Because you have to pay for stopped instances. That’s why I snapshot and restore. It’s the same with all VPS providers (at least the reliable ones I know)

- cperciva 4y agoYou're only paying for their disks. Admittedly it's more expensive than snapshot-and-restore, but it's much cheaper than leaving the instance running.
- nstart 4y agoYeesht. I had never tried this out with AWS so I had just completely made assumptions about their stopped instance pricing. Thanks for the correction. At the same time, the pricing is rough. Instances with similar configs cost anywhere between 3-7x the price. My current bill of between 2 to 3 USD a month would go up to about 15-25 USD. In absolute terms that's not big but over the months that is going to add up. Still. Food for thought for me. Thanks again :)
