Contact · About us. ## What do buyers ask first? ### Are ISP proxies the same as static residential proxies? Yes, the two names describe the same product on most of the market: an IPv4 address registered to a consumer internet provider, hosted on a server in a datacenter, and kept fixed during the rental. SteadyProxy says it plainly, because the IP is not a home device. [Read the full explanation](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/are-static-residential-proxies-really-residential/). ### How long do I keep the same IP? For the whole 30-day rental: the IP does not rotate. Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. If you need a new IP on every connection instead, a rotating residential proxy is the right tool; [this comparison](https://steadyproxy.com/static-vs-rotating-residential-proxies/) shows when each one fits. ### Can I choose the city or the ISP? A city can be chosen only when the checkout lists it; otherwise the IP is allocated in the country you pick. A specific ISP or ASN can be ordered only when the checkout lists it; check the registered network of each IP after delivery. The [city pages](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/) explain how city geolocation works for static IPs and how to check it after delivery. ### How do I pay without KYC? Top up in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC: starting from a plan, the top-up is its exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan. No ID, selfie or documents are asked to sign up, top up or buy. [Payment details by coin](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/), including [Bitcoin](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/bitcoin/). ### What can I use a static IP for? Business accounts you own or manage for clients, one stable IP each; B2B services that only accept an allowlisted IP; local price, ad and search checks; QA from another country. Banking, government, payment and ticketing sites are blocked.

SteadyProxy rents fixed IPv4 addresses, one IP at a time, for 30 days. There are two products: - **[ISP proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/)**, also called static residential proxies. Each IP is registered to a consumer internet service provider, but it runs on a server in a datacenter. One IP costs $2.24, down to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs. - **[Dedicated datacenter proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/datacenter-proxies/)**. Each IP belongs to a hosting network. One IP costs $1.34, down to $0.59/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs. Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed. Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. Protocols are HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5. Country pages cover the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. ## What does SteadyProxy not claim? We do not claim more than we can show. In plain terms: - **No home devices.** ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. We never describe them as consumer devices. - **No guaranteed stock.** Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online. A country page is not a promise that a given city, ISP or /24 subnet is online today. - **No invented figures.** We publish no review scores, customer counts, success rates, speeds or uptime percentages. - **No price superlatives.** We do not claim to be the cheapest at any volume. Each tier is priced 25% under the lowest public price we found for the same quantity on 19 October 2026, and the price per IP never rises with quantity. The [price index](https://steadyproxy.com/data/static-proxy-price-index-2026/) shows the dated comparison. ## Why does SteadyProxy have no KYC? SteadyProxy is built for buyers who prefer not to upload identity documents. No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. Account-number login; email is optional. You pay from a crypto balance, so we never see card or bank details. No KYC does not mean no rules: the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/) applies to every account. We may refuse or suspend service in case of abuse, fraud or a legal obligation. The service is not available in countries and regions under comprehensive sanctions. Read more on the [no-KYC page](https://steadyproxy.com/no-kyc/). ## How do I contact SteadyProxy? Write to support@steadyproxy.com for orders, payments and technical questions. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week. Report abuse from one of our IPs to abuse@steadyproxy.com: a person reads every report. There is no phone line and no office open to visitors. We never ask for your account number by email or chat. The [contact page](https://steadyproxy.com/contact/) lists what to include, and the [official facts page](https://steadyproxy.com/llm-info/) gathers prices and policies in one place. ## What else do people ask about SteadyProxy? ### Is SteadyProxy a new company? SteadyProxy is a brand of ProxyGoat LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (USA). The team has been in the proxy business since 2019. We give the brand no founding year, because the experience belongs to the team. The [changelog](https://steadyproxy.com/changelog/) records dated changes to this site, its prices and its policies, starting with the catalogue of ISP and datacenter rentals defined on 14 October 2026. ### Does SteadyProxy own the IP addresses? No. We resell static ISP and datacenter IPs from established upstream partner networks that lease IPv4 ranges registered to internet service providers or hosting networks. We rent each IP to one customer for 30 days and handle the account, the payment and support. We do not name our upstream partners. After delivery you can check the registered network of each IP yourself with a WHOIS or ASN lookup. The [sourcing page](https://steadyproxy.com/sourcing/) explains how registration and hosting differ. ### Why does SteadyProxy accept crypto only? Crypto lets you pay without sharing card or bank details and without an identity check. You top up a balance in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC and buy IPs from it. Starting from a plan, the top-up is its exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan; the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if unspent. See [crypto payments](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/). ### Does SteadyProxy sell rotating residential or mobile proxies? No. SteadyProxy sells static IPs only: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPv4 addresses, each kept for a 30-day rental. Rotating residential traffic billed per GB and mobile proxies are different products that we do not offer on this site. Our guide on [static versus rotating proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/static-vs-rotating-residential-proxies/) explains when each type fits. ### Who uses static proxies from SteadyProxy? Static IPs suit work that needs the same address for weeks. Examples include managing your own or your clients' business accounts with one stable IP each, allowlisting an IP on a firewall or SaaS admin panel, and local price, ad or SERP checks. Fraud, spam and other abuse are forbidden. See the [use cases](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/) and the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/). ### Where are SteadyProxy's prices published? All prices are on the [pricing page](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/), in US dollars, for a 30-day rental. As of October 2026, ISP IPs cost $2.24 for one IP and $133.88 for 100 IPs. Datacenter IPs cost $1.34 for one IP and $59.25 for 100 IPs. Every price change is recorded in the [changelog](https://steadyproxy.com/changelog/). --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # Acceptable use policy > SteadyProxy acceptable use policy for static ISP and datacenter proxies: allowed uses, banned activities, 3 blocked SMTP ports, abuse reports. No KYC, crypto. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) **Quick answer — What can I use SteadyProxy static proxies for?** **SteadyProxy** static IPs are for legitimate work: running your own or your clients' business accounts on one stable IP each, IP allowlisting, local price, ad and SERP checks, QA and light public-data collection. Fraud, spam, account takeover, attacks and mass account creation are forbidden. Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587 are blocked. Updated 19 October 2026. ## What is SteadyProxy for? Static IPs fit work that needs the same address for days or weeks. Allowed uses include: - Managing your own business accounts, or your clients' accounts with their permission, with one stable IP per account. - Running your own seller accounts on online marketplaces. - Checking local prices, ads and search results (SERP) as they appear in a country, and tracking SEO rankings. - B2B IP allowlisting: giving a firewall, a SaaS admin panel or an API partner one fixed source IP. - QA and geolocation testing of your own websites and apps. - Light collection of public data with long sessions, at a moderate rate, within each site's terms and robots.txt. - Privacy for your own browsing on sites you are entitled to use. ## What is forbidden? You may not use SteadyProxy for any of the following: - Fraud of any kind, including payment or card fraud, identity theft and fake orders. - Spam, phishing or any bulk unsolicited messages. - Credential stuffing, password guessing or any login with credentials that are not yours. - Account takeover, or access to accounts, systems or data you are not entitled to. - Mass creation of accounts, fake sign-ups, and promotion or bonus abuse. - Ticket scalping, or buying up limited goods with automated tools. - Getting around payment fraud checks, bank security or other anti-fraud controls. - Denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, vulnerability scans of systems you do not own, malware distribution or traffic meant to overload a service. - Fake clicks, impressions, views, votes, reviews or engagement. - Collecting personal data you have no legal right to process. - Content or activity that is illegal where you are, where the target is or in the United States, including any sexual content involving minors. - Reselling access or sharing your IPs with third parties. Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed. We may refuse or suspend service in case of abuse, fraud or a legal obligation. The service is not available in countries and regions under comprehensive sanctions. ## Which targets are blocked? Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587 are blocked on every IP. This covers online banking, government services, payment portals and ticketing sites, plus outgoing email on SMTP ports 25, 465 and 587. You cannot send email through a SteadyProxy IP. The list can grow when a target owner asks us, or when a category of site is abused. A blocked request fails on purpose; it is not a fault of the IP and gives no right to a refund. ## What do we expect from you? - Follow the law that applies to you and to the sites you reach, and each site's terms of use. - Keep request rates modest, respect robots.txt, and stop when a site refuses automated access. Use its official API or data feed instead. - Keep your account number and the username and password of each IP private. You are responsible for all traffic sent through your IPs. - Use the IPs within fair use. Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. - Answer our questions if we contact you about a report. ## How are reports and breaches handled? Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension. Depending on the facts, we may warn you, block a target for your account, suspend an IP or close the account. When an account is terminated for abuse, its balance is not refunded and its rentals end without credit. We cooperate with lawful requests from authorities, as described in the [privacy policy](https://steadyproxy.com/privacy/). The connection metadata we keep for up to 30 days lets us link a report to an account; we do not log the content of your requests. ## How do I report abuse from a SteadyProxy IP? Write to abuse@steadyproxy.com. Include the IP address, the exact date and time with the time zone, the target hostname and a short description of what happened. Server logs of the requests help more than screenshots. Report within 30 days, because connection metadata is deleted after that. Support questions go to support@steadyproxy.com.

