Why is Rackspace hosting so expensive?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Rackspace offers Managed Dedicated Servers to it's customers.
This means you get your own custom computer/server that they manage on their end. Unlike shared hosting, no other website exists on this machine except for yours.
Rackspace will manage your server from all different kinds of angles. They will make sure your server is secure and locked down to prevent hackers and DDOS attacks from hurting you. They also help install, manage, and optimize services and databases that you choose (such as MySQL or Oracle.)
When you buy from Rackspace, your not just buying hosting space. Your getting a custom rig (2 to 8 cores an 4 to 128gb RAM) to host on, with them servicing it and the software you run on it.
