APIs support instance operations such as creating, stopping, querying, reinstalling, and releasing instances. Remote access is available through Client, SmartTerm, or VNC. Security and operations features include multi-layer DDoS protection, failover completed in seconds, automatic snapshot backups, an instance-level virtual firewall, and monitoring alerts.

Prepaid instances require an upfront payment, while reserved instances have one- or three-year terms and offset matching postpaid bills. Prices vary by configuration and region. Creating an instance requires real-name certification, and the postpaid account balance combined with general coupons must exceed RMB 100.
