I have been consulting for a company since last 5 years. The company has its server hosted at Rackspace. We have been enjoying the hosting services provided by Rackspace for some time now. We have been using Rackspace for last 12 years and never had any issues with hosting or with respect to support from Rackspace.
Recently we upgraded our server at the hosting to a more powerful one and the Rackspace team helped us through the entire migration process and to stabilize the applications and environments in our new server. On top of this they also provided support for stuffs which no hosting company is liable for like switching applications and data migration to new application etc.
They have a very nice administration panel to manage devices, firewalls and networks for our account.
We have never experienced any downtime due to network,bandwidth, hardware, maintenance schedules or any thing else. Even though there are maintenance schedules but those are hardly noticeable.
They have a fantastic support team. Their support team is highly trained and efficient and is definitely one of the best and each and every individual support member tries to resolve your issues with minimum effort to be put from your side.
The only thing that they don`t have or don`t support as of now is free hosting, this could have drawn so many customers to them. I just hope they make a free tier available.

I definitely like Rackspace over any other hosting and would recommend to others.

I was a customer of Rackspace.com from last 1 year and don’t even have a single thing for which I can complain.I got the response of my e-mails so instantly. Whenever I have queries or doubts, I got the answers of them very rapidly; in all they deliver great level of customer satisfaction.They offer c-panel which was configured with all those things which I required to develop, edit, manage, sell, host, research, market and for incorporating any element of the web in the website. They offer RV Site builder which is just great and comes with lots of images, photos and interfaces for different websites like YouTube. With the help of RV site builder my website can be configured on my own with the photo gallery, contact details, blog, guest books and newsletter.Databases can be configure quite easily, editing of files and software management is the top priority and the good thing is that server was not down for even once...
I would like to recommend this provider because it is easy to use and due to reliability.
Their cPanel include different software such as image editors and compressors blogs, shopping carts, polls, content managers, chat rooms and website developers with many installations done on quick basis. The time taken in installations is only few seconds and it also offers WYSIWYG editors to use easily.

If you are planning to start a website, then this the right web host but if you want to generate traffic in your websites, then maybe this is not the right choice. Initially I face some issues but now everything is fine. Their servers are faster than before. They respond to the customer queries also very fast. But I am not very happy with the layout of their cpanel admin. They are having so many advertisements for services and for upgrades. This is appropriate for the small size businesses and for website who don’t want to generate high level of traffic. They offer unlimited web space and bandwidth. I would like to recommend this to all those who are looking for a good web host available at cheap prices

Rackspace.com offers are just great and offer good quality hosting. The thing which I don’t like about them is that they always focus on my pocket to take some money out of it. Their main focus is on the aspects of marketing, advertisements in the cPanel and emails.I was connected with the provider from last 7 months to now and I do not face any problem of downtime. Their support is also good. I would like to recommend rack space to any transitional web designer/developer.

I was using the server of Rack space for last three months to till now and no doubt they were amazing! They offer good level of technical as well as customer support and is ahead than any other web hosting company in this context. Once I face some different kind of issue and they were unable to help me so they said frankly and honestly this thing. They always give proper response of your queries on the phone.The company for which I am working, I am providing technical support to the frontend and backend of the company .Thus I am in the need of POP3, E-mail, Webmail, Plesk, SSL, SMTP, HTTPS etc. Ranging from simple HTTP to SSL they were able to answer all the queries.

.At my Web Development agency, I was using the services of the dedicated server of rack space from last 3 years. The company offers good level of customer support, answer your queries properly on the phone and offers great web hosting.

Hey guys I do have a suggestion for you please try to avoid this company.One of my clients is having their own web hosting provider, Mapple IT who avail the services of the Rack space for their infrastructure and servers.The customer care staffs of the provider has no ides regarding their working, their poor customer service, they lack good communication skills, and sometimes develop new changes in the services and servers of my customers without any prior notice or info.
I face one thing so many times like they migrated my servers and given wrong version numbers for MYSQL and PHP and due to this downtime in the website occur very frequently and need to write code again and again and changes occur in the Apache settings by which it errors and downtime in the websites occurs again and again.Regarding the other matters, I face many issues in the context of e-mail services which are "cloud-based" such as mails are delivered in the long time, time taken in sending the e-mails and other log-in issues.When I called them, I found nobody picks the call and listen to your issue. In all, I just want to say that I don’t want to connect with this company again.
