What are Datacenter Proxies?

This article explains server proxies, their terms of use, features, and benefits for users.

Datacenter proxies are IP addresses generated by cloud hosting services or data centers rather than individual devices connected to home networks. This makes them fast and highly scalable, ideal for web scraping, bypassing geo-restrictions, or managing multiple social media or e-commerce accounts. However, as these proxies are not tied to real-world locations like residential ones, they can be more easily identified by websites, leading to blocking or passing CAPTCHA. Despite this, their speed, cost-effectiveness, and availability make them popular for many online tasks.
