Datacenter Proxies

What are datacenter proxies?

A datacenter proxy is an IP address that belongs to a hosting provider's range rather than a consumer ISP. Because the IPs live on server infrastructure, they offer the highest speeds and lowest latency of any proxy type — at the lowest price per IP.

The trade-off is that some targets flag hosting ranges. Directories, e-commerce catalogs, real-estate listings, search monitoring, and most public APIs accept datacenter IPs fine; sneaker retail and social platforms usually do not.

What makes a datacenter proxy provider actually cheap?

Look at the delivered cost per working proxy, not the headline price. Flat per-proxy pricing with unlimited bandwidth means a heavy crawl costs the same as a light one — no per-GB meters, no overage charges, no minimum commitments. Tensor Proxies starts at $0.32 per proxy and scales down to $0.14 at volume.

Metered providers punish exactly what proxy buyers do most: high request volume. Teams pulling tens of gigabytes a month routinely pay more in bandwidth overage elsewhere than the entire flat-rate package costs here.

When should I use datacenter vs static residential proxies?

Run everything on datacenter proxies first, and move only the targets that block hosting ranges onto static residential ISP proxies. A common production split is 80/20: bulk volume on datacenter IPs, ban-prone targets on residential ISP IPs at $0.60 per proxy.

How fast is delivery and what format do I get?

Orders go through Stripe checkout, are quality-checked by a human, and credentials arrive by email in IP:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD format. That plugs directly into Scrapy, Playwright, Puppeteer, curl, or any HTTP client with proxy support.
