New customer here. I would like to create multiple droplets and i have question on billing. Do i get billed on droplets that are NOT powered ON? I'm trying to do some POC and I just need the other droplets for testing. THANK YOU

    Yes. Your diskspace, CPU, RAM, and IP address are all reserved while your droplet 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.

Yes you do get charged for powered off droplets because its reserving your space,ip,etc. If you wish, create a snapshot then destroy the droplet and then restore it later when you need it.

It’s not make sense. Why are DO reserved these CPU and memory on me ? Where is the Cloud ? Give these resource to another user.
