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.

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.

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.

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 Abominable Support All the staff who knew what they were doing has been replaced by Indians, who have NO CLUE.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.

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.
