Should Cloudways Introduce Add-ons That Empower "Retail-Level" Developers?
As more independent developers and small agencies adopt cloud hosting, it raises an important question how can platforms like Cloudways better support these "retail-level" users compared to larger enterprises or teams?
Retail users often face resource limits, budget constraints, and lack of dedicated DevOps support, yet their needs for scalability, performance, and flexibility are just as real.
Would it be possible for Cloudways to launch add-ons tailored specifically to smaller users like simplified monitoring, cost optimization tools, or modular scalability options?
What features would help solo devs or small shops compete with institutional setups without being overwhelmed by complexity?
Also, could there be pricing add-ons or usage-based models that align with growth instead of upfront commitments?
I'm curious how others view this do we need more tools designed with retail investors in mind, but for cloud hosting?

Yes, just like outlined here https://pearllemoninvest.com/the-advantages-of-being-a-retail-investor-vs-an-institutional-investor/ giving more flexibility and support to smaller players could set Cloudways apart.
