Rackspace Email Alternative
Rackspace Email Users
There’s a Better Way.
If you’re a Rackspace Email customer, you’ve likely already heard the news: mailbox pricing has dramatically jumped from $3 to $10 per month/per mailbox.
For a small business with 20 mailboxes, that’s an increase from $60/month to $200/month—an extra $1,680 per year.
That’s just Ridiculous, Right??
We at USA Boxmail think so too, and we are here to help.
