Datacenter

Datacenter proxies use IPs that belong to hosting providers. They are the fastest and the most affordable way to send a lot of requests, and they suit every target that accepts traffic from data centers.

Connection details#

curl -x http://USERNAME:[email protected]:777 https://api.ipify.org

Pool and rotation#

Datacenter exits come from a US pool, so there is no location to pick and no parameter to add to the username. Each new connection can leave from a different IP, and the proxy generator builds rotating lines for this product.

Billing#

Datacenter offers two billing modes on the purchase page:

• Bandwidth: pay per GB and use it any time, from 1 GB.
• Speed × Time: reserve a speed for a fixed period, with no gigabyte cap. Choose 10, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1,000 or 2,000 Mbps, for 1, 7, 30, 60 or 90 days. Longer periods cost less per day.

The speed is the limit for the whole plan: all connections together share the Mbps you reserved. See the pricing page for the rates.

Speed × Time pays off when you push traffic around the clock. For bursts or irregular jobs, per-GB billing is usually cheaper.

Examples#

curl -x http://USERNAME:[email protected]:777 https://api.ipify.org

curl -x socks5h://USERNAME:[email protected]:666 https://api.ipify.org

from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor
import requests

proxy = "http://USERNAME:[email protected]:777"
proxies = {"http": proxy, "https": proxy}

def fetch(url):
    return requests.get(url, proxies=proxies, timeout=30).status_code

urls = ["https://example.com/"] * 20
with ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=10) as pool:
    print(list(pool.map(fetch, urls)))

Good fits#

• APIs, feeds and sites without strict bot protection.
• Monitoring uptime, prices or content at a high rate.
• Bulk downloads where speed decides the cost.
• Testing and development before moving a job to residential IPs.

When to switch#

Large consumer sites often recognise datacenter ranges and answer with blocks, captchas or 403 pages. If that happens on a target, try Shared ISP, which keeps datacenter speed on ISP-registered addresses, or Residential for the hardest sites.

Opening ports#

The ports 777 and 666 are unusual, and some firewalls block outgoing connections to them. If connections time out from a server or an office network, test the port as shown in Endpoints and ports.