They measure public prices and purchase rules, not speed or success rates. Every page uses the same criteria: price per IP at 1, 10, 50 and 100 IPs, billing term and dedicated or shared IPs. Crypto payment and KYC wording complete the list. We read official pricing pages on 19 October 2026, bought nothing and tested no proxy. Each table shows its check date. ## Is an ISP proxy the same as a static residential proxy? Yes, in almost every catalogue. Both names mean an IPv4 address registered to a consumer internet provider and hosted on a datacenter server. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. The [ISP vs residential vs datacenter](https://steadyproxy.com/isp-vs-residential-vs-datacenter-proxies/) page explains the three types. ## Why compare the price per IP instead of the plan price? Plans start at different sizes, so the plan price alone misleads. Webshare starts at 20 IPs, Bright Data at 10, Decodo at 3, and SteadyProxy at one. The price per IP puts them on one scale: on 19 October 2026 the median dedicated ISP price was $3.00 per IP at 10 IPs. Also check the term: 30 days, a calendar month or 31 days. ## What does SteadyProxy offer? SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. ISP IPs cost $2.24 for one and $133.88 for 100. Datacenter IPs cost $1.34 for one. We do not claim to be the cheapest at any volume. See the full grid on the [pricing page](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/). ## What else do buyers ask about these comparisons? ### How often are the comparison prices checked? The current pages use a check of official pricing pages made on 19 October 2026. Five providers that were not re-checked keep their 14 October 2026 date: Proxy-Seller, Proxy-Cheap, Kestrel Proxies, NodeMaven and Infatica. Proxy-Cheap returned HTTP 403 on 19 October. Every table shows the date of its check. ### Why is SteadyProxy first in each ranking? We publish these pages, so our service comes first and is marked as ours. The other providers follow a stated rule on each page, such as the price per IP at 10 or 100 IPs. Competitor facts come with their source and check date, and the sources list links each official page. ### Do the comparisons include speed tests? No. We did not buy proxies or run speed, uptime or success-rate tests. Provider speed claims are marketing figures, so we leave them out. The comparisons cover what you can check on a public page: price, term, allocation, crypto, KYC, renewal and replacement rules. Test your own allowed workflow on a small order. ### Which providers do the comparisons cover? MarsProxies, Webshare, FloppyData, IPRoyal, Bright Data, Decodo, ProxyEmpire, Oxylabs, Rayobyte and GhostConnect were checked on 19 October 2026. Proxy-Seller, Proxy-Cheap, Kestrel Proxies, NodeMaven and Infatica come from the 14 October 2026 check.

All sizes, shared plans and datacenter IPs are in the [static proxy price index 2026](https://steadyproxy.com/data/static-proxy-price-index-2026/). ## What is an ISP proxy, really? An ISP proxy is an IPv4 address registered to a consumer internet provider, hosted on a server in a datacenter. Its ASN and WHOIS name a broadband ISP, but the machine is not in a home. Almost every "static residential" product on the market works this way, ours included. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. The IP runs on datacenter hardware, while registry lookups show a consumer ISP. Our guide [what is an ISP proxy](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/what-is-an-isp-proxy/) shows how to check the ASN of any IP you rent. ## How did we rank these ISP proxy providers? We used the same six criteria for every provider. They are the public price per IP at 1, 10, 50 and 100 IPs, the billing term and dedicated or shared IPs. The others are crypto payment, KYC wording and the date of the check. We read official pricing and help pages on 19 October 2026; some policy details date from 14 October. We bought nothing and ran no speed, uptime or success-rate test. The order after SteadyProxy follows the 10-IP price per IP, because 10 IPs is a common first order. ## Is a monthly ISP proxy price the same as a 30-day price? No. MarsProxies, IPRoyal and SteadyProxy state 30 days. Bright Data bills per calendar month, which lasts 28 to 31 days. Most others say "month" without a day count. Over a year, 30-day rentals mean about 12.2 renewals instead of 12. Compare totals for the same period before you choose. ## Should you buy dedicated or shared ISP proxies? Buy dedicated IPs when one account or one allowlist must stay tied to one IP that nobody else uses. Shared IPs cost less: Bright Data charges $1.80 per shared IP and $3.50 per dedicated IP at 10 IPs. Oxylabs shares each IP with up to 3 users. "Dedicated" is not the same as "private": the IP is yours alone during the rental, but it may have been used by someone else before. SteadyProxy sells dedicated IPs only. Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed. ## Which ISP proxy providers accept crypto without KYC? ProxyEmpire and GhostConnect state both crypto payment and no KYC for normal orders, checked 19 October 2026. SteadyProxy does too: pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, with no ID, no selfie and no documents. IPRoyal and Decodo accept crypto but describe KYC processes. Webshare, Bright Data, Oxylabs and Rayobyte list no crypto. The full picture is in the [no-KYC and crypto matrix](https://steadyproxy.com/data/isp-proxy-no-kyc-crypto-matrix/). **Rent a dedicated ISP IP for 30 days** From $2.24 per IP, down to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs. Pay in crypto, no KYC. [See pricing](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/) · [ISP proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/) ## What else do buyers ask about ISP proxies? ### Which ISP proxy provider charges least per IP at 100 IPs? Among the other providers checked on 19 October 2026, Webshare ($178.50) and FloppyData ($179.00) list the smallest 100-IP totals, about $1.79 per IP per month. Neither sells fewer than 20 dedicated IPs, and Webshare takes no crypto. SteadyProxy lists $133.88 for 100 IPs for 30 days. We do not claim to be the cheapest at any volume. ### Can I buy a single ISP proxy? Yes, from a few providers. SteadyProxy sells one IP for $2.24 for 30 days. MarsProxies sells one for $2.99, ProxyEmpire for $3.50 and GhostConnect for $5.00. IPRoyal shows a starting price of $2.70 per proxy. Decodo starts at 3 IPs, Oxylabs and Rayobyte at 5, Bright Data at 10, Webshare and FloppyData at 20. ### Are ISP proxies residential IPs? They are registered as residential, but they are not hosted in homes. The IP belongs to a consumer internet provider, so registry lookups show a broadband ISP. The server runs in a datacenter. This combines datacenter hosting with an ISP registration. Most static residential products on the market work this way. ### Are ISP proxies billed per GB? Usually not. Most providers bill per IP and apply a fair-use limit. Bright Data lists 100 GB per IP per month and may charge extra above it. ProxyEmpire has a 100 GB per IP soft cap. Webshare includes 250 GB. At SteadyProxy, IPs are billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. ### Will I keep the same ISP IP when I renew? It depends on the provider. Decodo documents that renewal keeps the same IPs when locations are unchanged. Rayobyte and Webshare keep IPs while the subscription stays active. At SteadyProxy, renewal is manual from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time. ### Is this ranking based on speed tests? No. We compared public prices, terms, allocation, crypto and KYC wording from official pages, checked on 19 October 2026. We did not buy proxies or measure speed, uptime or success rates. A provider's own speed figures are marketing claims. Test your allowed workflow on a small order before you scale up. ### Why is SteadyProxy listed first? We publish this page, so our service comes first and is marked as ours. The other ten providers follow one stated rule: their dedicated price per IP at 10 IPs. Providers without a 10-IP price come last. Every price carries its check date, and the sources list links each official page. ## Which sources did we check? 1.

