EIP Usage Related Questions

What are the billing methods for EIP in the external network, and what are the specific billing rules?

  1. In the regular bandwidth mode (non-shared bandwidth), traffic billing IP can be applied for, or the existing IP can be switched to traffic billing. Shared bandwidth mode does not support traffic billing for external network IP.

  2. In traffic billing mode, traffic fees and IP address fees are paid separately:

  • External network IP address (without bandwidth) fee: can be paid on-demand, monthly, or annually (nude IP);
  • Traffic fees: Different regional prices vary, and it is settled according to the traffic used by each IP at midnight every day.

(1) The traffic-billed IP does not charge a bandwidth fee;
(2) Traffic statistics only count outbound traffic and do not count inbound traffic;
(3) The traffic-billed IP has the same trial rules as ordinary IP, and the traffic of the trial IP is not deducted;
(4) Switching the existing IP to a traffic-billed IP will automatically refund the purchased bandwidth;
(5) Traffic-billed IP does not support binding to a bandwidth package;

  1. If the deduction fails on the day, it will be deducted again the next day.

How long does it take for the binding of the external network EIP to take effect?

Under normal circumstances, it takes effect within 5 seconds.

Can a cloud host bind multiple external network EIPs?

The number is not limited.

Does a single EIP support binding to multiple cloud hosts?

A single external network EIP can only be bound to one cloud host, but it can be transferred to another cloud host through unbinding and binding. For the need to bind multiple hosts, please consider using a NAT gateway to solve it.
