Prepaid Traffic Packages

Scenarios

If you choose traffic-based billing when enabling CDN and your site will generate a large volume of traffic, you are advised to buy traffic packages of appropriate specifications to save money.

Purchase

• Log in to the CDN console. In the navigation pane, choose Resource Packages, click Buy Package on the right, and buy traffic packages. For details about the prices, see Pricing Details.
• For details about how to view the purchased traffic packages, see Resource Package Management.

Notes

1. Traffic packages can be used only when traffic-based billing is used.
2. If you purchase multiple traffic packages, the traffic quota increases but the validity period is not extended. The traffic package with the earliest expiration date is used first.
3. A traffic package will automatically expire when it reaches the end of its validity period, and any remaining traffic in the package can no longer be used. Traffic consumed beyond the package will be billed on a pay-per-use basis.
4. A package can be used only by the buyer account.
5. If you change traffic-based billing to another billing option, your purchased packages will be frozen until the billing option is changed back to the traffic-based billing.
