When it fits

  • The site loads fine from a server, and you need to appear somewhere else.
  • You are learning how proxies work and want something inexpensive to experiment with.
  • You call public APIs, docs or forums at a steady pace and want to spread the load over a few addresses.
  • You check your own site or shop from other countries to see what visitors there see.

Better elsewhere

  • You hit captchas, empty pages or instant blocks. The site is filtering hosting networks, and more datacenter IPs will not change that.

    Look at Residential
  • The site checks whether an address belongs to a consumer provider, or you need to pick the provider yourself. ISP costs more, and that registration is what you pay for.

    Look at ISP

What you get

Country, region and city

Choose where each IP sits when you order. Provider choice is not offered on this line.

Fixed terms

Terms of 30, 60, 90 or 365 days, with a discount on the longer ones. The IP keeps working for the whole term.

Budget for renewals

Renewing is charged at the entry rate of $1.90/IP, even when your first order qualified for a lower volume step.

Connect in minutes

Every datacenter IP you rent is listed on its service page in the dashboard, with a port and login. Swap them into a snippet below and run it to see the address a website will see.

curl -x http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT https://ipv4.icanhazip.com

HOST, PORT, USERNAME and PASSWORD are placeholders. The real values for each service are on its page in your dashboard, with the protocols its port accepts.

Each snippet asks ipv4.icanhazip.com which address it sees, so a successful run prints the proxy’s IP.

Questions about Datacenter

Can websites tell this is a datacenter IP?

Many can, since the ranges hosting companies use are public. Plenty of sites do not mind. The ones that do tend to answer with captchas or blocks, and that is the sign to try residential.

Can I choose the country?

Yes, along with the region and city, when you place the order.

Will other customers use my IP?

Only on a shared tier, where up to 3 customers use one address. On a dedicated tier the IP is kept for you.

What happens when the term ends?

The service stops unless you renew it before then. Renewals are charged at the entry rate per IP.

How many IPs should I start with?

1 IP is enough to see whether a target accepts datacenter traffic. Once it does, a larger single order lowers the rate per IP.

Do I need special software?

No. Any client that can use an HTTP or HTTPS proxy will work, which covers curl, Python requests, Node and most scraping tools.
