What's up with Cloud Servers?
You may have noticed this post from our sister company Mosso. The announcement has generated some questions about Slicehost which we want to address.
We promised that Slicehost wouldn’t change after the Rackspace acquisition and that is still 100% true. We continue to offer Slices which include bundled and pooled bandwidth, predictable pricing, great support, a legendary articles database and a lively community.
Cloud Servers is a separate Rackspace product offering that works as a utility service with hourly billing. The pricing does not include bandwidth (a question that keeps coming up). The entry-level support is similar to ours with an option for upgrading to phone support. For more details, check out the Cloud Servers page.
We have a podcast coming out soon and a ton of stuff to discuss. The team is pumped to be with Rackspace and delivering what we always have – Slices with a big dollop of Slicehost Love!
Do pop by our chatroom or email if you have any questions, we’d love to get your feedback.

Mosso’s Cloud Servers are great for sites needing to run webcrawlers, and Slice for running core services. Wish both companies could team up and offer private ips/server cloning between their services.
