Prepaid WSA Traffic Packages

Scenarios

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

Prerequisites

You have enabled WSA.

Purchase

  • Log in to the console. In the Resource Packages area on the right of the page, click Buy (if you have purchased a package before) or Buy Resource Package (if no package is available). For details about the prices, see Product Pricing Details.
  • For details about how to view the purchased traffic packages, see Resource Package Management.

Billing Details

Specifications: 500 GB to 1 PB

Validity period: 1 year

Conversion rule: 1 GB = 1,024 MB

Payment: one-off payment. You can specify packages to take effect immediately or at a specific time (within half a year after purchase). Packages cannot be unsubscribed from.

Deduction: Your traffic package is used first if you have one. Traffic consumed beyond the package will be billed on a pay-per-use basis. Traffic deducted from a package will not be counted during tiered pricing.

Billing item: traffic generated when users access domain names whose Service Type is Whole site.

Billing cycle: an hour. Traffic used in an hour will be deducted from a traffic package 4 hours later.

Usage scope: Chinese mainland or separate regions outside the Chinese mainland. Traffic packages in a region can be used to deduct only fees of traffic generated in this region. For details about the regions, see Charging Regions Outside the Chinese Mainland.

Notes

  1. Traffic packages can be used only when traffic-based billing is used.
  2. For domain names with the Global service area, buy separate traffic packages for each region if you need to deduct traffic generated in different regions.

    Example: A customer purchases a 200 TB Chinese mainland traffic package. The customer has a domain name whose service area is Global. This traffic package can be used to deduct traffic generated by PoPs in the Chinese mainland, but cannot be used to deduct traffic generated by other PoPs.

  3. Buying multiple traffic packages increases the traffic quota but does not extend the validity period. The traffic package with the earliest expiration date is used first.
  4. A package will automatically expire when it reaches the end of its validity period, and any remaining quota in the package can no longer be used. Excess usage will be billed on a pay-per-use basis.
  5. A traffic package can be used only by the buyer account.
  6. Changing from traffic-based billing to another billing option will freeze your traffic packages. To use them, you must switch back to traffic-based billing before they expire.
