Rackspace Email vs. Wordpress.com

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).

• Racksapce is quick and helpful when contacted for support.
• Rackspace is easy to set up and run on various email clients.
• The service is affordable and compares well with any similar services.
• It has a nice admin panel which is easy to follow and understand.

• 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.

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.

• We have had little disruption with our emails. I can think of only one problem in the last three years.
