If the bandwidth configurations of a pay-as-you-go instance that uses a public IP address are not suitable for your business requirements, you can modify the bandwidth configurations.
Background information
You can perform the following operations to modify the bandwidth configurations of
pay-as-you-go instances. You can modify the bandwidth configurations of instances
multiple times, but you must wait at least five minutes between two consecutive operations.
- Change the billing method for network usage. You can select Pay-By-Bandwidth or Pay-By-Traffic.
- Modify the public bandwidth or peak traffic bandwidth based on the billing method
for network usage.
Note If you change the public bandwidth of a classic network-type instance to 0 Mbit/s, the public IP address of the instance is retained. If you change the public bandwidth of a VPC-type instance to 0 Mbit/s, the public IP address of the instance is released.
This topic describes how to modify the bandwidth configurations of pay-as-you-go instances that use public IP addresses. For more information about how to modify the bandwidth configurations of a pay-as-you-go instance that uses an elastic IP address (EIP), see Modify the bandwidth of an EIP.
