Hi,
since two years I am using the Turnkey hub for saving and and checking the backups of my websites. In this time, I paid normally less than 50 Cent per month for that. This is a really good price. But now Amazon charges me with a monthly fee of $10 for the cloud service. This is much more than the cost for a regular server space.
Is there a way to use the Turnkey hub without this the monthly Amazon fee?
Best regards.

Are you only using TKLBAM backups?
If you aren't running any servers then you should be able to cancel the Pay-per-use plan (which is $10/mth). Log into your Hub account. Click "EC2 Accounts" (roughly in the middle, top right of page). Click "Cancel" next to "Pay-per-use" plan. Then follow the "Cancel service on Amazon Payments" instructions in the pop-up. Obviously make sure you don't cancel TKLBAM if you wish to continue using it.
Sometimes I need to test my backups on a server.
Thank you for this information. Unfortunately I have to test my backups sometimes on a server. I do this once a month in order to be sure that they work properly on the Turnkey hub. If I wouldn't use a server, I couldn't be sure about that.
I think you can run one Micro server free
(Just pay Amazon charges...) Another option is to test on a local VM... The third option OTTOMH is that the $10/mth is pro rata so you could cancel it and just enable it when you want to test and then cancel it again straight after.
