This topic describes the billing of Anti-DDoS Pro.
Billing items
Subscription billable items
| Billing item | Description |
|---|---|
| Instance | Unit price: USD 3,120 per month.
Instance specifications:
|
| Basic protection bandwidth | Specify a basic protection bandwidth based on your business requirements. The actual prices on the buy page shall prevail. Price for every 10 Gbit/s of bandwidth increment: USD 1,300 per month. |
| Clean bandwidth | The maximum service traffic that can be processed by the instance when no attacks occur. Price for every 50 Mbit/s of clean bandwidth increment: USD 750 per month. |
| Function Plan | Enhanced function plan: The price of an instance that uses the Enhanced function plan is USD 1,200 per month higher than the price of an instance that uses the Standard function plan at the same specifications. For more information about the Standard and Enhanced function plans, see Function plan. |
| Number of domain names | The number of HTTP and HTTPS domain names that can be protected by the instance.
Note For every 10 additional domain names, the total number of second-level domain names that are supported is increased by one.
|
| Clean QPS | The maximum number of HTTP and HTTPS requests per second that can be concurrently processed by the instance when no attacks occur. Price for every 100 QPS of clean QPS increment: USD 150 per month.
Important We recommend that you specify this parameter based on your business requirements. If the actual QPS of your service exceeds the value of this parameter, packet loss may occur and some logs may fail to be recorded.
|
| Number of ports | The number of TCP and UDP ports that can be protected by the instance. Price for every five additional ports: USD 37.5 per month. |
Pay-as-you-go billable items
| Billing item | Description |
|---|---|
| Burstable protection bandwidth | The burstable protection feature is billed on a daily basis. To enable burstable protection, you must specify a burstable protection bandwidth that is greater than the basic protection bandwidth. For more information, see Billing of the burstable protection feature.
|
| 95th percentile burstable clean bandwidth | You can use the metering method of daily 95th percentile bandwidth or monthly 95th percentile bandwidth for the burstable clean bandwidth feature. After you enable the feature, you are charged for the burstable clean bandwidth that is used when the peak traffic exceeds the clean bandwidth of your instance. For more information, see Billing of the burstable clean bandwidth feature. |
Billing of the burstable protection feature
The fees for burstable protection is calculated by using the following method: Calculate the difference between the peak bandwidth of DDoS attacks on a day and the basic protection bandwidth, and view the price that corresponds to the pricing tier described in the following table.
The bill for burstable protection each day is generated from 08:00 to 09:00 on the following day.
The following table describes the prices of burstable protection based on different pricing tiers.
| Pricing tier | Price of burstable protection (USD/day) |
|---|---|
| 0 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 5 Gbit/s | 120 |
| 5 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 10 Gbit/s | 180 |
| 10 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 20 Gbit/s | 330 |
| 20 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 30 Gbit/s | 540 |
| 30 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 40 Gbit/s | 730 |
| 40 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 50 Gbit/s | 960 |
| 50 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 60 Gbit/s | 1,170 |
| 60 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 70 Gbit/s | 1,380 |
| 70 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 80 Gbit/s | 1,590 |
| 80 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 100 Gbit/s | 1,770 |
| 100 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 150 Gbit/s | 2,190 |
| 150 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 200 Gbit/s | 3,240 |
| 200 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 300 Gbit/s | 4,200 |
| 300 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 400 Gbit/s | 6,000 |
| 400 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 500 Gbit/s | 7,510 |
| 500 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 600 Gbit/s | 9,010 |
| 600 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 700 Gbit/s | 10,510 |
| 700 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 800 Gbit/s | 12,010 |
| 800 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 900 Gbit/s | 13,510 |
| 900 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 1,000 Gbit/s | 15,010 |
| 1,000 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 1,100 Gbit/s | 16,510 |
| 1,100 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 1,200 Gbit/s | 18,010 |
| 1,200 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 1,300 Gbit/s | 19,510 |
| 1,300 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 1,400 Gbit/s | 21,010 |
| 1,400 Gbit/s < Bandwidth difference ≤ 1,500 Gbit/s | 22,520 |
For example, the basic protection bandwidth of your Anti-DDoS Pro instance is 30 Gbit/s and the burstable protection bandwidth is 100 Gbit/s. Four DDoS attacks are launched against the instance on the same day. The peak attack bandwidths are 20 Gbit/s, 80 Gbit/s, 40 Gbit/s, and 120 Gbit/s.
The first and fourth DDoS attacks do not trigger burstable protection, and no fees are generated for burstable protection. The second and third DDoS attacks trigger burstable protection, and fees are generated.
- If the bandwidth of DDoS attacks is greater than the basic protection bandwidth but is less than the burstable protection bandwidth, burstable protection is triggered to mitigate the DDoS attacks. You are charged for the usage of burstable protection.
- If the bandwidth of DDoS attacks is no greater than the basic protection bandwidth or is greater than the burstable protection bandwidth, burstable protection is not triggered. You are not charged for the usage of burstable protection.
You are charged for the usage of burstable protection based on the higher peak bandwidth (80 Gbit/s). The difference between the higher peak bandwidth and basic protection bandwidth (30 Gbit/s) is 50 Gbit/s. Based on the pricing tiers that are described in the following table, the fee generated for burstable protection on the day is USD 960.
Service expiration
| Instance status | Description |
|---|---|
| Before the instance expires | Alibaba Cloud sends you text messages and emails seven days, three days, and one day before your instance expires to remind you to renew your subscription. |
| From the expiration date to seven calendar days (excluded) after the expiration date | The instance forwards service traffic, and the configurations of the instance are retained. If you renew your instance within this time period, the instance continues to provide protection capabilities based on the specifications that you purchase. |
| Seven calendar days (included) after the expiration date to 15 calendar days (excluded) after the expiration date | The instance no longer forwards service traffic, but the configurations of the instance are retained. If you renew your instance within this time period, the instance continues to provide protection capabilities based on the specifications that you purchase.
Warning If you no longer require Anti-DDoS Pro to protect your service, you must switch service traffic from the Anti-DDoS Pro instance to the origin server seven calendar days before the expiration date. Otherwise, access to your services may be adversely affected. If you want to switch service traffic, make sure that the domain name of your website does not map to the CNAME assigned by Anti-DDoS Pro. You must also make sure that your non-website service does not use an exclusive IP address provided by the instance.
|
| Fifteen calendar days (included) after the expiration date | The instance no longer forwards service traffic and is released.
Warning After all Anti-DDoS Pro instances that are created by using your Alibaba Cloud account are released, the configurations that are added to Anti-DDoS Pro are deleted. If you want to use Anti-DDoS Pro again, you must purchase and configure another Anti-DDoS Pro instance.
