Experiences on Rackspace Cloud

Permalink
I have a few Concrete5 sites hosted on my Rackspace cloud sites account and they all seem to load pretty slow. Like 4-5 seconds slow. On my old shared hosting account they were less than 1 second.

So I'm curious to see what other peoples experiences are like. Are you still hosting with the Rackspace cloud, or do they suck and thus you switched somewhere else?

Did my post get missed, or is just nobody else hosting with Rackspace Cloud cause they suck! :)

I've hosted a handful of C5 sites on Rackspace Cloud sites and though through a lot of tweaking I was able to get load times faster. I still wasn't able to get the performance that was acceptable.

I love RackSpace's servers but I don't think that the Cloud Sites have the reliability that is required (not right now at-least).

I did some benchmark test and have moved almost all of our sites to HostGator and they all have had really good performance.
