This topic describes the billing methods of Anti-DDoS Premium Mainland China Acceleration (MCA). Before you use MCA, you must purchase an Anti-DDoS Premium instance. You can purchase an Anti-DDoS Premium instance to defend against DDoS attacks for services that are deployed outside mainland China. If no attacks are launched, you can use MCA to accelerate service delivery to users in mainland China.
Overview
MCA is suitable for services that are deployed in regions outside mainland China and are protected by Anti-DDoS Premium. If no attack is launched against your Anti-DDoS Premium instance, you can use MCA to accelerate service delivery to users in mainland China.
