Rackspace Technology Pricing: $0.02 to $0.06/month

The Rackspace Managed Cloud platform allowed us to eliminate dedicated hardware servers and start using a robust, flexible platform for our (and our client's) web services delivery needs. We can almost instantly spin up the configuration we need, easily change configurations as needed, and never be paying for more "servers" than we need.

To date we have had no issues with the service, its availability, its performance, or its features. If there is something we can't do on Rackspace's cloud platform we have not found it yet.

Instead of buying dedicated servers and putting them in a colo space, Rackspace's Managed Cloud has given us the flexibility and online tools we need to access the server infrastructure we require just in time. They offer cloud servers in a huge variety of configurations, support all operating systems, include CDN services with their Cloud Files service, and in general have made our lives that much easier. Cost savings are clearly realized by creating just the right amount or server horsepower we need, and not overbuying. Configurations can easily be changed (increased or decreased) so if we need more resources for a particular event, they are quickly brought online. When the event is over, we can easily roll back to where we were.

Rackspace are known for their fanatical support, and we found no exception to this rule. Their employees were friendly, helpful, and fast.

The only downside of Rackspace Managed Cloud is the price, but you are getting a managed service from them. If you don't need managed services, then don't get a managed cloud :).

We wanted reliable and solid hosting for our servers and storage in a secure environment. Rackspace provides solid uptime and network connectivity and we don't have any concerns about their security, unlike previous hosts we've been with.

Rackspace Technology excels in user-friendly interfaces, making it straightforward to manage infrastructure and navigate various cloud platforms. The intuitive design streamlines tasks, saving time and effort in daily operations. Implementing Rackspace Technology has been remarkably smooth. The onboarding process is well-guided, and their support team ensures a hassle-free transition. This ease of implementation allows me to quickly integrate their services into my workflow. I rely on Rackspace Technology daily, and its consistent performance is noteworthy. Whether it's managing infrastructure or optimizing cloud environments, the reliability of their services makes them a go-to solution for regular use. One of the standout features is the exceptional customer support provided by Rackspace Technology. The team's expertise and responsiveness have been crucial in resolving issues promptly. Integrating Rackspace Technology into my existing systems has been seamless. Their compatibility with different platforms and services simplifies the integration process,

One downside is the cost, which may be relatively higher compared to some competitors.

Rackspace Technology's load-balancing capabilities have been instrumental. By distributing incoming traffic across multiple servers, I have eliminated the risk of any single server being overwhelmed during peak times. This has not only improved website performance but also enhanced its overall reliability.

I've used rackspace cloud servers for a year or so now just for one off projects with great success. Simple, fast, and quite pleasant in dealing with their support. A few months ago I had a client have his site go viral. I spun up 4 web servers, a load balancer, and used a mysql cloud database to power the sites. It handled the load quickly and easily (over 250k visitors in 24 hours). Best part: after the site stopped being viral I took down the extra servers. Total cost: $25.

We had some issues with their 1st gen cloud servers not being able to resize. We contacted their online chat support and they were able to help me out in a few minutes. I'd also like to see some sort of realtime "here is my bill so far". They bill monthly but you don't know exactly how much you will get billed till that day.

The thing that i likes the most about it that it is ideal for heavy and unpredictable traffic and it works as pay as you go scalability. This helps us to connect to public clouds, private clouds for an individual application. It delivers unbiased guidance on best-fit managed cloud solutions to organizations around the globe.We can get full support of the world’s leading cloud platforms, which saves the pain and complexity of doing it ourself.

The thing which i dislike, in our win/loss research is the cost associated with the infrastructure.Elastic IP set still not available on Rackspace. No default firewall provided as is provided by AWS. Depending on the size of your cloud server, there are different bandwidth ports speeds

It offers offer an essential differentiator. It empowers with an idea to get the business up and running quickly with minimal up-front costs.It offers a platform for delivering new services and accelerating our time-to-market.

When we were RackSpace users we had a lot of questions about certain setup processes so we spent a lot of time working with the support team. I can say they've got one of the top support teams in any software. They're all super knowledgeable and every single issue or question we've had has been resolved. On top of their support team I really trusted them when it came to reliability and stability. We never experienced downtime and never ran into bug issues. The documentation is also spot on, we were able to easily navigate the documentation and find exactly what they need. It's super clear even for a beginner. Overall we enjoyed our experience with the company.

There's not much I really disliked about them. In the end the pricing was a little high for us and we ended up not using the cloud enough to get our money's worth. Other than that I do wish they had more options for automated backups. Really overall though you can go wrong with RackSpace. The price tag is on the higher end but what you get from their awesome support team and reliability makes it worth it.

We just needed a cloud storage solution that was incredibly easy to setup and reliable. We got just that with Rackspace. They're servers are all rock solid.

The customer service, either via phone, online chat, or the ticketing system, is so fast and helpful. Very knowledgeable people on staff.

We have had some issues where out cloud environments have been compromised.

Being able to move very quickly in turning up new servers is key. Not having to staff to support the machines internally has been a cost savings.

Very reliable. Good Support. Price is right.

Seems designed for larger companies with a IT staff. The level of knowledge they expect from customers makes them not a great match for us we need a company that can speak to experienced but relatively less technical people in a way we can understand. I find communications are fragmented. However our uptime is 100%and response to what we ask about has been good. Their contracting communications very difficult.

Reliable. Responsive.
