It is the server I use for my secure shopping cart for my ecommerce sites. I have used them for many years, and they are great, just very expensive. But, I have never had any problems with them, which is why they charge so much. Their support is great. Yes, I actually have 1 server with Rackspace.com.

Assistanz did more than just manage my servers though, they also provided tech support for me to fix my sites, and also handled a help desk support site I setup for users having problems on my various sites.

Some sites were prone to crashing so I did not want to put them on the same server as my other more important sites, so I would put them on a server by themselves. I used 9 servers just for 1 big image hosting site, where 8 servers hosted the images and one main server was used to run the site. Also, some servers I used just for databases. Part of the cost is also bandwidth. Each server comes with an allotted amount of bandwidth, so having a lot of servers gave me a lot of bandwidth. If I had used 5 servers instead of 50, I would have then had to pay a bunch extra for extra bandwidth, so it was just as easy to pay for extra servers instead.
