Datacenter Proxies

  1. What are Datacenter Proxies, and how do they differ from other types of proxies?

    • Answer: Datacenter Proxies are IP addresses provided by data centers, offering high speed and reliability for tasks like web scraping. Unlike residential proxies, datacenter proxies do not come from internet service providers (ISPs) and are not associated with a particular physical location.

  2. How can Datacenter Proxies help with web scraping?

    • Answer: Datacenter Proxies provide a fast and reliable pool of IPs, which are essential for efficient web scraping. They allow you to rotate or stick to specific IPs, use unlimited threads, and access a large pool of 150K IPs from top-tier countries, ensuring high-speed data extraction without interruptions. They are always online, but due to their accessible price you may find that they are blocked on more popular targets. They work best with smaller websites and applications.

  3. What is the cost structure for Datacenter Proxies?

    • Answer: Datacenter Proxies get low as $0.79 per GB upon buying bigger traffic packages. This cost-effective pricing makes them an excellent choice for users needing large volumes of data.

Residential Proxies

  1. What makes Residential Proxies unique?

    • Answer: Residential Proxies are IPs assigned by ISPs to homeowners. They offer high-quality, unique residential IPs that appear as regular user traffic, making them ideal for tasks requiring high anonymity and a lower risk of detection.

  2. Can I target specific locations with Residential Proxies?

    • Answer: Yes, Residential Proxies allow for city and state-level targeting across the biggest countries, providing granular control over the geographical location of your IP addresses. We also feature a total of over 130+ available countries for selection.

  3. What is the pricing for Residential Proxies?

    • Answer: Residential Proxies get as low as $3.49 per GB when buying larger packages, providing access to a vast pool of over 30 million IPs. This makes them a versatile option for users who need high-quality, geographically diverse IPs.

Static ISP Proxies

  1. What are Static ISP Proxies, and when should I use them?

    • Answer: Static ISP Proxies are dedicated IP addresses that offer the stability of a static IP combined with the authenticity of residential IPs. They are ideal for long-term tasks that require consistent IP addresses, such as managing social media accounts or accessing geo-restricted content.

  2. Do Static ISP Proxies come with unlimited traffic?

    • Answer: Yes, Static ISP Proxies come with unlimited traffic, allowing you to use them as much as needed without worrying about data limits.

  3. How are Static ISP Proxies priced?

    • Answer: Static ISP Proxies are priced at $1.50 per IP. This pricing model is beneficial for users who need dedicated IP addresses without worrying about fluctuating traffic costs.

General

  1. Can I switch between rotating and sticky sessions with these proxies?

    • Answer: Yes, for Datacenter and Residential we offer the flexibility to choose between rotating IPs or sticking to a single IP during a session. This allows you to adapt to different use cases, whether you need constant IP changes or a steady connection. ISP Proxies only have static addresses instead, and you will have to manually rotate between them if you need.
