I remember being on Slicehost in the pre-Rackspace days. When Slicehost got sold and became (or merged with?) Rackspace I jumped ship. In my next two professional roles in the 2010s I was brought on to improve process on the engineering team. Both of those companies were Rackspace customers (both cloud and servers). I found Rackspace terrible to deal with and their offerings weren’t very competitive or stable. First big thing I did was move as many sites away from Rackspace as possible. Maybe there are compelling reasons to be on Rackspace today (and I know this is Exchange hosting and not server hosting), but IMO there are so many better companies to deal with.

Rackspace has gone from one of the best in the industry to one of the worst.

They completed that transition several years ago. :(

Former Racker here. Once we got bought by Private Equity, we went downhill very fast.
