For more information, see Differences between Standard and Enhanced function plans.

Number of protected domain names

50

Fees for extendable configuration items

  • Clean bandwidth

    Clean bandwidth (Mbps)

    Unit price (USD/month/Mbps)

    0 < Clean bandwidth ≤ 100

    0

    100 < Clean bandwidth ≤ 600

    15

    600 < Clean bandwidth ≤ 200,000

    11

    For example, if you select 500 Mbps for Clean Bandwidth when purchasing an instance, you pay the following monthly fee for the extended clean bandwidth:

    (100 - 0) × 0 + (500 - 100) × 15 = USD 6,000

  • Clean queries per second (QPS)

    Clean QPS

    Unit price (USD/month/QPS)

    0 < QPS ≤ 3,000

    0

    3,000 < QPS ≤ 5,000

    1.5

    5,000 < QPS ≤ 8,000

    1.425

    8,000 < QPS ≤ 10,000

    1.35

    10,000 < QPS ≤ 50,000

    1.275

    50,000 < QPS ≤ 100,000

    1.05

    100,000 < QPS ≤ 300,000

    0.9

    For example, if you select 6,000 business QPS when you purchase an instance, you are charged monthly for the extended instance's business QPS.

    (3,000 - 0) × 0 + (5,000 - 3,000) × 1.5 + (6,000 - 5,000) × 1.425 = USD 4,425

  • Function Plan

    Enhanced function plan: USD 1,200/month

  • Number of protected domain names

    Number of domain names

    Unit price for Standard function plan (USD/month/domain)

    Unit price for Enhanced function plan (USD/month/domain)

    0 < Number of domain names ≤ 50

    0

    0

    50 < Number of domain names ≤ 200

    4.5

    7.5

    200 < Number of domain names ≤ 600

    600 < Number of domain names ≤ 2,000

    3.9

    6.5

    2,000 < Number of domain names ≤ 20,000

    2.7

    4.5

    For example, if you select the Standard function plan and set the number of protected domain names to 600 when purchasing an instance, you pay the following monthly fee for the additional domain names:

    (50 - 0) × 0 + (200 - 50) × 4.5 + (600 - 200) × 4.2 = USD 2,355

  • Number of ports

    Number of ports

    Unit price (USD/month/port)

    0 < Number of ports ≤ 50

    0

    50 < Number of ports ≤ 150

    7.5

    150 < Number of ports ≤ 400

    6.75

    400 < Number of ports ≤ 1,000

    6

    1,000 < Number of ports ≤ 1,500

    4.5

    For example, if you set the number of ports to 200 when purchasing an instance, you pay the following monthly fee for the additional ports:

    (50 - 0) × 0 + (150 - 50) × 7.50 + (200 - 150) × 6.75 = USD 1,087.5

Part II: pay-as-you-go

You can enable these features as needed. You are charged only when usage thresholds are exceeded.

Expiration policy

Time period

Service traffic forwarding

Instance configuration

0–6 days after expiration

Retains a 5 Gbps blackhole threshold. Traffic exceeding 5 Gbps triggers blackhole filtering.

Configuration retained.

7–14 days after expiration

Service traffic forwarding stops. Resumes after renewal.

Warning

To avoid service disruption, switch traffic to your origin server at least 7 days before expiration. • Website services: Ensure domain name resolution does not point to the Anti-DDoS Proxy CNAME address. • Non-website services: Ensure your service IP does not use the Anti-DDoS Proxy exclusive IP address.

Configuration retained.

Day 15 after expiration

Service traffic forwarding stops.

Instance released.

Warning

After all Anti-DDoS Proxy instances under your account are released for 30 days, the system automatically clears all associated domain and port forwarding rules. The 30-day countdown starts from the release of the last instance.

Note: Expiration notifications and release notifications are temporarily unavailable. Starting seven, three, and one day before your instance expires, Alibaba Cloud sends reminders via and email to notify you that your instance is about to expire and prompt you to renew.

Overdue payments

  • Your account is considered overdue if your available balance — including cash, vouchers, and coupons — is insufficient to cover your bill.

  • To avoid service disruption, top up your account balance promptly.

Renewal policy

You can manually or automatically renew an instance. For more information, see Instance management.

Refund policy

Refunds are not available after purchase.

Bill query

You can query bills in Expenses and Costs. For more information, see Overview of monthly bills.
