Where do VMs run? DigitalOcean infrastructure across four regions (New York, London, Amsterdam, Singapore). Are stopped VMs billed? Yes. Stopped VMs reserve cloud resources and bill at full rate. Suspend to pay only image storage, or destroy to stop billing entirely. What if I run out of credits? Running machines are snapshotted and destroyed. Snapshots are retained — top up and recreate. Enable auto-topup to prevent this. What tools are pre-installed? TheDocumentation Index
