Rackspace's Email Price Hike Triggers Reseller Backlash
Rackspace is raising its email hosting prices, with partners like Laughing Squid reporting a 706% jump (plus new per-mailbox add-ons) and noting that discounts they previously had aren’t included; the hikes, effective March 2026, are drawing backlash from resellers who warn higher costs hurt margins and may push customers toward alternatives such as PolarisMail, while Rackspace defends the move as a necessity to maintain service levels amid industry shifts toward larger providers.
