A totally unreliable service A totally unreliable service. Our emails are regularly down and there is no way to reach support other than lodge a ticket which can literally take up to 7 days for someone to response. The worst decision we made was moving our email hosting to Rackspace - we have had nothing but troubles ever since!

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.

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.

Excellent product Although I’ve never needed to contact customer service, the product is top notch. The email interface is clean and straight forward. The admin interface is robust without being bloated or confusing. The price for the services I’m receiving is excellent.

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.
