    I believe you are looking for the same type of service and network uptime that Rackspace offers. I can recommend you to try http://www.servint.net. I have used them and they have excellent support round the clock. I believe they will beat the server offering that Rackspace is offering, and they provide management service.

    Are you looking for a provider that offers cloud hosting?

    well rackspace have great uptime that si pretty close to 100% but not 100% they too had few instance of downtime in the past.

    To myknowledge you can't get such servers but there price are too high. One have to look the cost Versus benefit. There server have high value for hosting bank sites, big corporate and were even a second downtime will cause huge loss.

    But for meduium size ecommerce site you should be wasting money with rackspace were the benefit you get is not at par the price you pay. so look for pretty close alternative.

    I think no one will be able to have 100% uptime in the long term future.

    Rackspace is great but the price is a bit too high for me. I'll stay with hivelocity as for virtual private servers.

    I use The Rackspace Cloud (have used them for almost a year, started back when they were still known as Mosso), and I've been VERY happy with it.. There are occasional hiccups, but support always seems to be on top of things.

    I was able to ditch my expensive dedicated server at ThePlanet, and save about $80/mo in the process! (If anyone wants more info, feel free to PM me)
