+# Phase 5 — Decommission InMotion VPS
+
+> Part of [[Migration Plan — InMotion to Local + AWS Offsite]].
+> **After** sites are live locally (Phase 4 = CMS migration, separate project). Do not run early.
+
+## Goal
+Retire the ~100 AUD/mo InMotion VPS once nothing depends on it.
+
+## Sub-steps
+- [ ] Confirm all 5–6 sites served by `.13` behind Caddy `.35` and DNS final A-records → static IP.
+- [ ] Migrate any remaining InMotion cron jobs → local systemd timers on `.13` (covered by CMS project).
+- [ ] **Backup the VPS one final time** (full dump → local staging → AWS offsite) before cancelling.
+- [ ] Cancel InMotion / disable auto-renew.
+- [ ] Verify no mail MX or site depend on InMotion anymore.
+- [ ] Log final cost saving (expected ~50–70 AUD/mo net) in [[Migration Work Log]].
+
+## Acceptance criteria
+- InMotion cancelled; all live traffic local; no dangling DNS/MX.
+- Burn-down recovery path verified from AWS offsite.
