Purchase Instructions

The activity link is: https://www.qiniu.com/events/qvm1rmb. Simply visit the link to make a purchase. Select a duration of 1 month and only pay 1 yuan during the payment process. Since it is an activity, it is not necessary to have high expectations. The server options are limited to burstable instances and shared instances, which means the server performance is restricted.

By default, the server does not have a public IP and needs to be requested separately. Select a duration of 1 month and the cost is also 1 yuan. So, in total, you need to spend 2 yuan for the server purchase.

Summary

Qiniu Cloud's server options and regions are exactly the same as Alibaba Cloud. They are playing the same game as Alibaba Cloud, providing burstable instances and shared instances that restrict performance. Therefore, it is not recommended to use burstable instances and shared instances for production purposes. Spending 2 yuan to play around with it is enough, and there is no need to renew.
