I still have a couple of dedicated servers with Rackspace. Been with them for over 10 years and am sad to see this. They truly did have the best support and were an amazing partner to my business in the earlier years.

I knew this was coming and have moved a lot of our stuff off in preparation. Partly because of the unknown but also partly because their support has diminished over the past 2 years.

I was kind of hoping Amazon would acquire them. I don't have much faith with the purchase being a PE firm. Time now to move the rest of our stuff off.

I'm in the same boat. Where are you moving to?

We have moved a lot of our stuff to AWS and plan to move 2 more sites that are on the RS dedicated server to AWS. 1 service in particular really does need a dedicated server and we plan to move that to a Hostnexus dedicated box. We have a couple of other boxes with Hostnexus that we have had for years. They are not as good as RS but they do have decent support especially for the price of the boxes (fraction of RS) http://www.hostnexus.com/solutions/dedicated-hosting.php

How come this is an order of magnitude more expensive than European providers such as OVH and Hetzner? Are there "American equivalents" of OVH and Hetzner? European goods are generally pricier, not the other way around!

If you're looking for premium, I'd check out LiquidWeb without hesitation. LimeStone Networks is also up there.

Not affiliated with either, just really knowledgable of the industry.

I would recommend that you look at SoftLayer, or if you'd like to avoid someone part of a larger company (IBM), SingleHop has also been awesome to work with.
