Changing Billing Mode of a DDM Instance

DDM allows you to change the billing mode of your DDM instance between pay-per-use and yearly/monthly.

Changing the Billing Mode from Pay-per-Use to Yearly/Monthly

  1. Log in to the DDM console.
  2. In the instance list, locate a pay-per-use instance whose billing mode you want to change and choose More > Change to Yearly/Monthly in the Operation column.
  3. Select a renewal duration and decide if you want to enable Auto-renew and click Pay.

Changing the Billing Mode from Yearly/Monthly to Pay-per-Use

  1. Log in to the DDM console.
  2. In the instance list, locate a yearly/monthly instance whose billing mode you want to change and choose More > Change to Pay-per-use in the Operation column.
  3. In the displayed dialog box, click Yes.
  4. On the displayed page, click Submit.

    Once a request to change to pay-per-use is issued, the pay-per-use billing mode takes effect after the yearly/monthly subscription expires. You will be billed on an hourly basis for what you use.
