If I Purchase Only an International Traffic Package, How Will I Be Billed for Traffic Generated on the Chinese Mainland?

Traffic packages are region-specific. Traffic packages in a region cannot be used to deduct traffic generated in other regions.

  1. When the service area of a domain name is global:
    • If you purchase only a traffic package outside the Chinese mainland, the traffic generated when users in the Chinese mainland access the domain name is charged in pay-per-use mode (account balance is deducted). That is, CDN charges you based on the traffic used by your users to access CDN points of presence (PoPs). For details, see Price Calculator.
    • If you purchase only a traffic package in the Chinese mainland, the traffic fees generated when users outside the Chinese mainland access the domain name are also charged on a pay-per-use basis (account balance is deducted). The detailed rules are the same as those described above.
  2. When the service area of a domain name is the Chinese mainland:
    • You only need to purchase traffic packages in the Chinese mainland. Traffic packages outside the Chinese mainland cannot be used.
  3. When the service area of a domain name is outside the Chinese mainland:
    • You only need to purchase traffic packages outside the Chinese mainland. Traffic packages in the Chinese mainland cannot be used.