An ISP proxy is an IPv4 address registered to a consumer internet provider, hosted on a server in a datacenter. Its ASN and WHOIS name a broadband ISP, but the machine is not in a home. Almost every "static residential" product on the market works this way, ours included. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. "Residential" describes the registration in the IP registry, not where the server sits. "Static" means the IP stays the same for the whole rental. Decodo says the same about its own product: ISP-issued IPs, not end-user devices. Read our [ISP proxy guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/what-is-an-isp-proxy/) for the full picture. ## Which static residential proxy providers rank best in 2026? **Methodology.** Published by SteadyProxy (ProxyGoat LLC).

Renewal and replacement rules come from help pages read on 14 October 2026. "Not found" means no public rule was found. ## Why do providers call the same product ISP or static residential? Both names describe the same thing: a fixed IP registered to a consumer ISP and hosted in a datacenter. Webshare, FloppyData, ProxyEmpire, Decodo and IPRoyal use "static residential". MarsProxies, Bright Data, Oxylabs, Rayobyte and GhostConnect use "ISP". Compare them as one category. The [best ISP proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/compare/best-isp-proxies/) page ranks the same market by the 10-IP price. ## How can you check where a static residential IP is hosted? Look up the IP's ASN once it is delivered. Open https://ipinfo.io/json through the proxy and read the "org" field: it shows the ASN and the network name. For an ISP proxy, it should name a consumer internet provider, not a hosting company. A specific ISP or ASN can be ordered only when the checkout lists it; check the registered network of each IP after delivery. ## What happens when a static residential IP stops working? Each provider has its own replacement rule, and the limits matter more than the headline price. IPRoyal replaces one IP per new order within 24 hours, under 500 MB used. Rayobyte gives one free replacement per IP per month. Decodo charges $0.70 per IP and excludes crypto purchases. A replacement is a different IP, so update your allowlists. SteadyProxy applies one rule. If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. ## What else do buyers ask about static residential proxies? ### Are static residential proxies hosted in homes? In almost every case, no. A static residential proxy is an IP registered to a consumer ISP and run on a datacenter server. That is how it stays fixed and fast. Products that route through real home connections usually rotate and are sold per GB. SteadyProxy's ISP IPs are datacenter-hosted, as stated on every product page. ### What is the difference between static residential and rotating residential proxies? A static residential proxy keeps one IP for the whole rental and is billed per IP. A rotating residential proxy changes IP often and is billed per GB. Static IPs suit accounts and allowlists that need one stable address. Rotating IPs suit wide public-data collection. Our [static vs rotating page](https://steadyproxy.com/static-vs-rotating-residential-proxies/) explains the trade-offs. ### How much does a static residential proxy cost in 2026? On 19 October 2026 the median dedicated price was $3.00 per IP at 10 IPs and $2.60 at 100 IPs. Single IPs cost $2.99 at MarsProxies and $3.50 at ProxyEmpire. SteadyProxy charges $2.24 for one IP and $133.88 for 100, each for 30 days. ### Can I choose the city or ISP of a static residential IP? Only where the provider lists it at checkout. ProxyEmpire offered country targeting only on 14 October 2026. At SteadyProxy, a city can be chosen only when the checkout lists it; otherwise the IP is allocated in the country you pick. The same rule applies to a specific ISP or ASN. ### Which static residential provider keeps the same IP at renewal? Decodo documents that renewal keeps the same IPs if you do not change locations. Webshare and Rayobyte keep IPs while the subscription stays active. At SteadyProxy, renewal is manual from your balance. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew before the end date and check your IP list. ### Can I pay for static residential proxies in crypto without KYC? Yes. On 19 October 2026, ProxyEmpire stated no KYC to buy a plan and accepted crypto. FloppyData accepts crypto and showed no KYC rule. SteadyProxy takes BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC with no ID, no selfie and no documents. IPRoyal accepts crypto but requires KYC for static residential users. ## Which sources did we check? 1.

