Resource Packages

Description

Shared data package

You can buy a shared data package for pay-per-use EIPs billed by traffic to save money. A shared data package provides a quota for data usage. Such packages are cost-effective and easy to use. Shared data packages are applied immediately after 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 if the package expires, the EIPs will continue to be billed on a pay-per-use basis.

  • 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 any more.
  • 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.

Table 1 details the available resource packages. If you want to know the prices of resource packages with different specifications and usage duration, see Product Pricing Details.
