老唐笔记
今天清理邮箱未读邮件的时候看到一封阿里巴巴国际版发来的邮件，提示说阿里云新手套餐 2.0 版从 2020 年 6 月 30 日开始就会下线了。阿里云毕竟还是号称套路云的，确实是套路满满，说不让续费就不让续费了。之后如果还想使用这台 VPS，要么就是按照原价续费（非常贵），要么就是转而购买阿里云国际版轻量应用服务器（线路差）。总之就是没有一个好的解决方法，这不是赶人走么。
下面为大家翻译一下邮件原文，不做解读。阿里云国际版轻量应用服务器的测评可以参考《阿里云国际版轻量应用服务器香港机房测评：速度、延迟、丢包率、路由》。目前如果还是想使用阿里云，建议大家选择阿里云云小站优惠活动，新老用户皆有活动，参考《阿里云云小站：云服务器低至 89 元/年，香港 CN2 VPS 仅 119 元/年，可领取 2000 元代金券》。
一、阿里云国际版新手套餐停止续费
谷歌翻译后的中文如下，未做校验，大概意思应该都看得懂。
尊敬的客户：
入门包2.0版将从2020年6月30日起脱机。所有现有的续订折扣将不再受条款和条件所述。当您使用Starter Package版本2.0中的ECS实例时，请密切注意此通知。 （如果您不再具有Starter Package版本2.0中的实例，请忽略此通知。）
入门软件包2.0版何时会脱机？
2020年6月30日上午10:00（UTC + 8）。
如果要继续使用阿里云怎么办？
以下是三种推荐的解决方案，您可以根据自己的实际情况和需求进行选择。
选项1：通过手动选择“不续订”暂时停止续订现有实例。 2020年6月30日之后，您可以在下次续订时更新首选设置（例如1Mbps固定带宽）。
选项2：停止当前实例并用Simple Application Server（SAS）替换它们。 SAS为价格合理的服务器提供数据传输计划，最低每月3.40美元。每个用户最多可以购买20个实例。有关详细信息，请参见此处。
选项3：续订后，以标准定价继续使用当前实例和设置（不包括数据传输计划）。有关定价，请参见此处。
我如何找到我的入门包2.0实例
您的所有入门包实例ID都将在此处的“手动/自动/不可更新”选项卡下列出。
从2020年6月30日起，我的当前实例将发生什么？
1.续订Starter Package版本2.0 ECS实例时是否有折扣？
离线后，您将不再获得任何续订折扣。
2.续订Starter Package版本2.0 ECS实例时，能否获得数据传输计划？
不可以，一旦脱机，您将无法获得现有Starter Package版本2.0实例的任何其他数据传输计划。
3.如果2.0版脱机后续订ECS实例会怎样？
将根据此处列出的已配置ECS实例的标准定价向您收费（数据传输计划除外）。
4.如果我的Starter Package版本2.0 ECS实例自动更新怎么办？
您还需要按照标准定价支付费用。如果您不想续订2.0版实例，请通过控制台将其设置为“不可续订”。
5.版本2.0脱机后，带宽和实例升级是否有任何限制？
没有任何限制。您的Starter Package版本2.0实例将变为常规的ECS实例，可以将其配置为首选的带宽设置，并可以根据您的要求进行升级或降级。
感谢您的理解和关注。如果您有任何疑问或疑虑，请随时与我们或您的客户经理联系。
