I see that you disagree with the parent comment. I would like to know why. Could you provide some details as well?

Not the op, but, if you pay me $5/month for a VPS, and you never do anything but let it sit idle because you forgot about it, and you don’t notice that you’re still paying me $5 / month… how exactly does that make me evil?

[wolverine876]

Because you are taking money for nothing? How is that the right thing to do?

> evil

A bit of a strawperson

How do you know its doing nothing? I have a couple VPSes I have sitting idle for my disaster recovery scenario.

Yes, it depends on the situation - the service, what the vendor knows about usage, etc. Sometimes you know, sometimes you don't.
