Best Datacenter Proxies

✓ last verified 2026-08-07 · every figure read from the provider’s live pricing page on that date · how we verify

Datacenter is the workhorse: no residential camouflage, maximum speed per dollar. Verified rates run $0.30–$0.50/GB pooled and about $1–$1.50 per IP dedicated. If your target doesn’t fingerprint ASNs, everything else is overpay.

FAQ

When are datacenter proxies enough?

When the target doesn’t score ASNs: most B2B sites, feeds, directories, public datasets. Test datacenter first; escalate to residential only on block evidence — it’s a 3–10× cost difference (verified $0.30–$0.50/GB vs $1.00–$4.00/GB).

IPv4 vs IPv6 datacenter proxies?

IPv6 is dramatically cheaper (verified from $0.02/IP at Proxy-Seller, $0.15/mo at Proxy-Cheap) but many targets don’t route it or throttle it. Buy IPv6 only for targets you’ve confirmed serve it.

Shared or dedicated datacenter IPs?

Shared pools risk neighbor abuse (pre-burned IPs); dedicated at a verified ~$1–$1.50/IP removes that variable for pennies.
