 ## Changing to a Different Server
 To switch to a different server type (e.g. one with more CPU cores, or with different team access), you first need to shutdown your existing server. To do this, select <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">file › hub control panel</span> from the menu bar and then click the <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">stop my server</span> button. Then, you can click the <span style="font-variant:small-caps;">start my server</span> button to launch a server of your choice.
 
+Note: when you're finished with work, you should also stop your server. This saves computational resources (and therefore expense) for STScI.

 ## A Detailed Description: How does this work?
 Users curious about how Jupyter works (and the history and motivation for a computational notebook) should start by reading the ["What is Jupyter?"](https://docs.jupyter.org/en/latest/what_is_jupyter.html) page.

 The virtual server that runs your personal instance of RSP will shut down after ~1 hour of inactivity; you can restart it the next time you access the platform.
 
-You can start and stop your computing server any time from the JupyterHub control panel, which can be accessed from the top menu in JupyterLab (<span style="font-variant:small-caps;">file › Hub Control Panel</span>) or the "Home" tab from JupyterHub pages. You might use this to, for example, clear unwanted changes to your Python environment.