Bright Data charges $35 for 10 dedicated ISP IPs and $275 for 100, per calendar month, as of 19 October 2026. That is $3.50 and $2.75 per IP. Shared ISP IPs cost $18 for 10 and $145 for 100. The smallest dedicated plan is 10 IPs. Plans include 100 GB per IP per month, and extra charges may apply above it. ## Does Bright Data accept crypto or require KYC for ISP proxies? Bright Data listed no crypto payment on its pricing pages on 19 October 2026. Its KYC FAQ covers the residential and mobile networks. On 14 October it stated that ISP proxies stay usable while a residential KYC check is pending. Account and payment checks can still apply. ## How is SteadyProxy different from Bright Data? SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. You pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC from a balance; the minimum top-up is $25. - **Size:** one IP is enough; Bright Data starts at 10. - **Term:** 30 days per IP, not a calendar month. - **Price:** $20.86 for 10 ISP IPs and $133.88 for 100, against $35 and $275 at Bright Data on 19 October 2026. - **Identity:** No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. - **Traffic:** Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. To pay, send the exact amount shown and click I've sent the payment. The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once confirmed. See [crypto payments](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/). ## When is Bright Data the better choice? Bright Data fits better in several cases. Shared ISP IPs cost $1.45 each at 100 IPs, if you do not need IPs of your own. It sells many other proxy types and data tools from one account. It accepts cards, which suits companies that cannot pay in crypto. Its product page says you can keep addresses as long as needed (14 Oct). At SteadyProxy, keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed. ## Are Bright Data and SteadyProxy ISP IPs the same kind of IP? Yes, both are ISP proxies: IPv4 addresses registered to consumer internet providers and run on datacenter servers. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. Check the ASN of each delivered IP, as our [ISP proxy guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/what-is-an-isp-proxy/) explains. **Rent a dedicated ISP IP for 30 days** From $2.24 for one IP, down to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs. Pay in crypto, no KYC. [See pricing](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/) · [ISP proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/) ## What else do buyers ask about Bright Data ISP alternatives? ### Does SteadyProxy cost less than Bright Data for ISP proxies? For the plans compared on 19 October 2026, yes. Bright Data listed $35 for 10 dedicated ISP IPs and $275 for 100 per calendar month. SteadyProxy charges $20.86 and $133.88 for 30 days. Bright Data's shared ISP plan, at $145 for 100 IPs, is a different product. We do not claim to be the cheapest at any volume. ### Can I buy fewer than 10 ISP IPs instead of Bright Data's minimum? Yes. Bright Data's dedicated ISP plans start at 10 IPs. SteadyProxy sells one IP for $2.24 for 30 days, and 5 IPs for $10.88. This suits a single allowlisted server or one business account. You can add more IPs later from the same balance. ### Can I pay for ISP proxies in Bitcoin instead of a card? At SteadyProxy, yes: we accept BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC and nothing else. Bright Data listed no crypto payment on 19 October 2026. To pay, you top up your balance with the exact amount shown, then the plan is bought from the balance once the payment is confirmed. No identity documents are needed. ### Do I need KYC to use SteadyProxy ISP proxies? No. No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. Account-number login; email is optional. This is for buyers who prefer not to upload identity documents. The acceptable use policy still applies, and abuse reports are reviewed by a person. Some targets stay blocked, such as banking, government and payment portals. ### How do I move from Bright Data to SteadyProxy? Rent a small number of IPs first and test your own allowed workflow. Then add the new IPs to your firewall or SaaS allowlists, since every IP changes. Keep your Bright Data plan until the new IPs work. Authentication is by username and password, or an IP allowlist of up to 10 IPs. ### Does SteadyProxy sell shared ISP proxies like Bright Data? No. SteadyProxy sells dedicated IPs only: each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period. Do you need many low-cost IPs and accept sharing? Then Bright Data's shared ISP plan, $145 for 100 IPs per month, may fit better. Shared IPs can be used by other customers at the same time. ## Which sources did we check? 1.

Decodo charges $29 for 10 dedicated ISP IPs per month, $135 for 50 and $260 for 100, plus VAT, as of 19 October 2026. That is $2.90, $2.70 and $2.60 per IP. The smallest plan is 3 IPs for $9.99. Decodo states that its static residential IPs are ISP-issued, not end-user devices. ## Does Decodo accept crypto and require KYC? Decodo accepts Bitcoin, shown on its pricing page on 19 October 2026; its help pages listed more coins via CoinGate on 14 October. It says it has "a KYC system in place": ID, selfie or business checks unlock extra access. One limit applies to crypto buyers: paid selective IP replacement is not available on crypto purchases. ## How is SteadyProxy different from Decodo? SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. You pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC from a balance; the minimum top-up is $25. - **Size:** one IP is enough; Decodo starts at 3. - **Price:** $20.86 for 10 IPs and $133.88 for 100, against $29 and $260 plus VAT at Decodo on 19 October 2026. - **Identity:** No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. - **Renewal:** manual, from your balance, before the end date. To pay, send the exact amount shown and click I've sent the payment. The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once confirmed. See [crypto payments](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/). ## When is Decodo the better choice? Decodo fits better if you must keep the same IPs for months: its help pages say renewal keeps them when locations are unchanged. It listed 16 countries for dedicated ISP on 14 October 2026, including Brazil, Italy, Poland and Hong Kong. It accepts cards and offers business verification, which suits companies that need invoices. SteadyProxy does not guarantee the same IP after the end date. **Rent a dedicated ISP IP for 30 days** From $2.24 for one IP, down to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs. Pay in crypto, no KYC. [See pricing](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/) · [ISP proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/) ## What else do buyers ask about Decodo alternatives? ### Is Decodo's price per IP higher than SteadyProxy's? For the plans compared on 19 October 2026, yes. Decodo listed $29 for 10 dedicated ISP IPs and $260 for 100 per month, plus VAT. SteadyProxy charges $20.86 and $133.88 for 30 days. Decodo documents same-IP renewal, which we do not. We do not claim to be the cheapest at any volume. ### Can I pay Decodo in crypto and still replace an IP? Not with paid selective replacement. Decodo's help page, read on 14 October 2026, said selective replacement at $0.70 per IP works on active recurring subscriptions only, not on crypto purchases. At SteadyProxy, crypto is the only payment method, and the replacement rule is the same for every order. ### Does Decodo ask for ID for static residential proxies? Decodo states it has a KYC system in place. Its help pages describe ID and selfie checks, or a business check, to unlock extra access. We did not find a rule that blocks every ISP purchase without documents. SteadyProxy asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents at any step. ### Will I keep the same IPs when I renew? At Decodo, renewal keeps the same IPs when you do not change locations, per its help page. At SteadyProxy, renewal is manual from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. ### Are prices shown with VAT? Decodo's prices exclude VAT, and tax is added at checkout depending on your country. SteadyProxy prices are shown in USD for a 30-day rental and paid in crypto from your balance. Compare final totals for your own country before you decide. ### Does Decodo cap traffic on dedicated ISP proxies? Decodo applies a fair-use rule. Its help page, read on 14 October 2026, sets two triggers: 100 GB per IP and 10 TB in total. Above both, threads per IP drop from 100 to 1. SteadyProxy bills per IP and per 30 days, not per GB, and fair use applies. Measure your traffic before you choose a plan. ## Which sources did we check? 1.

