Our Story
We’ve been doing this for a while. Until recently, our services were focused on the managed hosting needs of the business world. We never considered opening our NOC and services to smaller markets or individuals. However, the explosive growth of hosted applications, web frameworks and open source software brought colleagues to us searching for solutions. There were plenty of fly-by-night operations that would take their money and cram them onto an oversold box, but they wanted more. So we built our own management system around a cutting edge virtualization project, expanded our NOC and opened the doors.
Slicehost brings the experiences, high expectations and support demands of business hosting to the consumer market. We aim to please developers – people who know their stuff. People who write software, build servers and get things done. If you’re new to web applications and hosting in general, we’re probably not the best choice for you. If you want the cheapest price, go to any of the volume driven web hosts with outsourced support. But if you know what needs to be done and want a host who will help you get there, you’re in the right place.
Our Team
The Slicehost founders and team are technical enthusiasts. We debate distributions, defend computer languages and would fight to the death for certain IDEs. We view our work as a balance of engineering logic and artistic passion. Thankfully, we love every minute of it. BTW – we’re hiring.
In October 2008 we were acquired by Rackspace, one of the largest and most respected hosting companies in the world. Slicehost is now a wholly owned subsidiary of Rackspace Hosting Inc.
