Bare Metal Billing
Bare metal instances, bandwidth, data transfer, elastic IPs, CIDR blocks are billable; virtual private clouds (VPCs) and subnets are free for use.
Bare metal instances, bandwidth, data transfer, elastic IPs, CIDR blocks are billable; virtual private clouds (VPCs) and subnets are free for use.
A bare metal instance includes the computing resources (CPUs and memory), storage resources, IPs, bandwidth, data transfer, VLAN, CIDR blocks, VPCs and subnets.
*Note
The actual price varies in different locations and zones, therefore the price shown on the order page shall prevail.
The billing method of bare metal instances is Subscription. You pay for a bare metal instance including:
Flat Rate Bandwidth
You can set a bandwidth cap for your stable business with little bursty traffic, and use unlimited data transfer. You will be charged based on the bandwidth size.
*Note
You can pay your bandwidth afterward together with the instance by hour.
Please contact us if you need.
Burstable 95th
You use first and pay afterward by month. If you have a base commit rate, you need to pay that part first. The system samples the peak bandwidth of each instance monthly, and discard the top 5% of the samples. The highest value left is taken as your actual bandwidth usage. Instances with pricing model of burstable 95th will be billed as follows:
Monthly payment = Resource payment (Monthly price of computing + storage) + Bandwidth payment (95th percentile bandwidth (Mbps) × Monthly price per Mbps × Effective factor).
*Note
Effective factor = Number of valid days in a calendar month/Total number of days in the calendar month.
There are 3 kinds of burstable 95th billing models:
Billing Model | Billing Item | Description |
Burstable 95th volume pricing | 95th percentile bandwidth usage of one instance | The price of all the bandwidth units you have used is within the set price range. |
Burstable 95th tiered pricing | 95th percentile bandwidth usage of one instance | The price per bandwidth unit you have used is within a particular price range. Once you fill up one tier you move to the next. |
Burstable 95th with commitment | 95th percentile bandwidth usage of one instance | You pay the bandwidth commitment first and usage exceeded the base commit rate will be paid afterward by Mbps.
Note |
Aggregated Burstable 95th
You use first and pay afterward by month. If you have a base commit rate, you need to pay that part first. The system samples the peak bandwidth of all your instances in one bandwidth cluster each month, and discard the top 5% of the samples. The highest value left is taken as the billable bandwidth.
There are 3 kinds of aggregated burstable 95th billing models:
Billing Model | Billing Item | Description |
Burstable 95th volume pricing | 95th percentile bandwidth usage of all instances in one bandwidth cluster | The price of all the bandwidth units you have used is within the set price range. |
Burstable 95th tiered pricing | 95th percentile bandwidth usage of all instances in one bandwidth cluster | The price per bandwidth unit you have used is within a particular price range. Once you fill up one tier you move to the next. |
Burstable 95th with commitment | 95th percentile bandwidth usage of all instances in one bandwidth cluster | You pay the bandwidth commitment first and usage exceeded the base commit rate will be post paid by Mbps.
Note |
*Note
▸ All your instances in one bandwidth cluster will be billed together with no bandwidth commitment.
▸ You will not be billed for a bandwidth cluster if no instances are added in.
Data Transfer
You can purchase subscription data transfer package or pay-as-you-go data transfer. You are billed by the egress data transfer.
For subscription instances, data transfer usage displayed in the instance list is calculated on a 30-day basis since creation, while for pay-as-you-go instances, data transfer usage shown here is calculated by calendar month.
Data Transfer Usage
Here are examples.
*Note
You are highly recommended to buy a sufficient data transfer package according to your actual business.
Elastic IP
Elastic IP Type | Billing Item | Description |
Elastic IP | Number of IPs | You prepay the IP by month with the price of $3 each.
Note |
CIDR Block
IPv4 CIDR block and IPv6 CIDR block are supported on Chief BMC Console.
CIDR Block Type | Billing Item | Description |
IPv4 CIDR block | Number of available IPs | 64 available IPs are supported in one zone by default. Please contact us if your required quantity exceeds the existing stock. |
IPv6 CIDR block | Free for use | An IPv6 CIDR block contains 500 available IPs and you can create at most 5 IPv6 CIDR blocks in one zone. |
