FAQ
What is an ISP proxy?
An ISP proxy uses IP ranges registered through internet service providers while keeping datacenter-style stability and speed.
Are ISP proxies the same as static residential proxies?
They overlap heavily. Many static residential products are ISP-backed proxies designed for persistent sessions.
When should I use ISP proxies?
Use ISP proxies for account workflows, long sessions, SEO tools, and targets where datacenter speed is useful but datacenter reputation is too weak.
Are ISP proxies faster than residential proxies?
Often yes, because ISP proxies are more controlled and stable than peer-based residential networks.
Are ISP proxies good for scraping?
They are good for stable, lower-volume scraping and session workflows. Rotating residential proxies are usually better for very broad crawling.
How do ISP proxies compare with datacenter proxies?
ISP proxies usually cost more but can carry better trust signals than typical hosting-range datacenter IPs.
