The great thing about Slicehost was the size. They were big enough to be reliable but small enough to give a shit when you had a question on #slicehost on freenode.
PickledOnion's posts on the Slicehost articles page were top notch. I hope the quality continues.
It got to the point that I'd only recommend Slicehost, after a few bad experiences with media temple and the like.
DON'T FUCK IT UP, RACKSPACE.
- boredguy8 18y agoI hate to be a content-less "ditto", so let me only highlight that this comment represents a LOT of people's views. They were always very responsive (hell, direct support in IRC!) and it would be a shame to lose that. But it's a big field out there, and I (and I bet most) have no problem walking away if things go poorly under new management. I'm also disturbed that this hasn't been communicated any way besides a blog post. You have my e-mail address: let me know! This shouldn't be surprise I find when I'm on HN. I log into my server regularly: I don't visit your blog every day. IMHO, off to a less-than-stellar start.

- avinashv 18y agoThat's not fair. I'm not a Slicehost--uh, Rackspace customer, but if I was, I have more than enough stuff in my newsreader that I wouldn't want to subscribe to their blog.

- dmix 18y agoI mentioned how I plan to switch from Slicehost to Amazon in a twitter msg and they replied offering me any help I needed. I see that they are monitoring their name across social sites. I was impressed.
