Are you sure?

AWS was one of the most expensive ones, Rackspace was cheaper

Back in 2009/2010 when I was looking into it AWS was half the price for a roughly equivalent instance.

Did you run any benchmarks? Because I was looking at both during the same timeframe and Rackspace offered about 20-30% more 'operations'/dollar in our case.

Looking at their site it seems now what they do is resell AWS/Azure/Google offers, which is weird (and dedicated servers, which was what they always did)
