Thank you for the info James!
Any words of wisdom on the migration?
Thanks, Ken

I moved a client (4 servers) from Slicehost to Rackspace a few
months back and so far it's actually been less expensive. Slicehost
gives you a bunch of bandwidth up-front, whereas Rackspace charges
less for the servers and bandwidth is usage-based.
Slicehost 2GB server w/ 1200GB bandwidth: $130/mo
Rackspace 2GB server: $88/mo + 1200GB bandwidth: $215/mo = $303/mo
(yikes)
In this case, the client only used about 800GB of bandwidth/mo
across all servers so the overall cost went down a bit.
Check your current bandwidth usage and play with the Rackspace
calculator at http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/cloud_hosting_products/servers/pricing/
Hopefully this gives some cost perspective, though I definitely
agree that migrating is a pain.

Hi All,
I'm not sure how many of you use Slicehost like I do but I received
an email this morning informing me that they are going to "convert
current Slicehost accounts to Rackspace Cloud Servers accounts over
the next year". In other words, they're killing off Slicehost. In
my opinion, Slicehost has been just great (been a customer for at
least 4 years, I think) and from everything I hear Rackspace is
going to me more expensive. Plus I get to do a migration instead of
doing actual productive work.
Anyway, just thought I'd pass this along...
Thanks, Ken
