Rackspace about to leave Public Cloud IaaS market

Hmmm... interesting. We&#x27;re Rackspace customers, but only due to inertia after their acquisition of Slicehost. But we&#x27;re starting to migrate off of them due to price. I wanted to spin up a new server a few days ago and got sticker shock at the price, decided to check Linode and found that Linode was about half the price, for an instance with better specs. So that new instance went on Linode and I expect we&#x27;ll move everything to Linode over the new few weeks and months.<p>It&#x27;s too bad in a way, because I&#x27;ve actually been a fan of Rackspace in every other regard. But the prices just aren&#x27;t competitive and we can&#x27;t afford to burn money to support them.
