Rackspace Acquires Jungle Disk

Two of my favorite companies are Rackspace (hosting) and Jungle Disk (online backup) are getting together with an announcement that Rackspace is acquiring Jungle Disk.

What does this have to do with affiliate marketing? Well, nothing. But I would recommend that any affiliate marketer check out both services.

I’ve had a managed server on Rackspace for years, and the customer service from them is unparalleled, or as they say, fanatical.

If you rely on cPanel, Rackspace is not for you (no cPanel, but you can use Plesk with them), but otherwise, I love everything else about them.

Similarly, I am hyper-concerned about having backups of my files, and I have a couple of local backups, but also have been using Jungle Disk for a while for an automatic backup that runs overnight to backup my stuff online.

I literally sleep easier at night knowing that I have Rackspace and Jungle Disk supporting my business, and that’s saying something, because I’ve had catastrophic data loss in the past, due to being hacked, as well as dopey mistakes.

Anyhow, congrats to Rackspace and Jungle Disk – nice to see.
