I tried a 256 MB slice (that’s what they call a cloud) with Slicehost, a rackspace company, and the guys are AWESOME! Shortly after that, rackspace came up with rackspacecloud.com (they had slicehost, why would they? who cares 
), and I have been a big big fan of rackspace. So, I decided to give rackspacecloud.com a shot. Same memory, same disk space, same everything (well I haven’t really needed rackspacecloud.com support that often) and close to half the price.
256 MB on slicehost = $20 vs 256 MB on rackspacecloud.com = $11 approximately (for me atleast)
Doesn’t quite make sense to me
