Rackspace acquire Slicehost

Let's hope they don't do to Slicehost what they did to Webmail.us after acquiring them. If they do, you can expect huge increases in prices and a focus more on corporate/"big" clients.

  you can expect huge increases in prices[...]

We cut the prices of our 2GB and larger slice offerings, along with announcing IP failover, and removing the mandatory 3-month prepayment on signup.

[edit]

Oh, and cause we keep forgetting to announce it. If you have private IP addresses on any of your slices, new slices will automatically get built with a private IP.

Yup, congrats. I just subscribed (3 days ago) and I have big hopes from you guys. Keep it up :)

LE: Also, if I may... the tone of the FAQ is a bit corporate. I don't think it's the right approach with your target. Ex:

How does this acquisition affect Slicehost customers

Our number one goal is to continue delivering the Slicehost experience. In fact, we hope to make it even better.

It's a very nice answer, and contains zero information. Just saying :)

Any chance you could double the storage limits for the smaller slices?

We don't have any plans to change the plans right now.
