Billing

Billing Items

You need to pay for:

  • DeH and ECS services
    • DeH: You need to pay for all resources of the DeH, including CPUs, memory, and local disks.

      For details about the pricing details, see Product Pricing Details.

    • Dedicated ECS: Dedicated ECSs created on the DeH are free of charge, and you only need to pay for the EIPs and bandwidths you used.

      For details about the pricing details of EIPs and bandwidth, see Product Pricing Details.

  • Associated services (You can purchase resources as required and pay for only what you use. After your DeH expires, you need to release the associated resources to avoid unnecessary expenses.):
    • Elastic IP (EIP): EIP is billed by the number of EIP addresses you purchased. For details, see Billing.
    • Bandwidth: Public network bandwidth is billed by traffic or bandwidth. For details, see Billing.
    • Elastic Volume Service (EVS): You can select EVS disks of multiple specifications based on your requirements. EVS disks are billed on a pay-per-use or yearly/monthly basis. 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

  1. 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.
  2. 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 period ends at 00:00:00 on February 2, 2018.

  3. 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 a user purchases two DeHs on February 1, 2017 for one year and enables them at 13:23:56, the billing period ends at 00:00:00 on February 2, 2018. If the user purchases another DeH for one month on January 1, 2018, the billing period of this DeH ends at 00:00:00 February 2, 2018. This user can renew all these three DeHs at the same time. If the user renews these three DeHs for another one year, the renewal billing period starts at 00:00:00 on February 2, 2018, and ends at 00:00:00 on February 3, 2019.
