Speed is fine here, but of course... I may be biased. Been a softlayer customer for years, and am not a competitor with them. LOL

Yeah, if anything, it's a hair quicker for me, but really nothing noticeable.

Can't say I noticed anything speed wise prior to reading these news, so it's what I would call "fine".

Speed has been great for me, too. Unless there is a magic server teleporter, I'm guessing WHT is running on brand new hardware too .
If you have to operate your company behind the scenes or under a fake name, maybe it's time to leave the industry and start something fresh.0

WHT was faster. Did you move because WHT was hacked due to poor Rackspace security measures?

It's not bad at all. But at times it does appear to load sluggishly. You may want to get rid of the powered by RackSpace at the bottem of the page.

If your website accepts a credit card (even if processed through a gateway), then you fall under PCI requirements.
In other words, during checkout, WHT would redirect your browser to a 3rd party website where you would actually pay for the product.0

I haven't really noticed a difference and curious why the switch was made.

Speed is great here too.
I don't imagine its permanent, unless iNET and RackSpace have had a falling outAlasdair

most likely to allow the site to continue running while the entire environment is taken apart and put back together etc - nothing says it is a permanent move, and if the site ends up getting hacked again, i guess it would rule out any inside-job or physical access theories.
