USD 11,560 per month
Specification name | Specification of the Insurance mitigation plan | Specification of the Unlimited mitigation plan | Billing method | Description |
Clean bandwidth | 100 Mbit/s | 100 Mbit/s | Subscription | The maximum service traffic that can be processed by the instance when no attacks occur. You can increase the specification. |
95th percentile burstable clean bandwidth | Disabled | Disabled | Pay-as-you-go | If the actual bandwidth is greater than the clean bandwidth and less than the 95th percentile burstable clean bandwidth, pay-as-you-go bills are generated. |
Clean queries per second (QPS) | 500 | 1,000 | Subscription | The maximum number of HTTP and HTTPS requests per second that can be concurrently processed by the instance when no attacks occur. You can increase the specification. Note We recommend that you specify the clean QPS based on your business requirements. If the actual QPS of your service exceeds the clean QPS that you specify, packet loss may occur and some logs may fail to be recorded. |
95th percentile burstable QPS | Disabled | Disabled | Pay-as-you-go | If the actual QPS is greater than the clean QPS and less than the 95th percentile burstable QPS, pay-as-you-go bills are generated. |
Function plan | Standard | Standard | Subscription | Anti-DDoS Proxy (Outside Chinese Mainland) supports Standard and Enhanced function plans. The Enhanced function plan supports advanced service access capabilities and DDoS mitigation capabilities. For more information, see Differences between the Standard and Enhanced function plans. |
Number of domain names that can be protected | 10 | 10 | Subscription | The number of HTTP and HTTPS domain names that an instance can protect. For every 10 additional domain names, the total number of second-level domain names that are supported is increased by 1. If the number of domain names that can be protected by an instance is 50, the domain names can belong to up to 5 second-level domain names. |
Number of ports | 5 | 5 | Subscription | The number of TCP and UDP ports that can be protected by an instance. You can increase the specification. |

1.05 For example, you purchase an instance of the Insurance mitigation plan and specify 6,000 for the clean QPS. The fee for the specified clean QPS per month is calculated based on the following formula:
(500 - 0) × 0 + (5,000 - 500) × 1.5 + (6,000 - 5,000) × 1.425 = USD 8,175Function plan

2.7 4.5 For example, you purchase an instance of the Insurance mitigation plan, select the Standard function plan, and set the number of domain names that can be protected to 600. The fee for the number of domain names that can be protected per month is calculated based on the following formula:
(10 - 0) × 0 + (500 - 10) × 4.5 + (600 - 500) × 4.1 = USD 2,615Number of ports

(5 - 0) × 0 + (50 - 5) × 30 +(80 - 50) × 26= USD 2,130

Feature | Billing rule | Description |
95th percentile burstable clean bandwidth | Both the daily 95th percentile metering method and the monthly 95th percentile metering method are supported. | The burstable clean bandwidth feature provides additional clean bandwidth for your instance. If spikes occur in your service traffic and the traffic exceeds the clean bandwidth of the instance during peak hours, the burstable clean bandwidth feature can be used to prevent access to your service from being limited. For more information, see Billing of the burstable clean bandwidth feature. |
95th percentile burstable QPS | Both the daily 95th percentile metering method and the monthly 95th percentile metering method are supported. | The burstable QPS feature provides additional QPS for your instance. If spikes occur in your service QPS and the QPS exceeds the clean QPS of the instance during peak hours, the burstable QPS feature can be used to prevent access to your service from being limited.
