@jac Let’s click “Enable Backups”. This way, you don’t need to worry about it, and they are very cheap.

Even though it won’t be using that backup anymore?

What I’m saying is if I won’t be using it I don’t want to pay for it .

As in realistically my County forum is finished unfortunately.

Would that not be the same as the backup I downloaded?

@jac If you don’t want to pay for it anymore, then you’ll need to power off and delete the instance also. Hetzner will still charge you for a powered-off instance, and the only way to stop that charge is to delete.

@jac No. This is just the backup for the domain itself. Backup at server level means you can recover the entire machine.

I understand mate…

That may be the best option until I come up with something else, do you think?

Ah I see. thanks Mark .

@jac agreed. Particularly if you intend to leave it for an extended period of time, then yes, that makes the most sense. Just remember that if you do decide to embark on that same journey again, the server itself, plus Webmin, Virtualmin, etc, all has to be created from scratch.

Thanks for the advice.

Unfortunately yes, I think that would be the best solution.

A blog & forum about Stockport may be hard to do possibly in terms of content, & a church based website and forum could get messy it just depends how it was done.

If it’s for a single church then it wouldn’t work out in my eyes, it would have to be for anyone to view.

Ok, what’s the scenario to shut my account down? do I still need to take a full backup via Hetzner?

Either that or a tech forum & blog. The idea of something local to me like a Stockport blog would be good but getting hold of information would be difficult.

@jac No, you can simply power down and delete the machine.

Delete & power off? is there anything else I would need to do before I do this mate?

It’s Wordpress OUT, and Ghost IN it seems! *preference based .

Even County’s site uses Wordpress . Although that does serve it’s purpose.
