    Sorry to hear that

    Dear Sirs,

    I've used Rackspace now for the last 6 or so years. They are really fanatical about support and uptimes. Over the course of six years, only twice has a virtual server of mine had a problem due to underlying hardware failure. Outage due to hardware over the 6 years has been within the space of 1 hour... Really really incredible...

    When support was needed to action something for me, they got onto it straight away. Raise a ticket, and go onto the chat and mention the ticket number, you're helped within the hour. I can't see HP/IBM doing that for small companies that value service for money.

    If Rackspace is going to be bought, I sure hope the new owners will be made aware of the value of the support Rackspace delivers and that that is a big part of why Rackspace has a space amongst the rackers...

    Just my $0.02, €0.02, or whatever currency your tuppence comes in these days,

    Guus
