How Rackspace can keep Slicehost awesome
Extracted from an email I sent my contact at Rackspace, here are the things I love about Slicehost that I hope Rackspace maintains:
1. Self serve sizing on the fly. I can move from one plan to another automatically online and the only change to my environment are the resources available and the bill at the end of the month.
2. Self serve, unlimited free server wipes and reinstallation. Was more of an issue early on, but knowing I have a reset button is great. The last straw with my previous host was when they tried to charge me for this and I knew Slicehost would do it for free.
3. Root access and Ubuntu Hardy. It's a wonderful thing.
4. Really great documentation. Baby steps instructions for locking down and setting up your environment that are the best I've ever used. "PickledOnion" is a particularly gifted technical writer.

All of those things will stay, I promise. And even more goodies planned.
PickledOnion is my HERO. If he leaves ... well ... I can't even think about that.
