    Anycast Elastic IP Address:Purchase and manage Anycast EIPs

    Last Updated:Dec 20, 2023

    Anycast Elastic IP Address (Anycast EIP) is a service that you can use to improve the availability of your Internet-facing services and the quality of Internet connections. Before you use the Anycast EIP service, you must create an Anycast EIP. After an Anycast EIP is created, the system allocates a public IP address to the Anycast EIP. This way, you can use the Anycast EIP to access the Internet.

    Purchase an Anycast EIP

    1. Log on to the Anycast EIP console.

    2. On the Anycast Elastic IP Addresses page, click Purchase Anycast EIP.

    3. If this is your first time purchasing an Anycast EIP, the billing of Anycast EIP is managed by Cloud Data Transfer (CDT). You must first activate CDT.

      1. Read and select Terms of Service and click Activate.

      2. In the message that appears, click Continue to Purchase.

      Note

      If this is not the first time that you purchase Anycast EIPs, the pay-by-data-transfer metering method is used by default. For more information, see Billing rules. To use CDT to manage the billing of Anycast EIP, go to the Cloud Data Transfer page and select a region outside the Chinese mainland. Click Activate Now next to Anycast EIP. For more information, see What is CDT?.
