http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/servers/pricing/ http://www.rackspace.com/cloud/servers/pricing/ (scroll down a bit) has the pricing, they start at $0.68/hr for 15GB of ram, 40gb ssd system disk, 150gb ssd data disk and 4 vcpus. Significantly cheaper (however with lower specs) than the cheapest Amazon offering with an SSD ($3.10/hr I believe).
- ilaksh 13y agoThat's $480 per month. That might be competitive against AWS, but a 16gb Linode is $320 and 16gb Digital Ocean is only $160. Why would I want to pay so much more for Rackspace's? Or is this only for people who don't know that services other than AWS exist?
- josephlord 13y agoThat pricing is the "performance 2" group. The "performance 1" group starts at: $0.04/hr for 1 GB RAM, 20GB SSD system disk, 1 vcpu. That is about $30/month. More than Digital Ocean but a much cheaper entry point than the prices you listed.
- ilaksh 13y agoOK but not only is Digital Ocean a lot cheaper but so is Linode. Does the Rackspace server have a better CPU, or am I paying for better support supposedly, or what?
- josephlord 13y agoI haven't tested all the providers heavily enough relative performances or support realities to know and I wasn't contradicting you but the parent post listing incorrect entry pricing for the performance models.
