Public Cloud, Private Cloud or Hybrid?
Private Cloud
Built on dedicated Virtual Servers running VMWare and protected by your dedicated Rackspace Firewall, our managed private clouds are a more secure and reliable approach to Public Clouds. They are designed to provide you with the best of both cloud and managed hosting and make cost-efficient scaling a practical reality. Find out more about Private Cloud
Public Cloud
Cloud Hosting is computation or storage offered as a service supported by a pool of distributed computing resources, also known as utility computing or grid computing. Cloud Hosting provides the sharing and management of large amounts of distributed data. It represents the ultimate in scalability for unpredictable demands.

Hybrid Hosting
Rackspace Hosting not only has both traditional managed hosting solutions and newer cloud hosting solutions but we also offer hybrid solutions, enabling you to benefit from the best of both types of hosting.
We know that for some things you just have to have a dedicated server, for security or stability reasons. For others traffic is more spikey and less predictable and so you don't want to have to pay for what you don't need all the time. It's just not cost effective. The beauty of a hybrid solution means you can have the best of both worlds! Find out more about Hybrid Hosting
