Billing FAQ

Will I Be Billed If My Domain Name Is Under Attack?

Yes. The consumed traffic or bandwidth will be billed. For details, see Billing Items.

If a domain name is under attack and the attacks affect other CDN users or pose risks to CDN, CDN will ban the domain name, change its status to Disabled, and disable the acceleration service for it. The domain name cannot be accessed but its configuration is retained. When the attack stops, contact customer service to unban the domain name.

  To ensure the integrity of statistics and accuracy of bills, a bill is usually generated after a billing cycle ends. For details, see Billing Options. Therefore, the bill time is later than the time when resources are consumed, so you cannot check the real-time resource consumption through bills. This is due to the distributed architecture of CDN PoPs. This method is widely used.
