Rackspace is very well suited as a IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) provider, particularly when you're planning on leaving the infrastructure up for a period of time. They seem to focus a bit more on that aspect of infrastructure. That is to say, they seem to promote running servers for longer periods of time and not spinning up/shutting down servers frequently based on usage spikes. While, they do support that sort of availability -- they don't have features built into their offering, necessarily, that make it a lot easier to implement. Our experiences with Rackspace have been 100% around their cloud platform, but they have another entire part of their business that is centered around hosting/maintaining/supporting physical hardware (bare metal). They have had a great reputation over the last several years (10+) for being top-notch providers in this space, which is one reason we even considered them for our Cloud-based hosting needs. We don't have any direct experience with their "bare metal" offerings, but their reputation is certainly great, and worth noting.
AccuWebHosting.Com - Windows Personal Hosting is always responsive to questions and they have a great Knowledge Base that can be tapped for finding self-help! Their email setup could be a bit easier to follow but then that may be just my inexperience.
Fanatical Support - I can't stress how great their team is. Not only are they knowledgeable, whenever I call in (during the day or in the middle of the night), I never have to wait more than a minute to speak to someone.
Webmail, Hosted Exchange, and Office365 Support - As an IT team of one, Rackspace's cloud solution and migration team has really helped me over the years to minimize issues for users, but also provide a reliable and flexible email platform.
We appreciate the security features on Accuwebhosting.com. This is because they were able to detect immediately, some potentially harmful files embedded into a free theme we once used for our website. Such vigilance has won them our confidence in the security aspect of their services.
We also use Accuwebhosting.com email services because we find it very reliable. Unlike some hosting services we've used before, Accuwebhosting.com has an excellent email service with their hosting services. Till date, we've never had cause to think that we've ever missed an email from our website contact forms or direct messages to our inbox from our clients and prospective clients.
We also think that the speed of the Accuwebhosting.com is one of the best we've seen and used. Our websites pass the basic speed tests on speed test services on the web.
We also find the customer service at Accuwebhosting.com simply amazing! We've never seen anything quite like it. We've always received prompt responses to our complaints and inquiries. This might be the most impressive attribute of Accuwebhosting.com
Latest outage 12/2/22 and counting over 75 hours - in my opinion, support has been miserable. In my experience, there's little/no communication regarding the problem or cause. No support. In my opinion, erroneous advice. Virtually NOTHING for users. I feel we've been abandoned.
Outage appears to have been caused by unpatched servers & no backup servers
In my opinion, NO COMPANY should trust their data or services to a nonresponsive company like Rackspace.
In my experience, there are NO published policies/practices re: server maintenance (patching) to mitigate hacking, NO published policies/practices re: backup servers in the event of problems. I feel it's stupid of me as a user to have chosen to trust them with critical services
I guess their hosting service can be faster. Our websites load pretty quickly, especially after applying Accuwebhosting.com optimization tips, but we are not up to the highest speed yet. Again, it might be that we need to work more on our optimization.
If I wake tomorrow completely incapable of managing a client cloud operation, our dedicated Rackspace Cloud Engineering Team is deployable as literal extension of our business, immediately addressing all needs and requirements without cause of business disruption for our consultancy, and more importantly for the mission-critical ones of our clients. For this reason alone, Rackspace is our choice of choices!
I've been using AccuWeb hosting for many months now. Never noticed any downtime yet. Speed is good & support is great. Would recommend anyone to give them a try, you won't be disappointed. If you want a free WordPress host to start your online presence.
The company does not put as much focus on usability as other cloud competitors and it is kind of clear. It would be good to take a quarter and gather intense feedback, and then another quarter and focus purely on UI enhancements and backend interoperability
The speed at which Accuweb processes information is high. I never had any issues surfing my websites neither do my site visitors. The website templates are very easy to use and well organized. I would recommend Accuweb to anyone who desires a professional website that is user-friendly. I host my dirt racing website on Accuweb and it runs flawlessly with no issues whatsoever. I have not had any downtime do to Accuwebs servers and highly recommend anyone looking for a good reliable webhost to give them a try.

LiquidWeb or Amazon both offer some products that could be considered similar. I will say though, after years of dealing with Rackspace, their service is what always has me coming back. Their support is typically so much better than other vendors that I hesitate to use other vendors. Pricing might be cheaper, but when you have an issue and need it resolved ASAP, then Rackspace has come through in the majority of cases for me.
I had to pay for Namecheap but accuwebhosting.com has been free for me. I will say the migration from the Namecheap site to accuwebhosting was not elegant, and I therefore I decided to rebuild the entire site from scratch. Both hosting sites worded fine for our purposes - our site is not very sophisticated so I don't think we stressed the hosting companies.
It has allowed me to reach more people with a good working website that I can totally rely on.
The speed of the servers works well for my clients since they usually expect a fast response from the websites they visit.
The value of AccuWebHosting.Com compared to other hosting solutions is clearly superior, allowing me to get the service I really need without paying more than I should.
