Billing items

The NAT bandwidth package fee includes public IP retention fee and traffic fee.

  • Public IP fee = IP price × number of IPs × retention time

  • Traffic fee = Traffic price × amount of outgoing traffic

    • Only the outgoing traffic (from Alibaba Cloud to the Internet) is billed, and the incoming traffic is not billed.

    • Modifying the peak bandwidth does not affect the unit price. However, we recommend that you configure the bandwidth based on your actual needs to avoid generating excessive charged traffic due to program error or malicious access.