Its help pages also list 1, 60 and 90-day terms (14 Oct). Datacenter proxies start at $1.57 per IP for 30 days (14 Oct). ## Does IPRoyal require KYC for ISP proxies? Yes, for static residential proxies. On 19 October 2026 IPRoyal's pricing page said: "Static residential proxy users will have to go through our KYC process". IPRoyal's static residential product is what other providers call ISP proxies. Paying in crypto does not remove this check. Compare all providers in the [no-KYC and crypto matrix](https://steadyproxy.com/data/isp-proxy-no-kyc-crypto-matrix/). ## How is SteadyProxy different from IPRoyal? SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. You pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC from a balance; the minimum top-up is $25. - **Identity:** No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. IPRoyal requires KYC for static residential users. - **Prices:** every quantity has a public price, from $2.24 for one IP to $133.88 for 100. - **Traffic:** Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. IPRoyal pools 100 GB per IP per 30-day cycle, then slows the proxies. - **Login:** Account-number login; email is optional. To pay, send the exact amount shown and click I've sent the payment. The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once confirmed. See [crypto payments](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/). ## When is IPRoyal the better choice? IPRoyal fits better if you need a term other than 30 days: it lists 1, 60 and 90-day rentals. Its replacement rule is written in detail: one free replacement per new order, within 24 hours, under 500 MB used. It advertised 31 or more countries on 14 October 2026. If you are already verified with IPRoyal, its KYC step is done. SteadyProxy has country pages for 10 countries, and Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online. **Rent a dedicated ISP IP for 30 days** From $2.24 for one IP, down to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs. Pay in crypto, no KYC. [See pricing](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/) · [ISP proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/) ## What else do buyers ask about IPRoyal ISP alternatives? ### Is IPRoyal's $2.70 the price for one ISP proxy? Not necessarily. On 19 October 2026 IPRoyal showed "starting from $2.70" per proxy for 30 days and mentioned bulk discounts. A starting price is often the rate of a larger order. Without public quantity tiers, the exact price for one IP is only visible at checkout. SteadyProxy shows $2.24 for one ISP IP before you pay. ### Can I avoid ID checks by paying IPRoyal in crypto? No. IPRoyal accepts crypto, but its pricing page says static residential proxy users have to go through its KYC process. Payment method and identity checks are separate rules. If you prefer not to upload identity documents, SteadyProxy needs no ID, no selfie and no documents to sign up, top up or buy. ### Does SteadyProxy limit traffic like IPRoyal? SteadyProxy bills per IP and per 30 days, not per GB, and fair use applies. IPRoyal's help page gives a pool of 100 GB multiplied by the number of IPs per 30-day cycle. After that, dedicated proxies are slowed unless you buy more data. Measure your own traffic before you choose. ### What happens if a SteadyProxy IP does not work? Write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. Within 24 hours of delivery, an IP we cannot fix or replace is credited back to your balance in full. IPRoyal allows one replacement per new order within 24 hours, under 500 MB used. ### Can I rent an ISP proxy for one day? Not at SteadyProxy: every IP is rented for 30 days. IPRoyal listed a 1-day term on 14 October 2026, as well as 30, 60 and 90 days. For short tests, a 1-day rental can cost less in total. For a stable business IP held for weeks, a 30-day rental is the usual unit. ### Which countries can I get at SteadyProxy? SteadyProxy has ISP pages for nine countries: the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia, the UAE and Saudi Arabia. It also sells US IPs. Availability varies by country, and the checkout shows what is online. A city can be chosen only when the checkout lists it. ## Which sources did we check? 1.

Webshare charges $42 for 20 dedicated static residential IPs per month, $94.50 for 50 and $178.50 for 100, as of 19 October 2026. That is $2.10, $1.89 and $1.79 per IP. Its shared static residential plan cost $6 for 20 IPs on 14 October 2026. Plans include 250 GB of traffic, with larger traffic options for sale. ## Does Webshare accept crypto or require KYC? Webshare accepts no crypto: its listed methods are cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay, checked 19 October 2026. We found no public document-check rule for its static residential plans on 14 October. Card payment itself involves the card issuer's checks. ## How is SteadyProxy different from Webshare? SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. You pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC from a balance; the minimum top-up is $25. - **Size:** buy one IP, or 5, 10 or 25; Webshare starts at 20 dedicated IPs. - **Payment:** crypto only, while Webshare takes cards and wallets. - **Identity:** No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. - **Term:** 30 days per IP. To pay, send the exact amount shown and click I've sent the payment. The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once confirmed. See [crypto payments](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/). ## When is Webshare the better choice? Webshare fits better if you can share IPs: 20 shared static residential IPs cost $6 per month (14 Oct). It suits teams that must pay by card. Its IPs stay assigned while the subscription is active, and its product comparison lists 10 free replacements. At SteadyProxy, keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, and replacement depends on stock. ## Are Webshare static residential IPs hosted in homes? No more than ours. Static residential IPs at Webshare and SteadyProxy are ISP-registered addresses run on datacenter servers. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. The [best static residential proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/compare/best-static-residential-proxies/) page explains this market-wide. **Rent a dedicated ISP IP for 30 days** From $2.24 for one IP, down to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs. Pay in crypto, no KYC. [See pricing](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/) · [ISP proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/) ## What else do buyers ask about Webshare alternatives? ### Can I buy fewer than 20 static residential IPs? Yes, at SteadyProxy. Webshare's dedicated static residential plans start at 20 IPs for $42 per month. SteadyProxy sells one ISP IP for $2.24, 5 for $10.88 and 10 for $20.86, each for 30 days. You pay only for the IPs you need. ### How do 100-IP prices compare between Webshare and SteadyProxy? On 19 October 2026 Webshare listed $178.50 for 100 dedicated static residential IPs per month, or about $1.79 per IP. SteadyProxy charges $133.88 for 100 ISP IPs for 30 days. Webshare includes 250 GB of traffic. We do not claim to be the cheapest at any volume. ### Can I pay for static residential proxies with a card at SteadyProxy? No. SteadyProxy accepts crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. If your company can only pay by card, Webshare accepts cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. With crypto, you top up a balance, the payment is matched by its exact amount, and the plan is bought once the top-up is credited. ### Does SteadyProxy offer shared static residential IPs? No. Each SteadyProxy IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30 days. Webshare's shared plan, at $6 for 20 IPs per month on 14 October 2026, costs far less per IP. Shared IPs can carry other customers' traffic, so they suit light public-data checks better than account work. ### Will my IP change at renewal? At Webshare, IPs stay assigned while the subscription is active. At SteadyProxy, renewal is manual from your balance before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. Plan your allowlists with this in mind. ### Is there a KYC check at SteadyProxy? No. You sign up with an account number, and email is optional. There is no ID, no selfie and no document to upload to sign up, top up or buy. This is for buyers who prefer not to upload identity documents. The acceptable use policy and abuse handling still apply. ## Which sources did we check? 1.

One static ISP IP costs $2.24 for 30 days as of October 2026; starting from a plan, the top-up is its exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan. No KYC. ## Which coins and networks are accepted? | Coin | Network | Confirmations before credit | | --- | --- | --- | | Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | | Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | | Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | | USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | | Ether (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | | Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | | Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | Send only the coin and network shown on the payment page; funds sent on another network cannot be recovered. ## How does a crypto payment work? Choose a plan, pick a coin and a network, then send the exact amount shown to the address on the payment page and click “I’ve sent the payment”. The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once the network has confirmed it. The plan is then bought from your balance and your IPs appear in your dashboard once allocated. ## Which coin should I use for a small order? For one or ten IPs, a low-fee network keeps the total close to the plan price: USDT on Tron (TRC-20), Solana and Litecoin usually cost cents in network fees, while Ethereum and ERC-20 tokens can cost more when the network is busy. Bitcoin needs only 2 confirmations but its fee varies. Coin-by-coin details: [Bitcoin](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/bitcoin/), [USDT](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/usdt/), [USDC](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/usdc/). ## What happens to the rest of my top-up? Unused balance stays on your account and never expires. When a purchase costs less than the minimum top-up, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days of the payment, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. The rest of the balance is not paid back, except where the law requires it. For example, one ISP IP at $2.24 paid with the $25 minimum leaves the difference on your balance; you can spend it on more IPs or ask support to refund that added part in USDT or USDC within 30 days. ## Do other ISP proxy sellers accept crypto? Some do. On 19 October 2026, MarsProxies, FloppyData, ProxyEmpire, Decodo (Bitcoin) and GhostConnect listed crypto among their payment methods, while Webshare and Bright Data did not. SteadyProxy accepts nothing else: no card, no bank transfer, no PayPal. [Crypto and KYC matrix](https://steadyproxy.com/data/isp-proxy-no-kyc-crypto-matrix/). ## How payment works 1. **Top up the price of your plan** — Pick a plan: the checkout proposes its exact price as the top-up, or {min} for a smaller plan. Choose the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC); the crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount. 3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how we find your payment and link it to your account. 4. **Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain** — Your balance is credited once we have checked the transaction on the blockchain, after the network has confirmed it. Typical network confirmation times: 5. **One balance for every product** — If you started from a plan, the top-up is its exact price (or the minimum, for a smaller plan): the plan is bought as soon as the top-up is credited, and your static IPs appear in your dashboard once they are allocated. What is left stays on your balance: use it for any of our plans. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires. When a purchase costs less than the minimum top-up, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days of the payment, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. The rest of the balance is not paid back, except where the law requires it. | Crypto | Network | Confirmations | Usual time | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | ≈ 20 min | | Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | ≈ 1 min | | Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | ≈ 1 min | | Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | ≈ 15 min | Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again. ## Crypto payment questions ### Which USDT network should I choose? Tron (TRC-20) needs 20 confirmations and usually has the lowest fee; Ethereum (ERC-20) needs 12 confirmations and costs more in gas. Both credit the same USD amount. Pick the one your wallet or exchange supports, and never mix them: the address and network on the payment page must match. ### What if I send the wrong amount? Each top-up has its own exact amount, which is how the payment is matched to your account. If you sent a different amount, write to support with the transaction ID (TXID), the coin and the network; do not send a second payment until support replies. ### What if I pay on the wrong network? Funds sent on another network or in another coin than the one shown cannot be recovered. Always copy the address from the payment page and check the network name in your wallet before sending. ### Can I pay exactly $2.24? The minimum top-up is $25, so a single IP is paid with $25 and the rest stays on your balance. From a plan above the minimum, such as 25 ISP IPs at $50.46, the top-up is the exact plan price. ### Are network fees included? No. The plan price goes to SteadyProxy; the network fee goes to the blockchain and is added by your wallet. Send enough so that the amount received equals the amount shown. ### Is unused balance refunded? The part added only to reach the $25 minimum is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if unspent. The rest of the balance never expires and is not paid back, except where the law requires it. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # Buy ISP proxies with Bitcoin: on-chain BTC, 2 confirmations, no KYC > Buy ISP proxies with Bitcoin: send the exact BTC amount on-chain, credited after 2 confirmations.

