Reliable Dedicated Datacenter Proxies

If you’ve stumbled upon dedicated datacenter proxies, we bet you already have some experience with datacenter IPs and you know they’re cheap; stable; fast, and furious. Now, whether you need DDC or residential proxies depends on the sites you target, the goals of your scraping projects, and, yup, your skills.

For less experienced users, residential proxies are the best choice since it is extremely hard to block them. On the other hand, if you’re an old proxy wolf and you need speed and scale, DDC proxies may be a cost-saving solution. Just have in mind that residential IPs are always better for certain projects, such as scraping social media, harvesting data from Google, or copping sneakers.

As always, Smartproxy uses a subscription-based pricing model. Currently, there are four subscriptions for the main customer base. Our plans are billed monthly. For more information on pricing, visit our pricing page.

No, you can’t track your dedicated proxy usage. But why do you even need that? These proxies are unlimited. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the never-ending gigabytes of traffic.

We don’t rotate dedicated proxies, nor do we have any automatic rotators for dedicated datacenter proxies, so they’re fully static. If you’re looking for rotating proxy servers, we recommend shared datacenter proxies. They are pretty unbeatable since they have over 100  subnetworks and change IP addresses randomly. For elite performance, try Smartproxy’s residential proxies.

These proxies are perfectly flexible. You can use them with basically all devices that support HTTP/HTTPS proxies.

Yes, our DDC proxies support SOCKS5 and HTTP(S) protocols.

Yeah, however harsh that may sound, we need to set up a block or two when greedy scrapers force us to. The following sites and all those related to them are blocked for DDC proxies: 

• Netflix 
• PlayStation 
• RiotGames 
• Roblox 
• Minecraft 
• EpicGames 
• Spotify 
• government (.gov) websites

No. As a general rule, an IP address or an entire subnet can be blocked for a couple of hours. It can also depend on a website. For example, Google has a 1-hour ban, Amazon might be blocked for 2 hours, and some websites may even have a much longer ban (in some very rare cases up to 6 months).

On a final note here, we can also block a website for a specific IP address or subnet if we feel that there’s a risk. In such cases, always contact our customer support.

After an IP is returned from the customer to the global pool, it remains in quarantine, i.e. we won’t assign it to any customer for 14 days. Why are we doing this? Well, that’s due to potential CAPTCHAs, blocked targets, and general browsing history. PS: the period of 14 days might be altered in the future.

Dedicated datacenter proxies speed test is based on datacenter IPs due to the significant similarities of origin. Speed was tested using Python requests and time libraries by noting the time before sending a request and after receiving a response. We sent 500 requests per endpoint to the http://ipinfo.io/ip website. After receiving 500 HTTP 200 response codes, we divided the total time by 500 to determine the average response time. Requests were sent from a US VPN server when connecting to US proxies. The test was conducted using a rotating session type with Python 3.9.6. version. Check the Python code example in our help docs.
