Terrible company Having moved to another provider I find that Rackspace are taking money from my bank even though my account is closed. I can't deal with them because the account is closed. They say they will investigate and ring back but never do.

Constant issues with outages and roadblocks to canceling account Constant issues with outages and poor support left us with no option but to set up new hosting services through AWS. Now we can neither delete the servers we have at Rackspace nor cancel our account without having to call in to their support line. These are basic controls that should be provided at the account admin level; however, Rackspace does not provide this to their customers. They'd rather, present inconveniences and roadblocks to make it difficult to stop using their services thereby allowing them to keep billing you for as long as possible. In addition, once you call in it takes them 3 business days to cancel your account.

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.

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.

I used their service for years I used their service for years. Probably paid them over 500k over 18 years and while expensive, the service was fine. Then I tried to stop the service. They ignored my cancelation requests and continued to bill me. Then they had the audacity to put me in collections. Avoid these guys. They're fine until they screw you
