Billing Overview
Last updated: 2024-01-04 09:44:16
This document describes CLB billing modes, billable items, billing cycles, and prices.
Note:
There are two types of Tencent Cloud accounts: bill-by-IP account and bill-by-CVM account. All Tencent Cloud accounts registered after 00:00:00 on June 17, 2020 are bill-by-IP accounts. If you have registered an account before that time, you can check your account type in the console as instructed in Checking Account Type. For the differences between these two account types, see Account Types.
Physical dedicated instances are deployed on dedicated clusters. To add or deactivate dedicated clusters, please contact your sales rep. The minimum service period of dedicated clusters is three months.
Billable items
The CLB service fees involve four parts, namely the instance fee, network fee, LCU fee and cross-region binding fee.
Instance type | Network type | Instance fee | Public network fee | LCU fee | Cross-region binding fee |
LCU-supported | Public network | Yes | Yes | Yes | Optional |
| | | | Private network | No |
Shared | Public network | Yes | Yes | No | Optional |
| | | | Private network | No |
Instance type | Network type | Instance fee | Public network fee | LCU Fee | Cross-region binding fee |
LCU-supported | Public network | Yes | N/A (billed together with the CVM) | Yes | Optional |
| | | | | Private network |
Shared | Public network | Yes | N/A (billed together with the CVM) | No | Optional |
| | | | | Private network |
Note：
For bill-by-CVM accounts, when the client accesses IPv4 and Ipv6 NAT 64 CLB instances, the public network fee is billed on the CVM but not the CLB. For more details, see CVM Public Network Fee. If you have not purchased public network for you CVM, the client cannot access the CVM via a public network load balancer.
For bill-by-CVM accounts, when a client accesses an IPv6 CLB instance, the IPv6 public network bandwidth fee is counted into the bandwidth package (IPv4 and IPv6 NAT64 CLBs are not affected). When you create an IPv6 CLB instance, you need to specify the bandwidth cap and set the billing mode to Bandwidth Package. For more pricing details, see Bandwidth Package - Regular BGP Bandwidth Package.
Billing modes
Public network CLBs and private network CLBs support pay-as-you-go.
Instance billing mode | Network billing mode | Billing overview |
Pay-as-you-go | Traffic-based billing | Bill by the outgoing data volume |
| Bandwidth packages | Bill by the higher one between inbound bandwidth peak and outbound bandwidth peak |
Instance Billing Method | Network Billing Mode |
