About this project

This repository provides a detailed Mkcloud cross-border dedicated line (IEPL/IPLC) plan pricing comparison and purchasing guide. Founded in April 2023, Mkcloud focuses on compliant cross-border e-commerce scenarios, with product lines covering Guangzhou-Hong Kong IEPL, Shanghai-Hong Kong/Japan/USA IPLC, Fujian-Hong Kong high-defense IPLC, Shanghai CN2, and IXP cloud interconnect dedicated lines. Core document contents: 1. Full-route plan pricing table: Lists 20+ active plans, with monthly fees ranging from 158 RMB for Shenzhen-Hong Kong IXP 2TB to 17,400 RMB for Guangzhou-Hong Kong IEPL 300M dedicated. Covers two billing models: traffic-based (shared bandwidth + monthly traffic quota) and bandwidth-based (dedicated bandwidth + unlimited traffic), with CPU/memory, peak/dedicated bandwidth, monthly traffic, in-network latency, and purchase links noted. 2. Four pricing variables explained: Billing method (traffic-based vs dedicated bandwidth), route direction (Guangzhou-Hong Kong 1-2ms, Shanghai-Japan 25-28ms, Shanghai-USA 124-134ms), ingress access (IXP requires self-provisioned cloud front-end, direct-connect plans do not), and DDoS protection capability (high-defense products start at 5,800 RMB/month). 3. Practical selection advice: Choose traffic tier based on monthly traffic estimates (leave 30% headroom, note bidirectional totals), dedicated bandwidth break-even line (5M sustained at full capacity ≈ 1.5TB/month), bandwidth tiered pricing patterns (larger is cheaper, above 100M ≈ 58 RMB/M/month). 4. Promo code summary: MK-8.8 (traffic-based 12% off recurring), MK-7.8 (dedicated bandwidth first month 22% off), IXCLOUD/US-6.9 (IXP routes 31% off), MK-NEW (new customer exclusive). 5. Three hard rules: Real-name verification + provincial whitelist, refunds only for quality issues with data required, upgrades/downgrades via support tickets with no refund on downgrades. 6. Typical user profile matching: Recommended plans for SMB sellers, budget-sensitive users, Japan/USA-facing business, and high-defense/large-bandwidth needs respectively. 7. Risk advisory: Private dedicated lines at low prices carry compliance and stability uncertainties; for core business, carrier-grade IPLC is recommended (≈ 500 RMB/Mbps/month). Using real tested prices as samples combined with pricing logic breakdown, the document helps readers understand "why lines all called dedicated can differ by a hundredfold" and provides an actionable decision framework.
