Buying DeHs

Scenarios

You can create DeHs within a few minutes by simply configuring parameters, such as the region, AZ, type, flavor, name, usage duration, and quantity. This topic describes how to create a yearly/monthly DeH on the management console.

Procedure

  1. Access the page for buying DeHs.
  2. Configure the DeH parameters.
    Table 1 Parameter description

    Parameter

    Description

    Billing Mode

    Currently, only the yearly/monthly billing mode is supported.

    You only pay for the duration you selected.

    Region

    A region is a geographic area where your DeHs are located. Select the region closest to your services to reduce the latency and improve the download speed.

    AZ

    An AZ is a physical region where resources use independent power supply and networks. AZs are physically isolated but interconnected through an internal network. To enhance application availability, create DeHs in different AZs.

    DeH Category and DeH Type

    For details about the available DeH categories and types, see Overview.

    NOTE:

    Pay attention to the following when configuring the DeH type:

    • The DeH type determines the flavors and quantity of ECSs that can run on the DeH.
    • The Supported ECS Flavors area shows the ECS flavors supported by the DeH type. You can create an ECS of the listed flavor only after the DeH is created successfully.
    • If the DeH type you desire is unavailable or the system displays a message indicating that the resources have been sold out, contact the customer service.

    Auto Placement

    When Auto Placement is disabled for a DeH, new ECSs with auto placement selected will not be created on the DeH. When Auto Placement is enabled for a DeH, new ECS with auto placement selected may be created on the DeH.

    During ECS creation, you can still manually select DeHs with auto placement disabled to create ECSs on them.

    Enterprise Project

    Provides a cloud resource management mode, in which cloud resources and members are centrally managed by project.

    Tag

    Tags are identifiers of DeHs. Adding tags to DeHs helps you better identify and manage your DeHs. You can add a maximum of 10 tags to a DeH.

    For details about tag operations, see Tag Management.

    DeH Name

    You can specify the DeH name, which contains a maximum of 64 characters, including only letters, digits, underscores (_), periods (.), and hyphens (-).

    Usage Duration

    1 month to 1 year

    You can select Auto-renew to prevent resources from being deleted due to the expiration of the product subscription.

    Quantity

    When you buy multiple DeHs, the system will add a suffix to each DeH name, for example, my_DeH-001 and my_DeH-002.

    Check the total price. If you have any questions about the price details, click Price details to view more information.

  3. Click Next.
  4. Confirm the configuration information, and click Submit.
  5. Pay for DeHs as prompted and click OK.
  6. After you pay the order, the system will allocate your requested DeHs.

Results

You can view the newly created DeH on the Dedicated Host page. If the DeH is not displayed immediately, refresh the page and wait for a while. If the status of the DeH changes to Available, you can use the DeH.

Follow-up Operations

After a DeH is provisioned, you can perform the following operations as needed:
