Our no-loophole, no-legalese SLA
The Rackspace Cloud believes that your websites, email and databases should always be protected against unscheduled outages. Our commitment to you is that every effort will be made to keep your sites online.
Most importantly, we'll credit your next invoice with the equivalent of 1 day's hosting fee for each 60 minutes of unscheduled downtime (up to 100% of your Recurring Fee). It doesn't matter why—any time your websites, email or databases are offline or not functioning as a result of a failure in our systems, data center, or network is considered downtime, and we begin counting from the minute you open an incident report with our support team.
That's it—we've designed our SLA to be ultra-simple. Please note that the Cloud Sites SLA does not cover coding or configuration errors on your part, and like all hosts, we may schedule occasional maintenance windows that will affect the availability of some services. We'll post notification of scheduled maintenance before it happens, and since we operate clusters of servers, maintenance that causes downtime should be rare.
Cloud Sites is used to quickly host very scalable and reliable websites.
Unlike traditional web hosting, this is not a massive amount of customers crammed on one server. Instead, it's a massive amount of servers that power each visit to your web site.
You'll want Cloud Sites if you're looking for web hosting without the hassles of managing a server or the poor performance and reliability common with virtual hosting.
Cloud Files is unlimited online storage for media, files, and backups.
If your web application needs a lot of storage for images or user-generated content, Cloud Files can store it all for pennies per gigabyte.
You'll want Cloud Files if you've ever asked yourself, "How are we going to store all that?" The best part is that you only pay for the online storage and bandwidth you are currently using. Cloud Files is big online storage without the big costs.
Cloud Servers allow technical users to get custom servers in minutes with full root access.
With Cloud Servers get what you want when you need it, Cloud servers are both instant and disposable. Make a new Server for staging and four new Servers for production. Delete one; create three more. You only pay for what's provisioned and Cloud Servers start at under 2 cents an hour!
