Why Here? Why Now?—About Rackspace Hosting

Rackspace Hosting is the service leader in cloud computing and the founder of OpenStack, the leading open source cloud platform. We deliver enterprise-level managed hosting, cloud hosting and e-mail hosting services to businesses of all types and sizes around the world. We serve over 190,000 customers from data centers around the world, and that number continues to grow. Rackspace integrates the industry's best technologies and practices for each customer's specific needs, delivering it as a service via the company's commitment to Fanatical Support®.

For the over 5,000 current Rackers, however, we are much more than a hosting company. Rackspace offers a vibrant company culture filled with compelling work, a supportive team environment and a lot of fun. We are as Fanatical® about serving our clients and one another as we are about building the future of technology.

We compete in the same space as Amazon, Microsoft and Google because the work that Rackers do allows us to lead the race for innovation and quality. Rackers’ opinions, ideas and creativity are pushed to the limit because pushing beyond the boundaries of today’s hosting standards is the only way to be number one. The pressure is on — are you ready?

But, don’t take it from us—Rackspace’s awards and recognitions include:

  • Fortune 100 Best Companies to Work For 2008, 2009, 2011
