Fanatical Support? Not anymore. Abominable Support All the staff who knew what they were doing has been replaced by Indians, who have NO CLUE. Open a trouble ticket, nobody ever responds. Weeks and weeks go by. Issues aren't getting resolved. I'm done, making plans to exit Rackspace. It's difficult when you you're a reseller and have several hundred accounts, but it needs to happen unfortunately. Company is going down fast.

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.

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!

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.

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.
