This guide focuses on three recommended products: static ISP, native static residential and datacenter proxies. Identify the network attributes, region and duration your task requires, then compare plans and test real access.
Step 1: Answer three questions
- How long will you use the IP? Decide whether the task is a short test or ongoing operation. Check the fixed IP plan’s duration, expiration and renewal arrangements, along with exit stability during continuous work.
- Which region and network type are required? Identify the region and whether the task needs ISP residential attributes, a native local residential network, or accepts datacenter networks. Check location and network type separately.
- What is the task scale and connection method? Estimate the number of IPs used at once, duration and data transfer. Check the protocols and authentication methods your browser or application supports.
Step 2: Compare the products
| Product | Exit IP behavior | Needs to consider first | Plan selection factors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Static ISP | Fixed IP with ISP residential attributes | Everyday store management, ongoing business access | IP quantity and duration |
| Native static residential | Fixed exit with greater emphasis on local ISP and location matching | Localized operations, streaming, specific regional network identity | Region, IP quantity and duration |
| Datacenter | Datacenter network resources; the site offers static plans | General web access, network monitoring, automated testing | IP quantity, duration and performance needs |
Rotating residential and 4G/5G mobile products are in internal planning. Current selection and purchase recommendations focus on static ISP, native static residential and datacenter proxies.
Step 3: Match the product to your workflow
Store and everyday social media operations: static ISP
Evaluate static ISP proxies first when you need a fixed exit and a consistent everyday access environment. They suit tasks balancing ISP residential attributes and operating costs. Establish the region and duration before choosing the IP quantity.
Localized operations and streaming: native static residential
Evaluate native static residential proxies when matching the IP location and local ISP attributes matters more. Consider them for local operations, streaming and regional presentation checks. Validate the specific region against the target service before purchasing.
Network monitoring and automation: datacenter
Evaluate datacenter proxies when the target accepts datacenter networks and throughput, response performance and cost efficiency are priorities. They suit general web access, public data processing, monitoring and automated testing. Start with a small test using your actual workflow.
Static ISP or native static residential?
Both serve tasks that need a fixed exit. The distinction concerns network resource attributes and regional matching requirements, beyond the subscription duration.
- Static ISP: Consider this for a consistent exit that balances residential attributes with everyday operating costs.
- Native static residential: Consider this when matching the IP location and local ISP attributes matters more. Validate the specific region and target service.
- How to decide: Check the current product description, available regions and plan conditions. Test the actual workflow before committing based on the product name alone.
Compare usage and total cost
- Static products: Plans are generally selected by IP quantity and duration. Alongside unit price, consider how many fixed exits you need, for how long, and subsequent renewals.
- Performance and regional conditions: Compare resource availability, bandwidth and plan terms in the target region. For frequent access or large transfers, measure response times, transfer performance and resource use before scaling.
- Performance metrics: Concurrency describes simultaneous connections, bandwidth describes transfer rate, and traffic describes the total data transferred. Check each separately; one metric does not establish the limits of the others.
Current prices, stock, protocols, authentication options, bandwidth, traffic allowances and validity periods are specified on the purchase page and in the dashboard.
Validate with a small quantity before scaling
- Confirm regional availability and the supported protocols and authentication methods.
- Check the exit IP, region and target pages in the actual browser or application, beyond testing whether the endpoint is reachable.
- For continuous use of one exit, verify IP behavior across consecutive tasks and confirm plan validity and renewals.
- Record response times, completed task volume and resource consumption before adding IPs or traffic.
- Confirm static resource expiration, renewal options and required quantity. Budget for continued access when planning long-running work.
Once you have chosen a product, continue with “Usage guide” to obtain connection details, configure your tool and test access. If you need help choosing, tell support the target region, fixed IP requirements, tool and expected usage.
