Cloud Server Billing Mode Description

I. Billing Modes

1. Annual/Monthly Subscription

Prepay-then-use model, with fixed resources. Purchasing on an annual or monthly basis offers a relatively large price discount, helping you save costs to a greater extent. The term is fixed, avoiding the risk of suspension caused by forgetting or being unable to renew in time. You can choose [Bandwidth-based Billing] or [Traffic-based Billing].

Note: It cannot be changed to a [Pay-by-Time] plan.

2. Pay-by-Time

Use-then-pay model, billed by hourly usage, with daily deductions. When activating, the account balance must be greater than 100 yuan. Resources can be activated and released on demand, offering greater flexibility and suitable for temporary use scenarios. The cumulative cost is relatively higher than the average usage cost of Annual/Monthly Subscription. It can be converted to the [Annual/Monthly Subscription] mode with [Bandwidth-based Billing].

Note: [Pay-by-Time] does not support [Traffic-based Billing].

II. Network Billing

1. Bandwidth-based Billing

Choose fixed peak bandwidth billing; only the maximum bandwidth used is limited, and traffic is unlimited. Suitable for regular applications with fixed bandwidth and long-term use.

Note: It cannot be converted to [Traffic-based Billing] mode.

2. Traffic-based Billing

Postpaid method, billed according to traffic used. The system settles billing every hour and deducts fees uniformly the next day. If the account balance is insufficient, you will be notified in advance. Suitable for scenarios where bandwidth usage is usually low but intermittent network access peaks occur. The account must maintain a sufficient balance. If the balance is insufficient, you will be notified in advance. If the balance is still insufficient when settling the fees, the network will be temporarily disconnected.

Note: It can be upgraded to [Bandwidth-based Billing] mode.
