Buying a Shared Data Package

Scenarios

This section describes how to buy a shared data package. Shared data packages take effect immediately after your purchase. If you have subscribed to pay-per-use EIPs billed by traffic in a region and buy a shared data package in the same region, the EIPs will use the shared data package. After the package quota is used up or the package expires, the EIPs will continue to be billed on a pay-per-use basis.

Notes and Constraints

  • Shared data packages require a one-off payment and take effect immediately after purchase. You cannot specify the effective date.
  • Shared data packages cannot be unsubscribed from nor be modified once purchased and cannot be renewed upon expiration.
  • Shared data packages are billed by month or year. Once expired, remaining package quota cannot be used anymore.
  • Shared data packages can only be used by pay-per-use dedicated bandwidth billed by traffic. Two types of shared data packages are available: static BGP (for static BGP bandwidth) and dynamic BGP (for dynamic BGP bandwidth).
  • A shared data package cannot be used for bandwidth of a specific EIP.
  • A shared data package cannot be used for a shared bandwidth.
  • A shared data package cannot be used by EIPs of the premium BGP type.
  • If you have an order that has not been paid within the payment period, you need to cancel or pay for the order first. Then, you can purchase a shared data package.
