| Free tier | The vendor withdrew the free cloud server on 2026-09-20. It was 1 core, 1 GiB RAM, 5 Mbps bandwidth and a 10 GiB data disk, with a dedicated public IP on BGP multi-line routing and a free 免备案 (no ICP filing) service. First activation ran 24 hours, an extension could be requested after 6 hours, and each approved extension added 5 to 10 days depending on real-name verification status; the vendor called the product permanently free. The notice states free instances were to be taken offline by 2026-09-27 and their disk data deleted. The paid cloud server starts at CNY 15 for the first month at 1 core, 1 GiB RAM, 5 Mbps and a 100 GiB data disk. unit hours; metered on wall-clock; the free instance was time-boxed: 24 hours at first activation, then 5 to 10 days per approved extension, and deleted at expiry |

| Binding | retention-clamped the instance is deleted 24 hours after activation unless a reviewed public post earns 5 to 10 more days, so holding the machine costs a recurring publishing task |
| Identity | national-id Registration takes an 11-digit mobile number and an SMS code: the register form's identity field is 手机号码 with maxlength 11, plus 手机验证码, and activation runs 注册登录, 关注微信公众号, 认证开通. Opening the free server needs 实名认证 (real-name verification): the vendor states domestic cloud resources require it, that the name and 身份证号码 (national ID number) must be correct, that the registered mobile number must belong to that person, and that a fee is charged on every attempt whether or not it succeeds. A third-party write-up puts the verification fee at CNY 0.3 and a CNY 1 minimum balance before activation. |

| Retention | not applicable: the unit is a machine, not stored bytes; the instance and its disk are deleted when the free period ends |
