GBLong-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.

DOThrowing money in a firepit would make me feel better than spending it with them Support makes a mistake and commits us to more licences that we need, for an annual subscription. Refuses to fix their mistake, technical managers get pulled in who promise credit notes but don't deliver. It's been over a year now, and numerous follow-ups, and still nothing. Our account manager just refused to deal with it. And now, after asking for the process to move away from them, just stops responding. This company has become a joke.

GBTerrible 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.

GBDouble 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.

GBSupport 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.
