Datacenter proxies
Server IPs, and no pretense about it. The fastest and cheapest way to move volume, for every target that does not care who is asking. Most of the web still does not.
$0.60/GB
Tiers to $0.35/GB. Dedicated IPs $1.40/IP/mo. Metered on delivered traffic only.
Why start here
The proxy you should try first.
Every request through a datacenter exit costs about a seventh of residential. Latency is a machine on a backbone instead of a laptop on hotel Wi-Fi. Throughput is whatever your side can push. For APIs, feeds, sitemaps, unprotected storefronts and most of the long tail of the web, this is simply the correct tool, and anyone steering you to residential for those jobs is optimizing their invoice.
The limit is just as plain: these ranges are publicly registered as hosting. A target that checks, blocks, and you will see it as 403s, CAPTCHAs or quiet empty responses. When your success rate on a target drops below what retries can absorb, stop paying for retries and move that one target up a tier. Keep everything else here.

- Username and password, or IP allowlist
Fit
Right tool, wrong tool.
Use it for
- APIs, feeds and anything that publishes data on purpose
- High-volume crawls of unprotected sites, where cost per TB decides the project
- Internal QA, geo checks and monitoring your own properties
- First attempt on any new target: find out cheaply whether it even resists
Move up a tier for
- Retail, travel and marketplace sites with bot defense: residential
- Anything that needs to hold a trusted identity: ISP
- Social platforms and mobile app APIs: mobile
The test is empirical, not theoretical: run 1 GB here first. If the success rate holds, you have just cut that job's proxy bill by 85%.
Shared or dedicated
Two ways to hold a server IP.
The shared pool rotates you across our ranges and bills per gigabyte: zero commitment, right for crawling. Dedicated IPs are static addresses only you use, at $1.40 per IP per month: right for API allowlists, stable webhook sources, and services that rate-limit per IP, where a neighbor's traffic must never count against you.
Dedicated allocations are spread across distinct subnets by default, because ranges get blocked wholesale and your allocation should not share that fate in one stroke. We police the shared pool the same way we police everything: customers are vetted before entry, and abuse gets cut off fast, because on shared infrastructure one bad actor taxes everyone else.

Pricing
Datacenter tiers
Price breaks apply to the size of a single purchase. Traffic does not expire while your account is open.
Dedicated IPs are $1.40 per IP per month, any quantity, monthly terms. Past 5 TB a month, talk to us; at that scale routing and peering start to matter and the quote should reflect your traffic, not a rate card.
Questions
Fair questions about cheap IPs.
Is the shared pool full of other people's abuse?
That is the failure mode of every cheap pool, and vetting is how we avoid it: nobody gets credentials without telling us what they collect, and traffic that breaks the acceptable use policy gets cut, not warned twice. We also watch pool health from the outside the way you would: block rates against common targets, blocklist appearances, complaint volume. A shared pool is a commons. We run it like one.
Why is your datacenter price not the lowest I can find?
It never will be. Datacenter bandwidth at the absolute floor comes from oversold pools with no admission control, and the price you save comes back as block pages. We price at the point where we can keep the pool policed and still answer your ticket in four hours. If pure floor price is genuinely what your job needs, a budget reseller is the honest recommendation, and some jobs really are like that.
Can I mix datacenter with residential in one job?
You should. The standard pattern is tiered: everything hits datacenter first, and only the requests that come back blocked retry through residential. One credential set works across all four gateways, so the tiering is a port number in your retry logic. The quickstart shows the pattern; for most mixed workloads it lands the blended cost near the datacenter price.
IPv4 or IPv6?
IPv4 everywhere by default, because the web you are collecting from still is. IPv6 pools exist for targets that support them properly and price out dramatically cheaper; if you know your target list serves v6 cleanly, ask and we will set it up.
Start at $0.60. Escalate only where you must.
The cheapest proxy that holds your success rate is the right one. Find it empirically.
