Datacenter proxies
Datacenter proxies exit from hosting networks. They are built for speed and volume on targets that do not reject server ranges.
A datacenter proxy is an IP announced by a hosting provider or a cloud network. Routing is short and throughput is high. That is why crawlers start here.
The same hosting flag is why protected sites refuse these ranges. If a target already blocks the subnet, switch to residential proxies. Run a sample through the proxy checker before you buy a large plan.

How to choose
Choose allocation first. A dedicated address is assigned to you for the term. A shared address is used by other customers at the same time. Dedicated IPs are easier to keep clean for repeated hits on one host. Shared IPs are cheaper and inherit whatever the last user did.
Plan for blocks. Open directories, public APIs, and your own origin usually accept datacenter traffic. Retail sites, search, and anything with a bot score often do not. Buy a small batch, crawl a representative URL set, and only then scale.
Pick IPv4 unless you already know the target speaks IPv6. Dual-stack listings still fail when the destination has no AAAA record. IPv6 can be a fit for networks that publish it. Do not assume a v6-only proxy will reach a v4-only site.
Match the product to the job. Datacenter IPs fit bulk crawling, uptime checks, and SEO monitors on tolerant hosts. They are a poor fit for account login and for anything that scores ASN reputation. Keep them in the mix as the cheap lane, not as the only lane.
Frequently asked questions
What are datacenter proxies?
Datacenter proxies are endpoints whose exit IPs live in hosting or cloud networks. They are fast, easy to provision, and easy for anti-bot systems to label as servers.
What is the difference between dedicated and shared datacenter IPs?
Dedicated means the address is reserved for your account during the rental. Shared means other customers can exit through the same IP. Shared is cheaper. Dedicated gives you a quieter reputation if you treat the address well.
When do sites block datacenter proxies?
Sites block them when they classify the ASN as hosting and they care about automation. Search, large retailers, and many login walls do this. Public documentation, status pages, and your own servers usually do not.
Should I buy IPv4 or IPv6 datacenter proxies?
Buy IPv4 for general crawling because most targets still answer on IPv4. Buy IPv6 when you control both ends or when the destination publishes IPv6. A dual listing is only useful if you can select the version.
What are datacenter proxies best used for?
Use them for high-volume crawls, availability checks, and light scraping on hosts that allow server traffic. Check a sample with the proxy checker, then move protected targets to residential.
