Currently, to delete a cloud server, you're required to call support. The option to delete servers via the API and interface have been removed. On more than one occasion I've been pitched by the "support engineer" to sign up for something akin to reserved instance pricing.
They claim it's a security measure.
I've never had an issue with service or availability. But, the price per performance on the VM instances is so much better elsewhere.
Was working to migrate to DO, but now I'm fast tracking that process.

- orestis 6y agoHuh, when did this happen? I deleted cloud servers via the GUI a few months ago as we are migrating stuff to AWS, but I still have some clients on Rackspace.
- neom 6y agoFinance department meeting: MBA1: So we've figured out that we make a lot of money from people just being too lazy to delete a server. CFO: Great, how do we make it even harder to delete a server? MBA2: We could remove the delete button..... MBA1: I don't think that's a very good idea CFO: Then how will they delete servers? MBA2: Fax us! CFO: Brilliant, I'll tell an engineer to develop the web code.
