Outstanding Support During a Complex Server Migration
I recently worked with the InterServer support team on a server migration involving multiple domains, websites, databases, email accounts, SSL certifi...
cates, and third-party integrations. Before discussing the migration itself, it's worth noting that I have been a satisfied InterServer customer for more than 15 years. That longevity speaks for itself and is one of the reasons I trusted them with this migration. Sandra and Rahul were both extremely helpful throughout the process. The migration itself was handled professionally, and when I uncovered an issue during post-migration testing, the team stayed engaged and continued working through them until everything was functioning correctly. What stood out to me was that they didn't simply complete the migration and close the ticket. They worked with me through the validation process, investigated the issues I found, made the necessary adjustments, and communicated clearly throughout the process. As someone who manages and develops my own sites, I performed extensive testing after the migration, including website functionality, databases, uploads, email services, SSL certificates, and API integrations. The support team remained responsive and helpful until every item I tested was working properly. The migration was completed successfully, and I was very satisfied with the level of support I received. Sandra and Rahul both did an excellent job, and I appreciate the time and effort they invested in making sure the transition was completed correctly. After more than 15 years as a customer, experiences like this are a big reason I continue to use InterServer. Based on my experience, I would not hesitate to recommend them to others looking for reliable hosting backed by a responsive and capable support team.

How Rackspace grounded our company to halt…
After being with Rackspace for 15 years our company was by Rackspace stated “hacked via ransomeware” we were never a witness to this but in December o...
f 2022 our systems went down. At the time we had 2 dozen companies on a guaranteed Exchange account that we were charged by Rackspace a $150 a month for our reseller agreement. After the system was down for days we were offered a last minute deal to transfer all our accounts to Microsoft directly to handle an immediate recovery. We were told that we would be charged “$0” for this until the system was restored completely. After the months of recovery, we were told we could have Rackspace and Microsoft install Microsoft Office suite with the Microsoft to resolve the current issues. They ended up added hundreds of accounts to our system and then informed us 2 months later that we now owe Rackspace almost $3500 a month. After dozens of calls and emails to Rackspace they closed our all our email accounts for the dozens of companies that we manage. Because of the lack of support and their inability to correct the issue and to not upgrade our account or migrate them correctly. We waited months with limited communications, the accounts that were affected and then Rackspace shut down our accounts again. During this time I migrated all our accounts and closed all accounts except for the main account because I was still waiting for backup. We did not use or create email accounts with those licenses. I reached out to customer support again, I've followed up with support monthly and being told that I need to pay an insane fee to correct the account and no one ever did. I was finally contacted by the CFO of Rackspace after several emails... and was informed that the mistake was made by them and would be corrected immediately. After all the mixups, and finally getting through to the CFO of Rackspace I was promised that Rackspace would pay our company $3323.33 and provide us an apology. “now I’m getting back from Rackspace that there is no money to be paid our company and no apology for their inability to manage or mismanage all of our accounts!” At this point I would like to give Rackspace a huge “F” for Service and Support. I as A Microsoft Certified System Engineer, and a Cisco Certified Network Professional know Rackspace used to be a creditable source for hosting by reputable companies, but now am so disappointed to say that is definitely not the case any more. I highly encourage all companies and individuals to avoid Rackspace at all cost for any reason or project and if you’re currently using Rackspace I recommend that you start looking into changing hosting solutions.

very disappointing experience with InterServer
I had a very disappointing experience with InterServer. I paid for two separate accounts, but after requesting cancellation for only one of them, b...
oth accounts were closed without my consent. I never asked for the second account to be canceled, and suddenly I lost access to a service I had already paid for. What is even more frustrating is the lack of proper communication and support. Instead of resolving the issue, I was left without clear answers or a solution. I requested to escalate the matter and speak with a manager, but this was not properly addressed. This situation feels unprofessional and unfair. Closing a paid account without explicit permission is not acceptable, especially when it affects business operations. I hope the company improves its customer support and internal processes, as this experience was very disappointing.
