I'm a DigitalOcean client. You're pricing system is so fragmented than it's impossible to me to digest. Why not charge simply 5 euros and leave it like that, or use a pricing system easier to calculate. Me, as a client, I don't want to waste time calculating stuff for something that will account 20-30 euros monthly, just shot it, guys.

Our prices reflect what we are able to achieve at this time without economies of scale: Once we scale up, these prices will inevitably will come down.

I think he means the numbers on the pricing are weird and he finds it distracting when trying to choose a plan, not that the prices are too high. The first plan is £6, the next is £5 more, the next £10 more, the next £20 more, and the last £38 more. Where are £6 and £38 coming from? I believe he's suggesting just making it 5/10/20/40/80 or something like that.
