CAConstant 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.

GBDon't use RackSpace Don't use RackSpace. RS of 15 years ago was AMAZING! but Rackspace 2022, sux ballz. If you want your email and content unavailable for hours or DAYS in the middle of the week and during business hours, Rackspace is what you want. But most other hosting/email providers understand maintenance windows and keep their customers up and running as much as possible. NOT RACKSPACE.

GBWorst 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.

GBRackspace 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.

GBWorst company you will ever deal with. Worst company you will ever deal with. All customer service is outsourced overseas. They don't solve any issues, just keep saying "we'll keep you informed" and there is zero follow up on anything. I am taking all 10 of my domains and we are going to another service. Whoever is managing RackSpace as a business should be fired.
