Pros

  • Quick uptime
  • Simple Signup
  • Lots of options on what you need
  • Rackspace is a known company (not some unknown startup)

Cons

  • Support does not seem to be what it use to be, use to be a solid 10 when dealing with them, now more like an 8
  • Pricing can be tricky to figure out
  • For some people too many options.

Return on Investment

  • Quick setup allowed me to work on the application not setup of where it was going to run
  • Expand ability with a few clicks was a great help, no worrying about if I needed more "power", few clicks and I had it.
  • Tech support is hit or miss so that can be problematic and that was cause for concern and took time away from development

Alternatives Considered
