Renewing DDHs

You can follow the instructions in this topic to renew your DDHs and extend their expiration dates.

When you renew DDHs during the resource retention period, the renewal cycle will be calculated starting from the original expiration date/unsubscription time in the renewal bill.

After you renew DDHs, any DDH that has been forcibly shut down will automatically start and enter the "Running" status. If the restart fails, you can manually start it. If manual startup still fails, go to the console and click "Ticket > Create ticket" in the top menu bar to obtain support.

Automatic renewal

Before the expiration of your DDHs, you can enable automatic renewal for any DDH that has not enabled automatic renewal. Once automatic renewal is enabled, the system will automatically deduct the renewal fees from your account balance 7 days prior to the expiration dates of the DDHs. Make sure that your account balance is sufficient. If you have coupons in your account, they will be prioritized for the renewal.

You can also select the "Automatic renewal" option when purchasing a DDH. For more information, see Purchasing DDHs.

tip

Auto-renewal cannot be enabled or modified for expired DDHs.

For any instance with automatic renewal enabled, you can also manually renew it at any time. Manual renewal does not affect automatic renewal. The system will deduct fees 7 days before the updated expiration date.

Manual renewal

After a Subscription DDH expires or is unsubscribed, if renewal is not completed during the resource retention period, the DDH will stop services and be automatically released. You can manually renew the DDH at any time before it is released.

Procedure

In the top menu bar, select the region where your business is located.

On the DDH list page, click the "Renew" button in the "Actions" column of the target host.

You can also click the target host to enter the host overview page, and then click the "Renew" button in the upper right corner.

You will be redirected to the renewal management page. Review and confirm the instance information.

Select the renewal duration and click the "Pay" button.

Confirm the order information, and then click the "Next" button to submit the payment information. Click "Pay" to pay the fees.

If you have available coupons, select them for fee deduction.

On the "Submit payment information" page, view the payment details, select the payment method, and click the "Pay" button.

After the payment is complete, click the "Go to the console" button to go to the DDH list page and check whether the DDH is renewed.
