I have been searching for server hosts since January, and have tried a few. Most for 10$ a month I get a gigabyte or LESS, Now, mind you, when I saw the prices I was like:

Not. Legit
So when I read through the reviews, everyone was like, legit. So I purchased, price couldn't have been better, heres why:
Performance: 10/10 (Why?) No lag, and I Voxel, A LOT. So there is no lag, ever, plus I am running over 35 plugins. Right now, my lagometer is saying I have 20 ticks, 100%. Thats perfect.
Support: 10/10 (Why?): Because even when my brain is derping, the support is there, especially with Skype. The BEST way to get support is through Skype. They answer ever question I throw at them. And yes, even the really stupid ones.
Overall, if you want a cheap host with awesome customer support and no lag, This host is the way to go.
Thank you very much! We rely heavily on our customer reviews to build our reputation and each and every review means a lot to us. We appreciate your kind words very much.
It doesn't make sense how they can still make a profit from the dedicated servers, even with owning their own hardware. That's the only thing that is preventing me from purchasing one.
It's legit. I currently am renting one and everyone is working fine and couldn't be better. Maybe you can start off with one of the smaller plans and then once you actually think it's legit you can upgrade. Just my opinion...........I ain't forcing you to buy one
We feel we need to "defend" ourselves here even though we don't really have to/need to. I'll try to be as brief as possible so future customers / current customers can get a glimpse of the bigger picture.
This was not an overnight project when we decided to offer Minecraft servers; we have been carefully planning our pricing structure since the end of 2011. When entering a gaming market such as this, which contains many drive-by / overnight hosts / summer hosts, we tried something a little different. At first we tried the standard pricing model with promotional codes, which did not end very successful in our eyes so we changed it up. Instead of offering "eye catching" promo codes to grab customer attention we tried reducing our normal pricing to an acceptable level that meets our standards and is fair to the consumer. So far, it has worked out great! The gaming market itself is already very saturated, you either sink or swim.
As a company, you must establish some sort of base first and this is the current phase we are in. If anything, our pricing should be more re-assuring to future customers considering us. If we were seeking high profits from the start, that to us means we have a higher possibility of bailing once we make X amount of profit. Instead, we are establishing our base with a target of performing around operational costs, which translates to us being in this for the long haul, not just for the summer. We are a small team and we know we have a lot of eyes on us, not only here but also WHT (Yes we are aware of the skepticism and the posts floating around there).
In the end, once we finish up registering as an "official" business that does not really give us (or you as the customer) a security blanket that protects us from going belly up. If you wish to buy from us, go for it, our pricing model will not stay this way forever. Whatever price you sign up for is the price you will pay even if our costs go higher in the future. That's the benefit of putting your trust into us and in return we offer you very reasonable prices for pulling the trigger early.
We are not forcing you to buy from us, we respect those of you with the "skeptical posts" but we do not need you continually saying that in our forum thread. As a company, you have to start somewhere so give us a chance before you jump to conclusions. If you are genuinely interested feel free to contact [email protected] since this forum is not a main form of contact.
Well that clears up all my questions. I'm sorry for posting what I said earlier but as a possible customer I just like to know some things ahead of buying. These guys seem to know what they're doing and are vary polite.
On a side note, I've edited my post from before. :]

What is the average time of setting up a dedicated server if anyone knows.

Awesome review! Thanks. Also, we are aware we do need to spice up our website a bit
