Residential Proxies, Static Residential Proxies, and Datacenter Proxies focus on different aspects. Residential Proxies and Static Residential Proxies use real residential IP addresses, while Datacenter Proxies use real data center IP addresses.

For large-scale scraping with real IP addresses, like web scraping and price monitoring, we recommend you choose Residential Proxies(Rotating Internet Service Provider Proxies for smooth data gathering and scraping on a large scale without IP blocks).

If you need to use proxies for market research and brand protection, we recommend using Static Residential Proxies(Real residential IP will not change, the combined power of Datacenter and Presidential IPs).

Datacenter Proxies are with higher speed and cost-effectiveness than Residential Proxies, but they are more easily than Residential Proxies to be scanned or banned by web servers. It is mainly used for public website data scraping and SEO monitoring.
