I’m using droplet for the first time and it is for my wordpress site. Tt says its better to turn off your droplet for sometime when you take a snapshot. I’m so worried that it may cause any problem for the normal running of my wordpress site after turning on.

Hi @ShahanadVs,
Turning off our droplet shouldn’t cause any issues with your website. Your website is like a program on your droplet. Image turning off your Laptop, it doesn’t break any of the programs, it exists them the normal way. The same can be said for the turning off of your droplet.
After you’ve done the snapshot, starting the droplet should be the only thing you would need to do to have everything back up and running as it’s supposed to.
