Billing Overview

In this document, you will learn about the billing modes, billing items, renewal, and arrear of Huawei Cloud DDoS Mitigation service.

  • Billing modes

    DDoS Mitigation supports the yearly/monthly billing mode. Yearly/Monthly: You pay upfront for the amount of time you expect to use the service for. You will need to make sure you have a top-up account with a sufficient balance or have a valid payment method configured first. For details, see Overview.

  • Billed Items

    The billing items of DDoS Mitigation include the number of instances, number of protected domain names/IP addresses, number of protected ports, number of protection times, self-service unblocking packages, line resources, basic protection bandwidth, elastic protection bandwidth, and purchased duration. The billing items vary depending on the edition. For details about DDoS Mitigation billing items and calculation formulas, see Billing Items.

  • Renewing Subscriptions

    After a DDoS Mitigation instance purchased in yearly/monthly mode expires, its protection functions will be unavailable. If you want to continue using the protection functions of DDoS Mitigation, you need to renew your DDoS Mitigation instance within the specified period. Otherwise, resources such as the instance will be automatically removed, and domain name/IP configuration data may be lost. You can renew your subscription manually or automatically. For more details about renewal, see Overview.

    You can go to Billing & Costs > Bills to view bills and expenditures for Anti-DDoS Service resources. For details, see Bills.

  • Arrears

    Your account goes into arrears when the balance is less than the bill to be settled. If you are in arrears, your DDoS Mitigation instances may not run correctly. Please top up in time. For details, see Arrears.
