Datacenter proxies: fixed addresses for tolerant targets

A datacenter proxy is a static address on a hosting network, served from server racks. Targets can tell it is not a home connection. For plenty of work that makes no difference, and what you get is a fixed address, rented per IP for the term you pick. It is the cheaper of the two static lines.

Who it is for

• Uptime checks and synthetic monitoring.
• APIs and partner systems that allowlist your IP.
• Collection from sites that accept server traffic.
• Internal tools that need a fixed egress per region.

Who it is not for

Large retail, ticketing and social platforms tend to filter hosting ranges. If a plain request from a server gets challenged there, start on ISP proxies: static IPs on a carrier you name instead. Anything that must look like a home connection belongs there too.

What you choose

• The location: country, plus region and city where stock allows. There is no provider selection; naming the provider is what ISP is for.
• The plan: dedicated, shared or premium. See Dedicated, shared or premium: the three static plans.
• The term and the quantity, from one IP.

Billing

Per IP, per month, with the whole term paid at checkout from your balance. Longer terms lower the monthly rate. A dedicated IP has no bandwidth cap, so a monitor that polls all day costs the same as one that polls hourly. Rates are on the datacenter pricing page.

Delivery and after

IPs are assigned from live stock and appear in your dashboard once the order is paid and set up. Each one is an endpoint of its own; see Connecting to an ISP or datacenter IP. The address is yours until the term ends; see Renewing ISP and datacenter IPs to keep it longer.
