Hello, If I make a droplet offline ( not destroy it ) do I need to still do the payment for that?
Thanks

Hello and Thanks Alex! I will do it.

Hi, @Sam80
When you power off your droplet it is simply powered off. Your disk space and data is still there and is preserved.
Keep in mind that you are still billed for droplets that are powered off becase your diskspace, CPU, RAM, and IP address are all reserved while it is powered off. If you want to save a Droplet for future use take a snapshot of it and then destroy it. You’ll be able to create a new Droplet from the snapshot image anytime to bring it back online.
Hope that this helps! Regards, Alex
