Why Businesses Migrate from Rackspace to Microsoft 365
Rackspace is a reliable hosting provider, but Microsoft 365 offers a dramatically richer productivity platform for modern businesses.
Full Office App Suite
Microsoft 365 includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Teams, and OneDrive. Rackspace is email only — no productivity suite.
Microsoft Teams
Replace disparate chat and video tools with a single integrated platform. Rackspace has no Teams equivalent.
1TB OneDrive Storage
Every Microsoft 365 user gets 1TB of OneDrive cloud storage. Rackspace Email includes only email storage.
Better Value
Microsoft 365 Business Basic at $6/user/month includes email, Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive — more than Rackspace Email for similar cost.
Advanced Security
Microsoft Defender, Advanced Threat Protection, and enterprise-grade compliance tools that Rackspace email hosting does not offer.
Microsoft Ecosystem Integration
SharePoint, Azure AD, Power Automate, and hundreds of connectors make Microsoft 365 the hub for your entire business.
Both Rackspace Products Supported
We migrate from both Rackspace email platforms — standard and Hosted Exchange.
Rackspace Email
Rackspace's standard business email product (webmail, POP3/IMAP). We migrate everything it stores.
Rackspace Hosted Exchange
Rackspace's Exchange-based product. Richer data = richer migration to Microsoft 365.

Rackspace Migration Reviews
From customers who migrated from Rackspace to Microsoft 365
"Moved 38 Rackspace Email mailboxes to Microsoft 365 over a weekend. Monday morning everyone was in Outlook as if nothing changed. Emails, contacts, calendars — all there. The team was responsive throughout."
"We were on Rackspace Hosted Exchange for 10 years and the thought of migrating terrified us. Workspace Migration did the whole thing in under 48 hours. Zero issues. We now have Teams, OneDrive — it's a completely different experience."
"Our 14-person team was scattered across Rackspace Email and a shared Exchange server. Workspace Migration consolidated everything into one clean Microsoft 365 tenant. SPF/DKIM were a mess before — now perfectly configured. Highly recommend."
