Tired of aimlessly searching for datacenter proxies?
Look no more!
Here’re top picks of shared and dedicated datacenter proxy providers.
If you're set on using free services, some reliable providers offer free though limited
access to their IP pool.
One example is Razorproxy.
To get free IPs, fill in the registration form - the link is in the description - and
Razorproxy's support will respond with the credentials.
You’ll get access to a pool with thousands of datacenter proxies in the US.
They rotate automatically and have no thread or target restrictions.
The only limit is traffic.
But 500 MBs is still enough to deal with small tasks.
Note that it's a one-off deal.
Once you burn through the free traffic, you'll have to buy a paid plan.
Even so, their shared or dedicated IPs are way cheaper than for larger competitors.
So it’s worth giving it a go.
If traffic limits are a dealbreaker, Webshare gives 1 GB of free data every month.
Register, and you'll immediately unlock a free list of 10 static datacenter IPs from
four locations: the US, Brazil, Germany, and Spain.
Webshare also offers to rotate these proxies automatically.
But effectiveness will be limited by the small number of IPs.
That's still a nice touch, though.
And of course, you can upgrade to paid plans.
Needless to say, with more projects, free plans won't be enough.
Next level-up is paid shared datacenter proxies.
They're speedy, relatively cheap, and without traffic limits.
Yet, you'll have to share an IP with multiple users at once.
There’s no difference with small-scope scraping.
Though, sneaker copping or managing social media accounts is a no-go with shared DCs.
Wanna more bang for your buck?
Go with Smartproxy's service.
No matter the plan, you'll get access to over 100K IPs in the US and Europe.
There's no target limit, and you can make as many connections or threads as you like.
Oh, and sticky sessions are included.
But keep an eye on bandwidth or you'll have to pay extra for exceeding limits.
By the way, Smartproxy also offers dedicated IPs.
They’re located only in the US.
Though, unlimited traffic and connections are included.
Another great pick for shared datacenter IPs is Anonymous Proxies.
It's a veteran proxy provider that's been alive and kicking since 2010.
Anonymous-Proxies sells traditional datacenter IP lists which you share with several other
people.
Price starts from a buck per address, and you can handpick each DC proxy yourself.
That's right, you get to choose every IP, with its country, subnet, and other info.
Though we've seen some negative user reviews floating around.
So, I suggest testing your IPs before working on any projects to avoid data theft or falling
for IPs that don’t work.
We've made a beginner's guide on proxy testing.
You can find the video here and in the description.
But sharing isn't always the same as caring.
So for complete efficiency use dedicated datacenter IPs.
These proxies are almost always sold as single addresses, and naturally, there're only static
IP options.
Yet, it’s the right choice if you need more control and connection consistency for, let’s
say, managing multiple stealth accounts.
Our top dedicated DC proxy provider is Oxylabs.
With the largest IP pool in the world, the provider offers a premium service …well…
for a premium price.
The cheapest plan gives you 100 proxies in the US or 60 IPs worldwide.
Yet, you can get an account manager who will gladly fine-tune the plan based on your requirements.
When you sign up, don't miss out on an add-on to rotate the IPs and a proxy replacement
API.
Next in line is Bright Data with top-notch proxy performance.
And I don't exaggerate when I say they offer every feature for every need.
Like setting domain limits or handpicking datacenter proxies that have been cooled down
for some time.
For your convenience, plans also include a powerful proxy manager and access to an API.
Such versatility is tough to find elsewhere.
But nothing comes for free.
Wanna unlimited traffic or accessing more than one domain?
Pay extra.
Oh, and the prices do bite.
I get that costly plans aren’t for everyone.
So why not go for Rayobyte, a DC proxy provider to the core?
Most IPs are hosted on their own infrastructure, ensuring great performance.
Yet, the system automatically assigns proxies from various subnets.
So when you run into IPs that don’t work, you’ll have to refresh it manually.
There's also an API for developers.
But beware that the plans get pretty expensive on the higher end of their range.
