Dedicated, shared or premium: the three static plans
Updated 2 min read
ISP and datacenter IPs are sold on three plans. Dedicated suits most static-IP work, and the order form marks it Most popular. The plan is picked under Which plan? when you order, and the rates for each are on the ISP pricing and datacenter pricing pages.
| Dedicated | Shared | Premium | |

A fresh IP no customer has used before |
Dedicated
The address carries only your traffic and has no bandwidth cap, so a job that runs all day costs the same as one that runs hourly. Pick it for accounts, allowlists and anything where another customer's behaviour on the same IP would be a problem.
Shared
The cheapest way to hold a static address. Each IP includes 1 GB of traffic. Size it up front: you can add more when you order, in the Extra bandwidth field. Bandwidth used on the proxy's Capacity card shows how much is spent.
Premium
A dedicated IP that has not been used by another customer before. Pick it when an address's history matters to the target.
Which one?
- Logins, partner allowlists, long sessions: dedicated.
- Light, occasional jobs on a budget: shared, and watch the allowance.
- Targets that judge an address by its past: premium.
Shared traffic you use, including the included allowance, is not refundable. See Refunds: what comes back, where it goes, how to ask.
