Datacenter proxies

Static IP$0.03/IP/mo

Datacenter proxies are addresses on hosting networks. You usually buy a list of IPs per month, not a gigabyte. They are fast and cheap. They are also the first thing a careful site blocks.

Our reading

Who this type is for

Start on datacenter when the target is unprotected and you need volume: your own sites, open pages, monitoring that does not fingerprint the ASN. Leave when the block page shows up. Buying residential ‘just in case’ before you have a block is how proxy bills get silly.

Buy it if High-volume collection of pages that accept hosting IPs, uptime checks, and workloads where bandwidth on a static list is effectively unmetered.

Skip it if The target already blocks datacenter ASNs, you need a household or carrier reputation, or you wanted a per-GB residential product and clicked the wrong menu.

Trade-offs

Pros and cons of Datacenter proxies

What this type is for, and when it is the wrong bill.

Strengths

  • The cheapest published unit in the catalog, per IP per month
  • Latency is typically lower than residential or mobile
  • A static list is easy to put in a client and leave alone
  • Shared plans let a test start under a few dollars

Limits

  • Hosting ASNs are classified. Many commercial sites reject them
  • Shared IPs mean someone else’s traffic shares your reputation
  • Dedicated datacenter is a different price from the $0.03 shared cell
  • Unlimited bandwidth on a tiny plan often is not. Read the GB cap

Per IP is not per GB

People lose comparisons by putting a datacenter IP next to a residential gigabyte and declaring a winner. One is a leased address. The other is a bandwidth meter. If your job is a million small requests to a site that does not care who you are, the leased address wins on cost. If the site sorts ASNs, the leased address never starts.

Webshare is the only datacenter row in this sample with a public entry price I am willing to print. Bright Data and Oxylabs sell datacenter too. Their residential stickers are not copied into those rows.

How I would buy it

  1. 01

    Confirm the target allows hosting IPs

    One request from a datacenter IP you already have is a better test than a blog.

  2. 02

    Separate shared and dedicated

    The floor price is shared. If the address must be yours alone, read the dedicated column.

  3. 03

    Read the bandwidth cap

    A cheap IP with 1 GB of transfer is a sample, not a workload.
