On a related note, I asked Rackspace what it would take to transfer my VPS image in the event I sold my company. They told me that transferring an image to another customer was not possible. This was about 3 years ago. Are any other VPS providers more friendly about transferring disk images between accounts?
I've found Rackspace to be super unhelpful the moment you make a request that isn't either in their interests (e.g. "can we have another server and pay you more please") or falls outside of what they would normally do. Other VPS providers I've used since have been infinitely more flexible and helpful, including transferring disk images.
It is really easy on Digital Ocean. On Rackspace it is theoretically possible but you have to "self-serve" with the API apparently and it is a %{#+{^#]#{## from start to finish.
