Datacenter Proxy Locations

IPRoyal Datacenter Proxy Advantages

Dedicated datacenter proxies (also known as DC proxies) are incredible at three things—speed, reliability, and price.

Fast datacenter proxies

Fast response times

Each datacenter proxy comes from a dedicated server with a top notch internet connection and hardware. They beat out every other proxy server in speed by a large margin.

Unlimited datacenter proxies

No downtimes

Since datacenter IPs are created in servers, which are nearly never shutdown, they easily achieve 99.9% uptime. Coupled with unlimited bandwidth, our dedicated IPs are a perfect candidate for long-term projects.

Cheap datacenter proxies

Lowest costs

Datacenter proxy IP addresses are often the cheapest due to them being easy to procure and manage. At IPRoyal, we also provide discounts for bulk purchases, making each IP address even cheaper.

Private datacenter proxies

Dedicated IPs

While some businesses create the cheapest datacenter proxies by letting any number of users use the same IP, our goal has always been to maximize quality and performance, so you can get the best datacenter proxy pool each time you make a purchase.

What Is a Datacenter Proxy?

Datacenter Servers vs Residential IPs

Datacenter proxies, like any other type, act as an intermediary between your computer and a destination server. Datacenter proxies are acquired from other businesses, which are running large clusters of servers. These servers are used to create many datacenter IP addresses at once.

Static datacenter proxies

Datacenter Proxy Benefits

While datacenter proxies are easier to detect than residential proxies, they are significantly faster and more stable. Data centers will usually have a better internet connection than any household while also being less prone to being turned off when compared to a regular internet user’s device. You can also choose proxies from a specific state or city, and stick to the same datacenter IP for longer than a residential proxy.

Cheap dedicated proxies

Dedicated vs Shared Datacenter Proxies

Additionally, some datacenter proxy providers sell both dedicated and shared datacenter proxies. Shared datacenter proxies allow many different users to use the same IP address. We believe that dedicated datacenter IPs are best as they allow you to take full advantage of the speed and reliability that unlimited datacenter proxies provide.

FAQ

Are datacenter proxies legal?

Yes, all datacenter proxies are acquired through a contract between two businesses. Using them is also legal as long as the activity itself is legal.

What are datacenter proxies used for?

Datacenter proxies are widely used wherever speed, reliability, and low costs are important. While their geo-targeting features are weaker when compared to residential proxies, if the former is not important, datacenter proxies can be used for web scraping, ad verification, brand protection, and much more.

What are dedicated datacenter proxies?

A dedicated datacenter proxy differs from a shared one only by virtue of how many users can use the same IP address at once. Dedicated proxies are granted to a single user while shared may have many users at once. They are also sometimes called private datacenter proxies as you can use the same IP address for a long time without other users making use of it.

What are the best types of proxies?

Usually, it’s best to understand your use case and its requirements to find the best proxy. If you don’t need precise geo-targeting or residential IPs, datacenter proxies will be a great match. If residential IPs are required, but speed is not as important, residential proxies work great. If all features are required, ISP proxies will be your best bet.

Should I use free datacenter proxies?

Free datacenter proxies can be tempting, however, most of them will be shared, at the very least. Performance will definitely take a hit and you’ll likely be missing many vital features such as the selection of datacenter proxy network locations or static IP addresses. That’s the best case scenario. With free datacenter proxies you’ll also likely leak data to the provider who might decide to sell that information to third parties. So, you’ll be paying with your data instead of money. So, the best budget datacenter proxies are those that you pay for directly as they’ll give you better performance, reliability, and security.

How do I get started with proxies?

Setting up our unlimited datacenter proxies is extremely simple and quick. We’ve created a few quick resources to help you get started such as our step-by-step datacenter proxy quick-start guide.

What is the difference between ISP and datacenter proxies?

ISP proxies are stored in data centers, but have an IP address that’s registered to an Internet Service Provider. They combine the benefits of residential and datacenter proxies into one package, providing speed, reliability, and low detection rates. Additionally, they’ll also usually be static datacenter proxies, allowing you to take advantage of all these features according to your own needs.

Are datacenter proxies detectable?

Detection capabilities will depend upon the website, but, in general, datacenter proxies can be detected more easily than residential IPs. Datacenter proxy servers have IPs that originated from business-owned machines, which makes them seem a little more suspicious. As such, some websites may choose to ban datacenter proxy IPs earlier than those of residential proxies.

Are proxies safer than a VPN?

Yes and no. A proxy IP is usually less well known to large websites, so they often won’t know you’re using one to connect to them while some household name VPNs are carefully monitored, allowing websites to know you’re using one. On the other hand, VPNs do come with numerous additional security features which may be beneficial.

What is the difference between a VPN and a proxy server?

Both technologies have an almost identical underlying principle – they reroute your traffic through a remote server. You can, however, get a much larger proxy server pool than any VPN will provide, allowing you to freely switch between IPs without ever running out, but VPNs will often be easier to use for regular users and have some additional security features.
