Frequently asked questions

How do datacenter proxies work?

Shared datacenter proxies route your internet traffic through servers located in data centers. These servers act as intermediaries between you and the websites you visit, masking your real IP address and providing you with a different IP.

Are datacenter proxies detectable?

Datacenter proxies are ideal for large-volume web scraping or automation tasks where some risk of detection is acceptable. Their high bandwidth suits big data applications.

What is the difference between ISP and DCH?

If you want to know if one IP address has been classified as a residential IP address, you can use the free IP2Location demo and look under the usage type section. If it is “ISP” or “ISP/MOB”, then it is a residential IP address. It is a data center range if the result is “DCH”.

Why do datacenter proxies matter?

On top of increasing website speeds, data center proxies also make user and bot requests anonymous. Because data center proxies are not affiliated with internet service providers (ISPs), any attempt to understand where a website request came from leads to the IP of the data center, and not the original request. Data center proxies provide anonymity.Additionally, using the IPs of data center proxies is cheap when compared to other types of IPs.
