Do you charge for a stopped virtual machine?
A Qube in a stopped state will still reserve system resources (RAM, Storage, IP address, vCPU), so you will continue to be billed until the Qube is destroyed.
We also offer the option to Shelve an instance that will stop the Qube and archive the server. You will only be billed for the Qube storage and assigned IP address in this state if you wish to retain the use of the same IP.
