Question 1

What are datacenter proxies?

Answer

Datacenter proxies are remote computers with their own IP addresses. They act as an intermediary between you and the target website: instead of connecting to the website directly, your request goes via proxies to hide any identifying personal information.

DC proxies share subnets which makes them easier to block compared to the more resilient residential proxies. However, since datacenter proxies are running on insanely fast machines, their connection speed and stability are definitely better – and speed can sometimes be the most important factor for your scraping projects.

Question 2

Can I track my proxy usage?

Answer

Yes, you can. Once you have a subscription plan in the dashboard, go to the subusers tab and create a subuser. You will be able to set limits, dedicate traffic for different tasks, locations, etc. for every proxy user.

Question 3

What are the differences between the two pricing models for datacenter proxies?

Answer

We offer two pricing models based on your needs: Pay per IP allows you to pay for a specific number of datacenter IPs (starting from 100 IPs) and GBs (starting from 50 GB) in chosen locations; Pay per GB lets you get unlimited IPs while paying for the traffic (bandwidth) only.

Question 4

What payment methods do you accept?

Answer

We accept payments with credit cards, PayPal, Alipay, Google Pay, and Apple Pay. You can also pay with cryptocurrency for all products except ISP proxies and datacenter proxies (Pay per IP option).

All orders are processed by our online reseller Paddle.com which is a Merchant of Record for these orders. To contact Paddle’s support team, reach out via Paddle.net.

Question 5

Where can I use datacenter proxies?

Answer

You can use our proxies with almost any application that supports HTTP/HTTPS Proxies. Smartproxy IP addresses work great with all search engines, ScrapeBox, and many other bots.

Question 6

Do datacenter proxies work for scraping?

Answer

Using datacenter proxies for most scraping tasks is more efficient. We allow our clients to use datacenter proxies for data scraping tasks, but we recommend using residential proxies, as they have more quality IP addresses that have much higher scraping success rates.
