Alibaba Cloud Increases Prices for DDoS Protection Services

Alibaba Cloud, a major cloud computing provider, has adjusted the pricing for a selection of its Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection products. Effective July 15, the company raised prices on its Native Protection 2.0 (annual/monthly subscription), High-Defense DDoS Protection (Mainland China), and High-Defense DDoS Protection (Outside Mainland China) services that utilize flexible 95 pricing models.

The cost for elastic bandwidth under the Native Protection 2.0 service will increase from 82 yuan to 98.5 yuan per Mbps per month. Conversely, the daily 95 pricing for this service will decrease from 12 yuan to 6 yuan per Mbps per day.

For High-Defense DDoS Protection within mainland China, the elastic bandwidth pricing will see a rise from 100 yuan to 150 yuan per Mbps per month, with daily pricing increasing from 6 yuan to 8 yuan per Mbps per day.

International High-Defense DDoS Protection services will also experience significant price hikes. For instance, the "insurance protection - elastic bandwidth" will go from 105 yuan to 150 yuan per Mbps per month, and daily pricing will increase from 6.3 yuan to 8 yuan per Mbps per day. Protection for accelerated lines will also become more expensive.

Alibaba Cloud's DDoS protection services are built upon the company's global network infrastructure and proprietary attack detection and mitigation systems. The aim of these services is to reduce the impact of network attacks on business operations, such as latency, accessibility issues, and service interruptions, thereby minimizing business losses and potential risks.
