What is a Datacenter Proxy?

A datacenter proxy is a type of proxy server that provides an IP address from a datacenter rather than one linked to an internet service provider (ISP). Like all proxy types, datacenter proxies:
  • Hide your real IP address
  • Change your digital location
  • Route your traffic through an intermediary server before it reaches the internet

​
Key Characteristics

Datacenter proxies are hosted in commercial datacenters and have several distinctive features:
  • High Speed: Typically offer the fastest connection speeds among proxy types
  • Unlimited Bandwidth: No data transfer limitations
  • Stability: Highly reliable connections with minimal downtime
  • Cost-Effective: Generally less expensive than residential or ISP proxies
  • Datacenter ASN: Use IP addresses with Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) from datacenter networks

​
Benefits and Use Cases

Datacenter proxies excel in many scenarios:
  • Web Scraping: Perfect for high-volume data collection projects
  • Market Research: Gather competitive intelligence efficiently
  • SEO Monitoring: Track search rankings across different locations
  • Automation: Support bots and automated tasks with reliable connections
  • Load Testing: Test website performance under various conditions

​
Limitations

While powerful, datacenter proxies do have some limitations to consider:
  • Detection Risk: Some websites can detect and block datacenter IPs
  • Less Legitimacy: Don’t appear as regular consumer connections
  • Geographic Precision: Less accurate geo-targeting than residential proxies
