Since I started <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stephenpickering.com\/2009\/08\/26\/im-re-selling-rackspace-cloud-sites\/\">re selling Rackspace Cloud Sites last summer<\/a>, I&#8217;ve had lots of inqueries, some of which have become customers, some of which have not, but all have asked good questions, questions that many times I would have to call Rackspace Techs or Ping <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/ckeck\">Chad Keck<\/a> or <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/kr8tr\">Rob La Gesse<\/a> on Twitter to answer.<\/p>\n<p>I just realized, &#8220;Why have I not been writing all these down to build an FAQ page?&#8221; Well, I&#8217;m going to do just that. I&#8217;ll start with these most recent two inqueries, and then maybe I&#8217;ll dig through my email and find the rest and slowly add to the page, or just start from scratch and start documenting fresh questions as they come in.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Q: We have been looking at your basic rack space package &amp; wonder if you could clear up how many separate domains we could host? Is it one domain per package or a set amount?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: You can put as many domains as you want on there, and I would only charge you extra if you&#8217;re account as a whole exceeded the limits. (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.stephenpickering.com\/rackspace-cloud-sites\/\">Here are the plans and the amounts for overages.<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>(Here&#8217;s a good one! Solid, basic, and to the point!)<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Q: Are you still reselling rackspace cloud sites?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A: Yes!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Q: If I start off with the basic plan and find its not big enough, can I move up to an advanced plan without taking my site off line?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: Yes, I can change your plan without it affecting your site. I just click on your site, change the plan that&#8217;s applied to it, and that&#8217;s it. Nothing touches your site or database.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>Q: How big are the mailboxes?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>A: The\u00a0mailboxes are 1GB each standard. I was just told by Rackspace they can\u00a0be increased to 3GB upon special request, and they said it&#8217;s no\u00a0additional charge.<\/p>\n<p>Well, those are 4 good solid questions to start things off with. I&#8217;ll add them to my FAQ page now, and continue building it as things roll along.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Q: \u00a0Hi, \u00a0I saw that you are reselling couldsites for Rackspace. I&#8217;m interested. I have three or four websites right now. I&#8217;d like each of these to have its own public IP address. Is this possible with your hosting?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A: Unfortunately no. With Cloud Sites, the ip address given is the ip for the server and not just the domain in question.
