Rackspace Acquires SliceHost

On Thursday, October 23rd, 2008, in Hacking, Technology, by Justin

I have been using Slicehost for my hosting needs for close to six months. I have also referred a handful of my close friends to them as well. Firstly, Slicehost has offered me amazing customer service, exceptional uptime, and flexibility few others offer. They provide full root access to a variety of Linux flavors, my favorites being CentOS and Fedora. Recently they have added much-requested features such as bandwidth pooling, private ip addresses, and a knowledgebase and help article library that rivals anything on the net.

Let me first congratulate Jason, Jared, and the rest of the crew on being acquired by Rackspace. I imagine you guys are out celebrating like rock stars.

Moving forward, I hope Slicehost can continue to provide the personal and extraordinary service and customer support previously offered. Rackspace is a solid company, and I hope they realize, what aint broke, don’t need fixing.
