Less than one star Less than one star. They used to be just good, but for several years the services are lack of ethics and many incompetence, changed the tiers and take many days in solve tickets. After years of been his client our small business was forced to change provider due the lack of support and increasing of prices. They charged us the equivalent of 3 months of services, based on a “ general contract” never signed. Avoid this kind of services provider!

Business email crippled while we waited a MONTH for support I’m writing to make sure nobody has to endure the terrible customer service that I recently got from Rackspace. I moved my company’s six email accounts there two months ago. A short time later, a malformed auto-reply email started self-replicating (which a properly-configured mail server should not allow). I quickly contacted live chat (since it took Rackspace support FOUR DAYS to answer my first support ticket), but they were unable to delete the runaway email. I submitted a ticket on August 5. The bad email quickly replicated over 250,000 times and crippled my email client. After five tries their back-end support team finally fixed the problem on September 1. It took them AN ENTIRE MONTH to repair a problem that should take a good admin five minutes to fix.

Today our entire account was closed… Today our entire account was closed without warning or reason. This brought down over 50 client websites. It took me 11 hours of effort contacting support to finally get the account reinstated. We got there in the end, but it was very frustrating as I was bounced around the call centre and was made promise after promise that was ignored. Proceed with caution.

Long-standing customer... for a reason! We have been with Rackspace for a number of years, and have always found their service first class. The main thing for us is the technical backup from their brilliant team. Yes, Rackspace is more expensive than many other providers, but for organisations like ours where the website is 'mission critical' it is worth it. The 24/7/365 support of their highly knowledgeable technical team is invaluable.

Support tickets closed without response Support tickets closed without response; late notifications for overage; hidden network egress costs; waiting for weeks and weeks for responses to support queries; poor user interface and support system. Cannot recommend Rackspace in good faith for any use-case or workload.
