Rackspace Hosting, Inc. 5000 Walzem Road San Antonio, Texas 78218 April 9, 2012 Dear Stockholder: Due to a clerical error, the proxy card previously provided to you for the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to take place on Wednesday, May 2, 2012, was printed incorrectly with respect to the election of directors to our Board of Directors. Election of directors requires a majority vote of the stockholders for each director seat, not a plurality vote as was set forth on the previously provided proxy card. The majority vote requirement was correctly disclosed in our proxy statement and proxy card filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2012. We have included a revised proxy card with this letter. Please complete, sign and return the revised proxy card in the postage-paid envelope provided to submit your vote on all proposals; you may also follow the simple instructions indicated on the proxy card to vote via the Internet or by phone. If you have not yet voted, please discard the previously provided proxy card and use the enclosed revised proxy card to vote your shares. Even if you have already voted, please return the enclosed revised proxy card so that your votes can be properly counted. Upon our receipt of your vote using the revised proxy card, any vote you executed using the prior proxy card will be disregarded. Also, please note, the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders included in our proxy statement erroneously stated the annual stockholder meeting is on Tuesday, May 2, 2012. The annual stockholder meeting is on Wednesday, May 2, 2012 as stated elsewhere in the proxy statement and on the proxy card. As always, your vote is important, and we appreciate your attention to this matter. We apologize for any inconvenience. Sincerely,
Alan Schoenbaum Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary San Antonio, Texas
