Excellent review @tbelldesignco and so incredibly well written as well.  I echo the thanks to @phoenixwolf as well.  Not only his contribution "in kind" but also active interest in the needs of shared hosters.

It's interesting that you should mention "optimized for smaller hosting packages" as it's something I've come across shared hosting off late. The specs have been reduced considerably for free shared hosting packages. Like a few years back we were provided with free hosting packages of as large as 5 GB disk space and more. Currently I see free packages only of 1 GB. I was totally intrigued when a host who is well known to LowendTalk - KuJoe - decreased his free hosting package to under 1 GB to 250 MB.  Then thinking about this afterwards I see sense in this, as at Gigarocket one rarely found hosted members who used more than 1 or 2 GB disk space.  Here are the specs that are on offer for KuJoe's free hosting package:

@phoenixwolf, BTW KuJoe's free hosting is also with DirectAdmin.  When I first signed up with him in 2016, he was running his free hosting off VestaCP. He was already unhappy with the license fees of cPanel at the time and exploring alternatives. That is how I landed with him, as I wanted to get experience on the user end of VestaCP.  When VestaCP ran into security issues during 2019 he started to look at alternatives for his free hosting packages and looks like he went for DirectAdmin.  I'm still on his VestaCP though but may have to change this year as he has plans to end VestaCP hosting.  If ever you want to connect up with KuJoe to share info about the ins and outs of DirectAdmin hosting, you can find him at Discord:

@deanhills yes! While developing and researching I found that trying to take those factors into consideration would help draw more customers to the software and making a variant that is docker compatible that is also minified would help developers with even small VPS specs to be able to enjoy what I am trying to offer. I am looking at hosting various assets over a CDN, as JS, CSS and even images can get quite hefty on a server so being able to off load essential assets to a server/service with unlimited bandwidth might be the way to go for items such as that.

Also thank you! It took me a little longer to formulate the post, but I wanted to make sure I really had time to play and tool around with everything that way I could give constructive feedback.