As of October 2026, one ISP IP costs $2.24 for 30 days; the top-up is the plan's price, or $25 for a smaller plan.

A Bitcoin payment takes six steps: 1. Pick an ISP plan on the [pricing page](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/), for example 10 IPs at $20.86. 2. Choose BTC. The payment page shows a Bitcoin address and the exact BTC amount. The amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 3. Send that exact amount from your wallet, on the Bitcoin network. 4. Click “I’ve sent the payment”. 5. The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once it has 2 confirmations. 6. The plan is bought from your balance. Your IP list (host, port, username, password, country, end date) appears in your dashboard once the IPs are allocated. ## Why must the BTC amount be exact? The exact amount is how we find your payment and link it to your account. Each top-up gets its own amount, down to the last decimal. If an exchange takes its withdrawal fee out of the amount you type, less BTC arrives and the payment no longer matches. Send from a wallet where the fee is added on top, or set the exchange so the amount received equals the amount shown. If the amounts differ, write to support with the transaction ID (TXID). ## What does the Bitcoin network fee change? The network fee goes to the miners, comes on top of the amount and does not change your top-up. Your wallet sets it, usually in satoshis per virtual byte. A low fee can leave the transaction waiting longer before its first confirmation, so we do not promise a credit time. Credit follows once the transaction has 2 confirmations, whatever fee you chose. ## Which Bitcoin payment types are not accepted? Only on-chain BTC on the Bitcoin network is accepted. The payment page does not list Lightning Network invoices. Wrapped or bridged Bitcoin, such as WBTC on Ethereum or BTC tokens on other chains, is not accepted either. Funds sent on another network or in another coin can't be recovered. To pay with a stablecoin instead, see [USDT](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/usdt/) or [USDC](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/usdc/). ## How much BTC do I need for my order? Starting from a plan, the top-up is its exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan. The payment page converts the USD amount into BTC. The network fee comes on top. | Plan (30 days) | Price | Top-up | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 ISP IP | $2.24 | $25 | | 5 ISP IPs | $10.88 | $25 | | 10 ISP IPs | $20.86 | $25 | | 25 ISP IPs | $50.46 | $50.46 (exact price) | | 50 ISP IPs | $70.88 | $70.88 (exact price) | | 100 ISP IPs | $133.88 | $133.88 (exact price) | The part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if unspent. The rest of the balance stays on your account for any plan. ## How does a crypto top-up work at SteadyProxy? 1. **Top up the price of your plan** — Pick a plan: the checkout proposes its exact price as the top-up, or {min} for a smaller plan. Choose the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC); the crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount. 3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how we find your payment and link it to your account. 4. **Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain** — Your balance is credited once we have checked the transaction on the blockchain, after the network has confirmed it. Typical network confirmation times: 5. **One balance for every product** — If you started from a plan, the top-up is its exact price (or the minimum, for a smaller plan): the plan is bought as soon as the top-up is credited, and your static IPs appear in your dashboard once they are allocated.

How payment works ## What else do buyers ask? ### Can I pay with the Lightning Network? No. The payment page lists Bitcoin on-chain only, credited after 2 confirmations. A Lightning invoice is not offered. Send a normal on-chain transaction to the address shown, for the exact amount shown. If your wallet holds BTC only on Lightning, move it on-chain first, or pay with [USDT](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/usdt/). ### What if I sent less BTC than the amount shown? The payment will not match the amount of your top-up. Write to support with the transaction ID (TXID), the time of the payment and the top-up you started. Do not send a second payment for the missing part before support replies. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week. ### Why does SteadyProxy wait for 2 Bitcoin confirmations? A transaction is final only once miners include it in blocks. The first confirmation puts it in a block; the second adds one more block on top. Two confirmations protect both sides against a transaction that is replaced or dropped. Time depends on the network and on your fee. ### Can I pay from an exchange account? Yes, if the exchange sends on-chain BTC on the Bitcoin network. Check that the amount received equals the amount shown: many exchanges take their fee out of the amount. The exchange applies its own identity rules; SteadyProxy does not ask for ID. ### What if the BTC price moves before my payment confirms? The amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes from the moment the payment page opens. Send within that window. The USD price of the plan does not change. If the window has passed before you send, start a new top-up rather than sending the old amount. ### Is a Bitcoin payment private? Bitcoin transactions are public on the blockchain: anyone can see the amount and the addresses. No KYC at SteadyProxy means no ID upload, no selfie and no documents. It does not make the transaction invisible. Your wallet or exchange keeps its own records. ### Does a Bitcoin TXID prove that the account is mine? No. A TXID is public, so anyone can copy it. Account-number login; email is optional. Your account number is your login: save it somewhere safe. Add an email (optional) if you want a way to recover it. Without an email, a lost account number cannot be recovered. ## Which sources explain Bitcoin payments? 1.

