Will costs continue when I shutdown my VPS?

Hello,

When you shut down an EC2 instance in AWS, you will no longer incur compute usage costs for that instance.

The best way to completely stop all costs for a stopped EC2 instance is to:

• Detach and delete any EBS volumes
• Disassociate any Elastic IP addresses
• Terminate the instance itself after shutting it down

Remember you should delete all these resources only if they are not being used anymore.

Thanks

Hello.

When it comes to EC2, you can stop the charges for the EC2 instance itself by stopping it.
However, please note that fees such as EBS fees and Elastic IP addresses attached to EC2 will be incurred.

Stopping — As soon as the state of an instance changes to shutting-down or terminated, charges are no longer incurred for the instance. You are not charged for usage or data transfer fees for a stopped instance. Charges are incurred to store Amazon EBS storage volumes.

When you say VPS i Assume you mean VPC.

To stop being charged you need to stop and terminate/delete any un-needed resources in your account.

As for your VPC, then you get charged for the majority of services in the VPC, but VPC's do not cost anything for having subnets, DHCP options, Internet Gateway.

Other resources such as VPC Endpoints, NAT Gateways etc are chargable.

So if you shrink/remove all resources apart from the basic stuff then you will not be charged.
