One thing - if you're outsourcing to a third party (not rackspace) for sysadmin, it would be much cheaper to just use a colo with 'bare metal' machines you order yourself - so why do you use rackspace?
- mojombo 16y agoWe're a bootstrapped company and the initial capital outlay for servers would be a serious investment at this stage. Rackspace gives us access to hardware on-demand at monthly prices that fit our budget. In addition, we have a partnership deal with RS that gives us a discount on hardware. As we continue to grow, any of these criteria may change, at which point we will re-evaluate the situation.
