Step 4: Confirm

Confirming the Order

  1. On the Confirm page, view details about the ECS configuration.

    If you have any questions about the price, at the bottom of the page, hover over the question mark on the right of Price and click Pricing details.

  2. (Optional) Select Set scheduled deletion time.

    After you set a scheduled deletion time, the system automatically deletes the ECS at the specified time. Back up data in advance.

    The scheduled deletion time must be at least 1 hour from the current time but not more than 3 years from now. You can change the scheduled deletion time before the instance is deleted.

    The system executes the scheduled deletion task every 5 minutes and stops the billing when the ECS is deleted.

  3. Select the required duration and quantity for the ECS.
    • Required Duration: specifies the service duration if you select the Yearly/Monthly billing mode. The service duration range is from one month to one year.

      You can select Auto-renew to automatically renew yearly/monthly resources when they expire.

      • Monthly: Your subscription will be automatically renewed each month.
      • Yearly: Your subscription will be automatically renewed each year.

      For details about auto-renewal, see Auto-Renewal Rules.

    • Quantity: specifies the number of ECSs to be created.

      The remaining number of ECSs you are allowed to create is displayed. To ensure effective resource usage, an upper limit is set on the ECSs to be created. If the number of ECSs you need exceeds the maximum number of ECSs you are allowed to create, you can click Increase Quota to apply for a higher quota. You can purchase the ECSs you need after the request is approved.

  4. Read the agreement and select the Agreement option.
  5. Confirm the configuration and click Submit.

    After the ECS is created, it will be started by default.

Follow-up Procedure

  • If your ECS is created using a private image that is created using an external image file, and the ECS has no one-click password reset plug-in installed, it is a good practice to install the password reset plug-in after you log in to the ECS. If your login password is forgotten or expires, you can use the one-click password reset function to set a new password for the ECS.

    For details, see Installing the One-Click Password Reset Plug-in on an ECS.
