I swear every month I was being handed new charges to my bill. My bill each month would keep growing even thou we were under contract. I moved and switch to Server Intellect. Now I pay 1/3 of the price and have no monthly contract. Plus the managed support Server Intellect offers is BETTER than that of Rackspace's fractal support. We used Rackspace for sometime.

RackSpace guys caused unneeded downtime for my web site and even turned my SMTP server into spam-machine. :-( More here: <a href="http://developmenttips.blogspot.com/2008/08/rackspace-are-they-really-best-web.html" rel="nofollow">http://developmenttips.blogspot.com/2008/08/rackspace-are-they-really-best-web.html</a> I’m hosting my web site on RackSpace for one month and so far I’m not pleased with RackSpace.

Our website gives our volunteers webspace to create an open and free internet knowledge database in the Netherlands, (called Leerwiki.nl). We choose Rackspace in the first place, because of the tracking tools that allowed us to keep a track on all the web management activities. Also because of the ticketing system that allowed us to report problems to the customer care. Because of the high costs we had to switch to a cheaper hosting company, but we never had problems with Rackspace. Regards Annemarie For the hosting of our website we first choose Rackspace.

A 'tape' backup? My god, it's the year 2008 already. How can a hosting company be so 'on par' with the web's forever changing demands on hosting, and not be able to cope with a (god forbid for all their users) catastrophe without being able to get back online within several hours? That's just plain scary. I seriously hope that last paragraph was not truth.

All you are paying for is name branding. You can get the same if not better services from companies like Server Intellect and slowah.
