AllStruck has partnered with RackSpace to provide the very best web hosting. They provide not only the best servers, but also the most flexible options. For those with Linux experience setting up a RackSpace Cloud Server is a breeze, with pricing starting at just $11/mo. for a 256MB or RAM virtual dedicated and instantly upgradeable single IP machine. If you need a standard web-based administrative console purchase a RackSpace Cloud Site. We’ve learned that if you’re serious about your website it should be hosted somewhere reliable, secure, fast, and friendly.

$11/mo. is an average monthly quote given by RackSpace.

Cloud Servers are billed based on usage at an hourly rate. Additional bandwidth charges will apply.

You can purchase directly from RackSpace and we receive a commission.

We’re experts at setting up RackSpace Cloud Servers, with extensive knowledge of every popular Linux distribution. See our competitive cloud server setup package.

Many people ask us, “Which web host is the best?” – or – “Which web host should I choose?” We use a website called HostJury to get an idea of how well a web hosting company is doing, but nothing beats real-world experience. We’ve tried many different web hosting providers, only one stands out above the rest. RackSpace has been a widely recognized name in this market for a very long time, their quality of customer service is definitely the best we’ve ever experienced, but most importantly they provide the best quality servers at the most competitive rates.

Keep in mind at all times, your servers are like the building your website resides in. If the door opens too slow, or isn’t big enough for the number of visitors you get, you will lose traffic.

If a website is slow or goes down every so often this is seen both by visitors and by search engines; The search engine notices and may lower your rank, actual people behave differently and could never click your link again, even if you do appear as number one in their search results. Imagine if enough people are searching your keywords and start skipping your site, or worse imagine if one of your accounts is breached (be it the web host, domain registrar, SEO tool, analytics, etc.). There’s no question why you aren’t getting the increase in traffic and/or sales you desire if the security and reliability of your set is not in constant check.

Hosting plays a vital part of any website, when everything is set up correctly the speed and reliability of a website will be determined by the careful selection and configuration of a web host and their server.

Factors that should play into your choice of web hosting providers are:

• Price per performance
• Reliability (actual average downtime, NOT uptime guarantee)
• Server specifications
• Ease of use
• Upgrading options (on RackSpace just a few clicks upgrades or even downgrades any server almost instantly).
• Backup options
