A datacenter proxy is a type of proxy that operates through IP addresses generated from data center servers. These IP addresses are assigned to servers hosted in data centers by cloud providers or hosting companies.
While residential proxies use real ISP residential IP addresses, datacenter proxies use IPs derived from data center infrastructure. This fundamental difference gives datacenter proxies the highest speed (1+ Gbps), lowest ping (1-5ms) and most affordable price.
Datacenter proxies are ideal for web scraping, bulk data collection, SEO monitoring, price tracking and API testing. Anti-bot systems can detect datacenter IPs; therefore residential proxy should be preferred for social media and high-security platforms.
