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.

Throwing 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.

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.

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!

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.
