Managed Hosting @ RackShack ?
Would you guys/gals use Rackshack if they were to offer managed servers ? Why yes or why not ?
Anybody have an idea how much more RS would charge per server if it were managed ?

Just my opinion, but companies should stick to core business. If you're going to be the McDonalds of dedicated server's, don't try to sell Filet-Mignon (?Spelling?).
Just my 0.02

RackShack will be providing Managed hosting near the end of this summer, that was a part of the big announcement earlier if I'm not mistaken.

The announcement was Ensim/CPanel related. The managed service they are still considering how to approach it.

Actually, he (headsurfer) also talked about offering managed servers. He said they would offer a product of comparable quality to rackspace, but at a much lower price.

Servers like Rackspace's with more affordable prices, that would be awsome.. they should really make an effort to do that, if they have so many clients already, I can't imagine how many more they can get by offering managed servers.......
And we need that kind of host..• I'm looking for programmers •
• I'm looking for reseller hosts ••
• I'm looking for Partners •••

with that many tech support they have, managed solution wouldn't be a problem. If they do offer managed solution and it turn out good, it will put great pressure on other provider such as nocster, DN etc..

I would think rack shack would need to hire more techs experienced customer support reps in order to offer true managed support on the level of rack space or a few other providers.

If Rackshack offered managed servers, I would use them. Simple as that.

I've heard enough about their great network, and considering WHT is hosted there, I can say I never really see it (WHT) down. I have before, but not for more than a few seconds (excluding the lag/down from MS SQL worm..)What does one host say to the other? "(HostA) Want to go see a movie?" "(HostB) Sure, can your parents drive?"
I'm premium, and no, I did not have to pay $6 a month to figure that out.

Yup, that's why I'd sign up for managed (or semi-managed) hosting with them in a heartbeat.

If rackshack offered managed servers, I'd definitely put them on the list of considerations... I'm already planning on getting a managed server in the fall for an ecommerce site that is currently on a rackshack server. I don't need lots of hand holding, but if something breaks and I can't fix it myself, I wouldn't want to hear a restore is the only option.