The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once confirmed, after 12 confirmations. As of October 2026, ISP IPs start at $2.24 and datacenter IPs at $1.34 for 30 days. No KYC: no ID, selfie or documents. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Accepted network | Ethereum (ERC-20) only | | Confirmations before credit | 12 | | Token contract on Ethereum | 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48 (Circle's USDC) | | Not accepted | USDC on Solana, Base, Polygon, Arbitrum, OP Mainnet, Avalanche or any other chain; bridged USDC.e | | Network fee | On top of the amount: gas paid in ETH | | Static plans | ISP $2.24 (1 IP); datacenter $1.34 (1 IP), $12.69 (10 IPs); 30 days | | Top-up | The plan's exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan | ## Which USDC network does SteadyProxy accept? SteadyProxy accepts USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) only. Circle issues USDC on many chains, including Solana, Base, Polygon and Arbitrum, but only the Ethereum version reaches our address. Check two things in your wallet: the network is Ethereum, and the token contract is Circle's USDC, 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48. Funds sent on another network or in another coin can't be recovered. ## Which static proxies can I buy with USDC? Every plan: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs, rented per IP for 30 days. ISP IPs cost $2.24 for 1, $20.86 for 10 and $133.88 for 100. Datacenter IPs cost $1.34 for 1, $12.69 for 10 and $59.25 for 100. One USDC top-up feeds a single balance, so you can mix both products. Compare them in [ISP vs residential vs datacenter proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/isp-vs-residential-vs-datacenter-proxies/). ## How do I send the exact USDC amount on Ethereum? Send one ERC-20 transfer of the exact amount shown: 1. Pick a plan on the [pricing page](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/) and choose USDC. 2. Copy the Ethereum address and the exact amount. The amount is locked for 30 minutes. 3. Check that the wallet holds enough ETH for gas. 4. Send one transfer, with the fee on top of the amount. 5. Click “I’ve sent the payment”. 6. The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once it has 12 confirmations. ## Why does a USDC payment need 12 confirmations? Twelve Ethereum blocks on top of your transaction make it safe to credit. The count starts once the transaction is in a block. Gas price affects how soon the transaction enters a block, not how many confirmations are needed, so we do not promise a credit time. If gas is high, the fee you pay rises, but the USDC amount to send stays the same. ## How much USDC do I need for my order? Starting from a plan, the top-up is its exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan. The payment page converts the USD amount into USDC. The network fee comes on top. | Plan (30 days) | Price | Top-up | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 ISP IP | $2.24 | $25 | | 5 ISP IPs | $10.88 | $25 | | 10 ISP IPs | $20.86 | $25 | | 25 ISP IPs | $50.46 | $50.46 (exact price) | | 50 ISP IPs | $70.88 | $70.88 (exact price) | | 100 ISP IPs | $133.88 | $133.88 (exact price) | The part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if unspent. The rest of the balance stays on your account for any plan. ## How does a crypto top-up work at SteadyProxy? 1. **Top up the price of your plan** — Pick a plan: the checkout proposes its exact price as the top-up, or {min} for a smaller plan. Choose the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC); the crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount. 3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how we find your payment and link it to your account. 4. **Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain** — Your balance is credited once we have checked the transaction on the blockchain, after the network has confirmed it. Typical network confirmation times: 5. **One balance for every product** — If you started from a plan, the top-up is its exact price (or the minimum, for a smaller plan): the plan is bought as soon as the top-up is credited, and your static IPs appear in your dashboard once they are allocated. What is left stays on your balance: use it for any of our plans. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires. When a purchase costs less than the minimum top-up, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days of the payment, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. The rest of the balance is not paid back, except where the law requires it. | Crypto | Network | Confirmations | Usual time | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | ≈ 20 min | | Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | ≈ 1 min | | Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | ≈ 1 min | | Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | ≈ 15 min | Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again. ## Which datacenter plan can I pay for with USDC? | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 datacenter IP | 1 IP · 30 days | $1.34 | $1.34/IP · 30 days | | 10 datacenter IPs | 10 IPs · 30 days | $12.69 | $1.27/IP · 30 days | | 100 datacenter IPs | 100 IPs · 30 days | $59.25 | $0.59/IP · 30 days | In every plan: One customer per IP for 30 days · HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 · Username/password or IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs) · SMTP ports 25, 465 and 587 closed **Before you pay** - Your top-up is the plan price. Starting from a plan, the checkout asks for its exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan; anything left stays on your balance. How payment works ## What else do buyers ask? ### Can I send USDC on Base or Solana? No. SteadyProxy accepts USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20) only, credited after 12 confirmations. USDC on Base, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum or any other chain would not reach our address and can't be recovered. Withdraw from your exchange on Ethereum, or pay with [USDT on Tron](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/usdt/). ### Is bridged USDC.e accepted? No. Bridged versions such as USDC.e are different tokens with different contracts. Only Circle's native USDC on Ethereum, contract 0xA0b86991c6218b36c1d19D4a2e9Eb0cE3606eB48, is accepted. Check the contract in your wallet if it shows several USDC tokens. A token sent from the wrong contract can't be recovered. ### Do I need ETH to pay with USDC? Yes, from a personal wallet. Gas on Ethereum is paid in ETH, not in USDC, and it comes on top of the amount. A wallet with USDC but no ETH cannot send the transfer. An exchange withdrawal charges its own fee instead. ### What if gas prices jump while I pay? The USDC amount to send does not change; only the ETH fee does. A low gas setting can leave the transaction waiting before it enters a block. Send within the 30-minute window shown on the payment page. If it has passed, start a new top-up. ### Can I pay with USDC from Coinbase or another exchange? Yes, if the exchange withdraws on the Ethereum network. Many exchanges default to a cheaper chain, so choose Ethereum (ERC-20) explicitly. Check that the amount received equals the amount shown. The exchange applies its own identity rules; SteadyProxy does not ask for ID. ### Can I get the refundable part back in USDC? Yes. When a plan costs less than $25, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if unspent. Ask support. The rest of the balance stays on your account; see the [refund policy](https://steadyproxy.com/refunds/). ### Can one USDC top-up pay for ISP and datacenter IPs? Yes. The balance works for every plan. For example, a top-up of $25 covers one ISP IP at $2.24 plus ten datacenter IPs at $12.69, if the total fits within the balance. What is left stays on your balance and never expires. ## Which sources explain USDC on Ethereum? 1.

