+5 to adding an easy to use, easy to do ... option to have separate database servers, Load Balancer, high availability ...
Yes! to simplicity, but that doesn't mean you can't add complex features while making them simpler and easier to use for the "masses" :).
Take these complex aspects of hosting and make them into simple to configure, deploy & manage solutions - just like what you did so far with single VPS. Then you would have a better alternative to the do it yourself self-manage solutions out there. Clouways would open up using this advance architecture to everyone. And this is certainly matching perfectly the your current customer profile. That would be a crazy competitive advantage in the space.
Keep in mind that the customers that go VPN route are not the Wordpress.com build your own blog type or $1.99 shared hosting. Are more advanced and with higher requirements and expectations when it comes to hosting.
While you can boot with a simple solution many will get to a point where they learn about and will want these options. Now its up to you if you want to retain these customers or are fine to have a big hole in the bucket so to say.
Cheers!

If we wouldn't have to rename them manually would be better. Why not update/sync the name to the current CNAME or the app name?

Beside AWS, would be even better to have multiple options for common cloud storage solutions like Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive... And just as we can choose currently to put a local backup copy we could directly have it saved on lets say Dropbox or Glacier instead of FTPing in.
On top of it an alert system for failing (optional successful) backup jobs would be good to have in place.

Agree. We need a better way to do this things. How about being able to create a new server and assign the IP from an existing server if desired?
