Rackspace was a nightmare Rackspace requires you to use specific hardware and migrate to newer equipment every 2 years. Every time you do rates increase. For us this was extremely disruptive. Migrating off Rackspace was very difficult. I gave notice, then was told Copying our data was extremely slow. I suspect they throttle data transfers. Getting a copy of our data on a USB was ridiculously difficult and took forever. Their trouble ticket system is annoying. Simple issues have to be referred to various departments. They required us to pay via ACH but then made billing errors. I still have an unresolved billing issue. They started closing tickets if I didn't respond immediately. Now they have terminated my online access to the support site and I no longer have access to the trouble ticket system.

Double Charges; High Staff Turnover We were paying for the same service with Datapipe. Then Rackspace bought Datapipe, took 5 months to switch us over and double-billed us for those five months! Ex: We paid Datapipe for monitoring from Jan-May, it took Rackspace 5 months to move our account over to their systems, and then in May they sent us a surprise arrears bill for Rackspace service during Jan-May. We've fought for months to get this amount erased, and it's been frustrating to say the least. There is high staff turnover so your "contact" suddenly isn't there anymore. There is a lot of chasing down the right people, multiple times, only to be treated apathetically. Several-year user of Datapipe/Rackspace looking for alternatives now.

Worst Customer Support Ever Customer for 10 years and they used to have a call centre in Texas with really good knowledgeable people. Now the techs have no idea what they are doing. I have a customer currently who I can't reset their password. The system has an error saying I can't reset it. Ticket has been there for weeks and they say to try it again but it never works. They even closed the ticket once with zero resolution. As of this morning my client can't use their email. I'm going to move my customers to Gmail. 20% rate increase for no good reason just now too.

You do VERY well You do VERY well. We continue to be pleased with your service. One small issue: somehow somebody has your customer list. I get emails that claim to be from you that ask me to volunteer information -- it is clearly fraud. I do send these on to you -- and now I've added your "abuse" address to my files so I can quickly pass it on to you.

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!
