Am looking around for a web host. I come across iweb http://iweb.com/dedicated/server-deal/ which offers $70 usd / month for a dedicated server? Is this normal and good for the price?

Most SVN managed servers will cost $50++/month for a spec lower than what is offered above.

If I am willing to pay a similar price for a VPS, when I can get a dedicated server. Shouldn’t I go for the former?

quantumphysics replied: Don’t forget that’s a 1 year contract.

chennaihomie replied: Its a good price but IMO, A higher end VPS is better than PENTIUM 4

XeHSean replied: Its a good price but I’d be weary of signing a 1-year contract with them if you have not done any business with them in the past

atchoooo replied: It’s not.

The 1 year contract only saves the customer $49 setup.

There is a 30 day money-back guarantee that applies even if you go for the 1 year contract (only used traffic would be billed in case of cancellation).

VPS has some advantages, dedicated other advantages. It really depends of your usage, if you need the dedicated resources/io/etc. A lot of other providers here on WHT offer servers in the $70 range too.
