This topic describes the billing of Anti-DDoS Proxy (Outside Chinese Mainland) instances of the Secure Chinese Mainland Acceleration (Sec-CMA) mitigation plan.
Mitigation plan description
Anti-DDoS Proxy (Outside Chinese Mainland) provides two types of instances: Anti-DDoS Proxy (Outside Chinese Mainland) instances of the Sec-CMA mitigation plan and Anti-DDoS Proxy (Outside Chinese Mainland) instances of the Sec-CMA (Basic) mitigation plan.
An Anti-DDoS Proxy (Outside Chinese Mainland) instance of the Sec-CMA mitigation plan provides access acceleration and two advanced mitigation sessions each calendar month for all services that are added to the instance.
An Anti-DDoS Proxy (Outside Chinese Mainland) instance of the Sec-CMA (Basic) mitigation plan provides access acceleration and one advanced mitigation session each calendar month for all services that are added to the instance.
Advanced mitigation uses the anti-DDoS scrubbing centers of Alibaba Cloud in the current region to protect your services against DDoS attacks.
To purchase an Anti-DDoS Proxy (Outside Chinese Mainland) instance of the Sec-CMA (Basic) mitigation plan, submit a
ticket to contact the pre-sales business development manager.The minimum specifications for the two types of instances are the same except for the number of advanced mitigation sessions that are provided free of charge.
If the advanced mitigation sessions that are provided each calendar month cannot meet your business requirements, we recommend that you purchase global advanced mitigation sessions to improve mitigation capabilities. For more information, see Billing of advanced mitigation sessions.

The prices of billable items that are provided in this topic are for reference only. The actual prices on the
Anti-DDoS Proxy (Outside Chinese Mainland) buy page shall prevail.Unit prices of the two types of instances that use the minimum specifications
An instance of the Sec-CMA mitigation plan:
USD 15,480 per monthAn instance of the Sec-CMA (Basic) mitigation plan:
USD 9,288 per month
The following table describes the two types of instances that use the minimum subscription specifications and do not enable the pay-as-you-go features. The minimum specifications for the two types of instances are the same except for the number of advanced mitigation sessions that are provided free of charge.
Specification name | Specification of the Sec-CMA mitigation plan | Specification of the Sec-CMA (Basic) mitigation plan | Billing method | Description |
Clean bandwidth | 10 Mbit/s | 10 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 | 500 | 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 one. If the number of domain names that can be protected by an instance is 50, the domain names can belong to a maximum of five 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 specify 6,000 for the clean QPS when you purchase an instance. 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 that uses 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
Pay-as-you-go description
After you enable a pay-as-you-go feature, bills are generated only after the usage of the feature meets the bill generation conditions.
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. For more information, see Billing of the burstable QPS feature. |
