You delete the linode after you save/backup its disk image. When you need it - you create/restore the vm from the stored image/backup. That is the way to go about it. Another alternative is to use powerful vm instance when needed, change it to the cheapest one when not in use. Tomas On Fri,

How do you define 'not running'? With linode, if you power down the node but not delete it, it is still be charged. On Fri, Jan 8, 2021 at 1:54 PM Bill Barry wrote: > On Fri, Jan 8, 2021 at 2:22 PM Eric House wrote: > > > > I've been using Linode for a few years (since SpiritOne got hijacked)

I am also on Linode. But I have friends on AWS. Sure, the AWS mainline dashboard is confusing, however everyone I know use the Lightsail series of VPS nodes. They apparently are far easier to provision and understand. On Fri, Jan 8, 2021 at 12:36 PM wes wrote: > what has your experience with
