Add extra database space to Cloud Web Hosting-Cloud Web Hosting(CWH)-阿里云帮助中心

After you create a website using Cloud Web Hosting, the included database space may be insufficient for your website's needs, such as for a popular forum or blog. You can purchase additional database space to ensure uninterrupted website access.

Important notes

Before you add database space to your Cloud Web Hosting instance, review the following information:

Rule	Description	Example
Expiration rule	The expiration date for any additional database space matches the original host’s expiration date.	If your original host expires on June 25, 2021, the added database space also expires on June 25, 2021.
Pricing rule	The cost of additional database space equals (actual number of months from purchase date to expiration date ÷ 12) × annual price of the added space.	For example: The actual number of months from the purchase date to the expiration date is 2 months. The annual price for 50 MB of additional database space is CNY 150. The cost is CNY 25, calculated as 2 ÷ 12 × 150 = 25.
Renewal rule	If your Cloud Web Hosting instance expires in less than one month, renew it before purchasing additional database space. If you have already purchased additional database space, you must renew it together with your host during renewal.
Upgrading or replacing system rules	If you upgrade your Cloud Web Hosting instance or change its operating system, the additional database space will not carry over to the new instance.

Procedure

You can purchase additional database space for all Cloud Web Hosting plans. This topic uses a Basic Edition exclusive Windows-based Web Hosting instance as an example.
