"Hibernation"/IP reservation mode

Currently the user is still billed for shut down droplets because of the reserved resources. But on the other hand, when creating a snapshot and destroying the droplet, the IP can get lost.

I think it makes sense to offer a new mode where a snapshot is created and the droplet destroyed but the IP address(es) still reserved. This mode would then free up RAM, CPU and disk resources but keep the IP.

I think this mode could cost a reduced price like $ 0.001 per hour.

    Amazon highlight the Hibernate option when signing up for Cloud9. Perhaps a similar developer-focused option would encourage more use.
