Why are funds being deducted for shut-off Virtual Machines?

Charges for powered-off Virtual Machines apply only to reserved resources, which remain allocated even when the machine is stopped. These include:

  • SSD and HDD storage (based on volume size);
  • External IP addresses;
  • Personal VLANs;
  • Reserved PCI-Express devices (available only for GPU servers).

Please note that vCPU and RAM are not billed while the Virtual Machine is powered off.

Important: To avoid charges for inactive machines, learn how to stop paying for a Virtual Machine that is currently not in use.
