Sina Science and technology news March 20 afternoon, after 8 months of public testing, Sheng (grandcloud.cn) recently opened Operation quietly, cancellation of the original invitation code restrictions. In addition, the Sheng host product billing model has been adjusted accordingly. But the change has also sparked resentment among some of the smaller clients.

Sheng Official bulletin shows that from the beginning of last week, the Grand Cloud mainframe, cloud hard drives and other products to cancel the invitation code restrictions, the entire grand cloud platform for the full opening of the user. At the end of last July, the platform was formally opened for testing.

A grand cloud users calculated before and after the change in the billing method: The original billing method, a small host package annual price is 1788 Yuan, monthly and 30G free flow.

Sheng insiders on Sina technology revealed that the impact of the accounting method is relatively large micro-type customers, usually each month's traffic is below 30G, accounting for Sheng current total user size of about 10%.
