    If you need a trusted email hosting platform, Rackspace is definitely the way to go. Not only is it simple to use, but the help they're willing to provide is also outstanding. Whether you're upgrading (or even downgrading) a service, or have concerns over any use cases, they're great at providing assistance and being diligent to understand your needs. If you only require a simple email for only a few people, it may not be the way to go, but it's hard to beat the price they offer (and the clarity on that pricing as well).

    The simple design and ease of use are my favorite! This made taking electronic payments so easy and effortless. Especially during a time when everyone was already stressed enough, contactless payments meant one less stress for everyone. offers software that is versatile and also nearly free for a new business.

    Cons
    Rackspace
    • Ticket system - For the most part, it's fine, but you have to log in to see the ticket/case messages. The email notification only lets you know you have a message.
    • Login speed - It takes a bit longer than what most users would like to login to the admin panel.
    • Clicks to control panel - The default screen is the ticket screen. I would prefer the home page immediately include a method to get to my admin tools beyond ticket creation.

    • I don't have major inconveniences, only that using several regions becomes a bit tedious because you
    • need to create a certificate for each of the regions in which you have the resources hosted

    Honestly, if it wasn't for the way in which ticket updates are shared, it would be a ten. They provide excellent support, from sales to technical to even migration services. I've always gotten my questions answered clearly, by someone who is human. If answers were displayed via email as well, rather than just a notice that I needed to login to see a message, it would be even better.
