The Rackspace Cloud’s all about making your life easier. One way we do that is handling all of the IP address hassles behind the scenes. Cloud Sites™ actually hosts your website on multiple IP addresses on multiple servers – so you don’t have one unique IP address tied to your website. This logic is built right into our load balancing layer and ensures that if a server with a particular IP address fails, any one of the other servers is able to serve your website content.
