Datacenter proxies are IPs assigned to a server, through which your traffic is routed in order to change your IP address and location.

With a shorter journey & simplified architecture, Datacenter Proxies are both the fastest proxy type and the most cost-effective option.

Datacenter IPs are static and can be kept for as long as you need them. This makes them ideal for use-cases like account management, allowing you to juggle multiple seller profiles or social media accounts without ever getting blocked.

From competitive and marketing intelligence to brand security, digital asset protection, and scanning public databases, Datacenter proxies are great for accessing websites that are not using highly sophisticated blocking systems.

Bright Data has Datacenter proxies in 98 locations across the globe. The countries with the most Datacenter IPs are the USA, Canada, UK, Germany, and France.

As their name suggests, Datacenter Proxies are fully hosted in a data center and are not affiliated with an Internet Service Provider. This simplified architecture makes them faster than ISP or Residential Proxies, since they require one less “hop”’ from the server hosting your IPs.

When setting up a Datacenter Proxy zone, you will have the option of choosing either dedicated or shared IPs. With dedicated IPs, you’ll have full exclusivity over these IPs, and you can keep them as long as you need.

While dedicated Datacenter Proxies are best for managing multiple accounts or social media profiles, shared datacenter proxies also have their benefits. These IPs can be used to bypass geo-restrictions and verify ads or content in another country.

Both shared and dedicated Datacenter proxies can also be used for web scraping of most simple websites. Larger websites like social media sites and online retailers are likely to have more advanced bot-detection systems and if you want to scrap these sites you’ll need an alternate proxy solution like Web Unlocker.
