Billing

Billing items include DeHs and the services associated with ECSs on DeHs.

DeH:
- DeH: all resources of the DeH, including CPUs, memory, and local disks.
  For details about the pricing details, see Product Pricing Details.
- Dedicated ECS: EIPs and bandwidths. Dedicated ECSs created on the DeH are free of charge. You only need to pay for the associated resources you used, such as EIPs and EVS disks.
Services associated with ECSs on DeHs:
The resources associated with an ECS, such as EIPs and EVS disks, are billed on a pay-per-use basis. After an ECS is created, you can bind yearly/monthly EIPs, EVS disks, and other resources.
- EIP: For details, Billing.
- Elastic Volume Service (EVS): You can select EVS disks of multiple specifications based on your requirements. The attached disks used as the system disks in ECSs on DeHs can only be billed on a pay-per-use basis. For details, see Billing.

Billing mode: DeHs are billed on a yearly/monthly basis, which is a prepayment mode. When you purchase a DeH, the system will deduct the fees from your account balance accordingly.
Billing cycle: The billing cycle is on a yearly/monthly basis and uses the UTC+8 time zone. The billing cycle starts when you enable your resource (accurate to the second) and ends when the specified usage duration expires (showing: 00:00:00).
Example: If you enable a resource at 13:23:56 on February 1, 2017, the billing cycle ends at 00:00:00 on February 2, 2018.
Billing unit: DeHs are billed based on the number of physical servers. If you need to purchase, renew, or expand your DeH, select at least one physical server at a time.
Example: If you purchase two DeHs on February 1, 2017 for one year, the billing cycle ends at 00:00:00 on February 2, 2018. If you purchase another DeH for one month on January 1, 2018, the billing cycle of this DeH ends at 00:00:00 February 2, 2018. You can renew all these three DeHs at the same time. If you renew these three DeHs for another one year, the renewal billing cycle starts at 00:00:00 on February 2, 2018, and ends at 00:00:00 on February 3, 2019.
