"Small business tier service for Cloud sites"
Offer a smaller Sites service - same managed service but less resources.
We are feeling the downturn and only use a small % of Sites resources. Being asked to cut budgets and maybe move server

Guys, this ask is being re-evaluated at the moment. There is no estimated date for this smaller tier offering at this time. We will report back if the decision to offer this changes.

The current pricing seems ok considering the available resources when compared with dedicated hosting or many shared hosting environments but what would be good and what seems to be the gist of many comments is that it would be great to be able to create a separate account cheaply to segment certain clients. Or the ability to use the one cloud account to create sub accounts, ie reseller for particular clients or other developers or testing environments etc.

Aww man...
We've been waiting for this with great anticipation. Yes there are resellers. But then we stake our business on some random guy on his own who will hopefully keep stuff running for us. I could sell my organization on even $80/month for a third of what the current package has direct from you guys.

Guys, I offer "smaller" plans of the RackSpace Cloud sites hosting. 10 domains. 2GB storage. Doesn't matter about the rest (you won't go over) for only $29.80 per month (20% of the regular price). You get your own account and login, FTP, database management. It's perfect for most businesses/customers. Contact me via my website: markacutt.com.

This is something which I really need. I am small site owner. Paying a $149 is too much for me. A smaller package with $50 will be perfect for a lot of site owner like me.
Please let us know when you guys want to do it.

A small package would be great. When do you guys plan on having this completed by, as I see that the status on this project is labeled started.

A scaled down version with a price range of $30-$50 will be awesome. We were looking at CloudSites but $149 is too much. Will likely go for Cloud Servers even though we will have to rough it out a little.
Please launch this plan soon.

dissatisfied with my current web host. Will likely jump to Cloud Sites once there's a smaller package available. Looking forward to any info on when this will happen!

What is better is to make it a pay as you go only service like cloud files.
