Not sure if this is the right place to ask the question, but there doesn't seem to be an "askgeeks" or something.

I'm assuming you're talking about some individual VPC that you're paying for and not using. If you don't do anything with it in a week then just shut it down after downloading a disk image.

It's a sporadically active server for friends and family. They access it maybe a few times a day and it's the cheapest VPS I could find. So shutting down is not an option atm.
