Alibaba Cloud

Alibaba Cloud is offering new users discounted domain names, cloud servers, and website packages to facilitate digital transformation. Key offers include $1 domains (.xyz, .top, etc.) and a 2-core, 2GB cloud server for $68 annually. The “Secure Website Package,” bundling a domain, server, and SSL certificate, is available for $424/year ($1.16/day). This provides a solution, with 99.99% availability, for individuals, startups, and SMEs seeking cost-effective cloud migration. Limited availability and renewal incentives apply.

As the demand for AI computing resources grows, Alibaba Cloud introduces cost-effective solutions. A basic cloud server is priced at $68/year, while the “Bailian LLM + Cloud Server” bundle, ideal for LLM inferencing, is available for a limited time at $119 (originally $1029.19). This bundle includes a standard cloud server and a Bailian LLM Inferencing Savings Plan. This offer lowers the barrier for AI development, especially for developers, SMBs, and research teams. New users can deploy LLM inferencing affordably, but supplies are limited.

Alibaba Cloud’s BaiLian platform will be inducted into the “Hall of Fame” at WAIC 2025, the conference’s highest honor. BaiLian, a comprehensive platform for LLM services and agent application development, was selected based on its technological sophistication, market potential, innovative design, and socio-economic impact. Featuring over 200 LLMs and 100 pre-built agent templates, BaiLian has empowered over 200,000 developers to create over 700,000 agents, demonstrating its significant impact on the AI ecosystem.

Alibaba Cloud is expanding its global infrastructure with new data centers in Malaysia and the Philippines, bringing its total to 29 regions. This expansion supports the growing demand for cloud and AI services. Additionally, Alibaba Cloud is launching a Global AI Capability Center to foster industry-AI collaboration and talent development, while also enhancing its AI technologies like PAI and DTS for international markets. New Intel-powered ECS instances are also rolling out globally.

The International Linked Data Benchmark Council’s (LDBC) latest Social Network Benchmark (SNB) results highlight Alibaba Cloud’s GraphScope Flex, achieving a record 80,510 queries per second (QPS), nearly doubling industry standards. Pioneering hardware-software stack designs, including sub-millisecond memory architecture, adaptive workload scheduling, and an advanced statistical GOpt optimization framework, eliminated technical barriers for enterprises. Recognized at SIGMOD 2025, this breakthrough positions graph technology for real-time fraud detection, personalized recommendations, and risk analysis amid projected $10B market growth by 2030.
