Yearly/Monthly Billing

Concept

Yearly/Monthly is a prepaid billing mode and is cost-effective for long-term use.

For more billing information, see Yearly/Monthly Billing.

Note the following when using a yearly/monthly ECS:

  1. A created yearly/monthly ECS cannot be deleted. If such an ECS is not required any more, unsubscribe it. To do so, switch to the Elastic Cloud Server page, locate the target ECS, and choose More > Unsubscribe in the Operation column.
  2. A detached system disk can be used as a data disk for any ECSs, but can only be used as a system disk for the ECS where it was attached before.
  3. A detached data disk that is purchased together with an ECS can only be used as a data disk for this ECS.
