Purchase Instructions

Given that this is a promotional offer, do not expect high performance. The server options are limited to burstable instances and shared instances, meaning server performance is restricted.
After activation, there is no default public IP; you must apply for one separately. Selecting a 1-month duration for the public IP also costs 1 yuan. Therefore, the total cost for both the server and the public IP will be 2 yuan.
Summary
Qiniu Cloud hosts offer the same regions as Alibaba Cloud and follow a similar strategy, providing burstable instances and shared instances with performance limits. There is a 99% probability that these are resold Alibaba Cloud products. For formal business use, it is not recommended to use "burstable instances and shared instances." Spending 2 yuan to try it out is fine, but there is no need to renew.
