Which proxy type for which job

One account and one set of credentials cover every proxy type. They differ in where the address comes from, which decides which targets let you through and how you are billed. Each page says when it is the wrong choice, too.

  • Residential $5.50/GB
  • ISP dedicated $3.20/IP/mo
  • Datacenter dedicated $1.90/IP/mo
Three sources of addresses: Residential from household connections; ISP from consumer isp, on servers; Datacenter from hosting networks. All three are reached from one account with one set of credentials.Where the address comes fromResidentialHouseholdconnectionsISPConsumer ISP,on serversDatacenterHostingnetworksOne accountone set of credentials

Datacenter costs less than ISP at every order size. The ISP rate pays for an address registered to a consumer provider.
