I thought Rackspace was dead, but then I looked it up.

It is a public company traded as Nasdaq: RXT, it still has $3B revenue per year but market cap at $600M. For comparison DigitalOcean only has $600M revenue but at $3.5B market cap.

I remember they purchased Slicehost, that was the major competitor against Linode before DO was a thing. And everything since then went down hill. I was hoping Rackspace would provide the infrastructure and BareMetal while Slicehost would be the VPS ( I think Cloud meant something different back then but I may be wrong ).

Time to buyout Rackspace and Make Slicehost Great Again /s
