The one you prefer, my personal experience ev1.
However theres only 1 server at rackspace and we have not submitted a ticket in over a year. Only time we haev really spoken too them alot is when it failed, and within a few hours they had already replaced the hdd and where restoring the data off the slave. So RackSpace is also very good.
However depending on your needs I would give ev1 a try.Server Management - AdminGeekZ.com

LOL - this is like comparing apples and monkeys.
Rackspace is by far the superior hosting provider.Adam - AQORN

Rackspace is MANAGED provider (and leader in this business)
EV1 is UNMANAGED provider (and leader in this business as well)
So it's wrong question in a first case.

Basically comes down to how much related experience you have (i. e. Linux, Windows, etc. depending on the OS you want). If you have a good amount to a lot, go with EV1. If you have none, go with Rackspace.

In this case it means the same, because they can't! get to work, some of them can't! get seen in anything less, or atleast in their own minds they do.

Do a search in the OUTAGES forum and find out how many threads discuss outages by Rackspace versus how many threads discuss outages by EV1 and then decide how important uptime and network reliability is to you.
*1* maintenance window announced by Rackspace
compared against
*22* threads about EV1/Rackshack going down or appearing to be down.
I know a listing in the Outages forum doesn't mean you're down but it is indicative of a network that is good versus one that just plain ROCKS.
Remember we're talking about which provider is better- not which is less expensive. And the car analogy is meaningless because we're talking about which car is *better* - not which car is cheaper. You can drive a Jaguar but as they say about Jaguar - own 2 so while one is in the shop, you'll have the second one to drive. Price means nothing (directly) in an argument concerning quality.Adam - AQORN

Well I have experience with both web hosts and you really should not compare rackspace and ev1 servers considering huge price difference between both web hosts. Ev1 servers.net is one of the best cheap server provider and i don't think ev1 servers support is that better when compared to rackspace.com but again they don't charge that much. The price difference is almost 2.5 times. Rackspace have fanatic customer support but they charge 2.5 times more then ev1servers so it has to be better.
If you don't bother about money and want 100% uptime with fanatic / instant support go with rackspace.
regarding network uptime, i think i had 100% uptime with both providers.
btw, webhostingtalk.com is also hosted on rackspace network.CPHosting - Web Hosting Experts Since 1998.

I have more positive experiences with Rackspace. Without a doubt, one of the best network around (mainly because they don't oversell it). Techs are well-trained and by far one of the most professional in the business. (They are also the only one who send me Christmas greetings this year )
However you do need to think about:
1. What do you wish to host? Is it something that must be always up?
2. How critical is what you want to host?
3. Do you know how to run around a shell environment and manage your own server?
4. What's your expected budget?
Once you have all these answers, it should naturally guide you towards one or the other, as others have mentioned, they are both quite different.••• Like us on Facebook to qualify for discounts! •••
