We have a single server with Rackspace and no longer require it, but have a further 4 months on a 6 month contract to use. As such, we are looking to transfer the server to someone who can make use of the server for the remaining contract period.

There will be no cost involved to anyone who decides to do this aside from the continuing invoices issued by Rackspace.

OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
CPU: Single AMD Opteron 1212 (2.0 GHz)
RAM: 1 GB DDR
HDD: x2 250GB SATA (RAID1)
Monthly Traffic: 150GB
Backup: Managed Backup Agent + MySQL
Location: Dallas/Fort Worth, TX

This includes the standard Rackspace services including 24/7 phone and ticket support, 100% uptime SLA and port monitoring.

The recurring monthly fee is £256 GBP (exc VAT). 2 months have already been paid for, including the setup fee which leaves 4 months remaining.

We would request a transfer of the server to a new or existing Rackspace account.

If you're interested, please PM me.

You say exc VAT.

But when the account is transferred to someone in the US, are they still responsible for the VAT?

Will rackspace be part of this transfer process throughout or is this one of those things where you just change the account information on their system? Because technically the contract will still be on your name unless rackspace got involved and changed the name on the contract.

The transfer would be through the Rackspace procedure so the server along with the contract will be transferred to the new account. If that account is based in the USA then VAT would not be charged (confirmed with my Rackspace account manager)

Any takers?