The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once confirmed: 20 confirmations on Tron, 12 on Ethereum. As of October 2026, one ISP IP costs $2.24 for 30 days. No KYC: no ID, selfie or documents. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Accepted networks | Tron (TRC-20) and Ethereum (ERC-20), nothing else | | Confirmations before credit | 20 on Tron (TRC-20); 12 on Ethereum (ERC-20) | | Not accepted | USDT on any other network, such as BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum or TON | | Network fee | On top of the amount: paid in TRX on Tron, in ETH on Ethereum | | Amount to send | The exact USDT amount shown, to the last decimal | | Top-up | The plan's exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan | | ISP price | $2.24 for 1 IP; $133.88 for 100 IPs (30 days) | ## Which USDT networks does SteadyProxy accept? SteadyProxy accepts USDT on exactly two networks: Tron (TRC-20) and Ethereum (ERC-20). The payment page shows the address for the network you pick. A Tron address starts with "T"; an Ethereum address starts with "0x". Check that your wallet's network matches before you send. USDT sent on any other network, for example BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20), Solana or Polygon, does not arrive at our address and can't be recovered. ## TRC-20 or ERC-20: which should I use? Use the network your wallet or exchange supports, and compare the fee it shows. Tron transfers usually cost less in fees than Ethereum transfers; both change with network load. On Tron, the fee is paid in TRX (as energy and bandwidth), so keep some TRX in the wallet. On Ethereum, the fee is gas paid in ETH. Credit follows after 20 confirmations on Tron or 12 on Ethereum. We do not promise a credit time. ## How do I send the exact USDT amount? Send one transfer of the exact amount shown, on the network you picked: 1. Pick an ISP plan on the [pricing page](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/) and choose USDT, then the network. 2. Copy the address and the exact amount. The amount is locked for 30 minutes. 3. Send one transfer. Make sure the network fee is added on top and not taken out of the amount. 4. Click “I’ve sent the payment”. 5. The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once confirmed. Two partial transfers do not match the amount shown, so avoid splitting a payment. ## How much USDT do I need for my order? Starting from a plan, the top-up is its exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan. The payment page converts the USD amount into USDT. The network fee comes on top. | Plan (30 days) | Price | Top-up | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 ISP IP | $2.24 | $25 | | 5 ISP IPs | $10.88 | $25 | | 10 ISP IPs | $20.86 | $25 | | 25 ISP IPs | $50.46 | $50.46 (exact price) | | 50 ISP IPs | $70.88 | $70.88 (exact price) | | 100 ISP IPs | $133.88 | $133.88 (exact price) | The part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if unspent. The rest of the balance stays on your account for any plan. ## Why is the refundable part paid in USDT or USDC? When a plan costs less than $25, you top up $25 and part of it is added only to reach the minimum. That part is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if unspent. Stablecoins keep the refund close to its USD value. Example: one ISP IP at $2.24 leaves the rest of the $25 on your balance. The [refund policy](https://steadyproxy.com/refunds/) has the full rule. ## How does a crypto top-up work at SteadyProxy? 1. **Top up the price of your plan** — Pick a plan: the checkout proposes its exact price as the top-up, or {min} for a smaller plan. Choose the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC); the crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount. 3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how we find your payment and link it to your account. 4. **Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain** — Your balance is credited once we have checked the transaction on the blockchain, after the network has confirmed it.

Starting from a plan, the checkout asks for its exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan; anything left stays on your balance. How payment works ## What else do buyers ask? ### Can I send USDT on BNB Smart Chain (BEP-20)? No. SteadyProxy accepts USDT on Tron (TRC-20) and Ethereum (ERC-20) only. A BEP-20 transfer would go to a network we do not watch, and the funds can't be recovered. If your exchange offers only BEP-20, withdraw on TRC-20 or ERC-20 instead, or pay with another coin. ### I sent USDT on the wrong network. Can it be recovered? Funds sent on another network or in another coin can't be recovered. That is why the payment page names the network next to the address. Before each payment, check the network name in your wallet and the first characters of the address: "T" for Tron, "0x" for Ethereum. ### Why does Tron need 20 confirmations and Ethereum 12? Each network reaches finality in its own way, and the payment configuration sets a safe number of blocks for each. Tron produces blocks faster than Ethereum, so it counts more of them. Credit follows once the required number is reached. ### Do I need TRX or ETH to send USDT? Yes. The network fee is not paid in USDT. On Tron you need TRX for energy and bandwidth; on Ethereum you need ETH for gas. An exchange withdrawal usually charges its own fee instead. Either way, the fee comes on top of the exact amount shown. ### Can I pay from an exchange? Yes, if it withdraws on TRC-20 or ERC-20. Many exchanges take the withdrawal fee out of the amount, so set the amount so the amount received equals the amount shown. The exchange applies its own identity rules; SteadyProxy does not ask for ID. ### Can I split a USDT payment into two transfers? No. Payments are matched by their exact amount, so send one transfer of the amount shown. If you already sent two, write to support with both transaction IDs and the top-up you started. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week. ### Can one USDT top-up pay for ISP and datacenter IPs? Yes. The balance works for every plan. For example, a top-up of $25 can buy one ISP IP at $2.24 and ten datacenter IPs at $12.69 if the total fits. What is left stays on your balance and never expires. ## Which sources explain USDT networks and fees? 1.

"Not found" means we found no public rule, not that none exists. ## Which KYC category does each provider fall into? | Category | Meaning | Providers | | --- | --- | --- | | No KYC stated | The official site says standard orders need no identity documents | SteadyProxy, ProxyEmpire, GhostConnect, NodeMaven, Kestrel Proxies | | Conditional | Documents can be asked for above a spend level, for extra access or after a risk review | Bright Data, Decodo, Oxylabs, Rayobyte, Proxy-Seller, Proxy-Cheap | | Required | Identity check before using the static product | IPRoyal, Infatica | | Not stated | No public KYC rule found for static proxies | MarsProxies, Webshare, FloppyData | *Prices checked on October 19, 2026.* ## Does paying in crypto mean no KYC? No. Payment method and identity checks are separate rules. IPRoyal accepts crypto, yet on 19 October 2026 it stated that static residential proxy users must go through its KYC process. Decodo accepts Bitcoin and says it has a KYC system in place. Proxy-Cheap accepted crypto on 14 October but asked for ID from a $500 top-up. Check both columns before you pay. ## What does no KYC mean at SteadyProxy? No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. Account-number login; email is optional. It is for buyers who prefer not to upload identity documents. You pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC from a balance; the minimum top-up is $25. No KYC does not change the rules of use: Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension. Blocked targets: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. Details are on the [no-KYC page](https://steadyproxy.com/no-kyc/) and the [crypto payments page](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/). ## Which providers replace a static IP that stops working? Most providers publish some replacement rule, but the limits differ a lot. IPRoyal allows one free replacement per new order within 24 hours, under 500 MB used. Rayobyte gives one free replacement per IP per month. Decodo charges $0.70 per IP and excludes crypto purchases. GhostConnect allows one swap per paid term for the whole order. Infatica gives no replacement once IPs are assigned. SteadyProxy publishes one rule for every static IP. If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. Refund rules are on the [refunds page](https://steadyproxy.com/refunds/). ## Which entry price goes with each policy? Entry prices range from one IP to 20 IPs. SteadyProxy, MarsProxies, ProxyEmpire, GhostConnect, Proxy-Seller, Proxy-Cheap and Kestrel Proxies sell a single ISP IP. Decodo starts at 3 IPs, Oxylabs and Rayobyte at 5, Bright Data at 10, Webshare and FloppyData at 20. Prices per IP at every quantity are in the [static proxy price index 2026](https://steadyproxy.com/data/static-proxy-price-index-2026/). ## What else do buyers ask about KYC and crypto? ### Which ISP proxy providers need no KYC and take crypto? On their official sites, ProxyEmpire (19 October 2026), GhostConnect (19 October), NodeMaven (14 October) and Kestrel Proxies (14 October) state both. SteadyProxy also sells dedicated ISP IPs with no ID, no selfie and no documents, paid in crypto. Each provider can still refuse restricted targets or review abuse reports. ### Does IPRoyal require KYC for ISP proxies? Yes, for static residential proxies. On 19 October 2026 IPRoyal's pricing page said static residential proxy users have to go through its KYC process. IPRoyal also accepts crypto and advertised more than 25 coins on 14 October. Its static residential product is the same type of product others call ISP proxies. ### Is Bright Data ISP access subject to KYC? Bright Data's KYC FAQ covers its residential and mobile networks. On 14 October 2026 it stated that ISP and datacenter proxies stay usable while a residential KYC check is pending. Account and payment checks may still apply. Bright Data listed no crypto payment on its pricing pages on 19 October 2026. ### Why is a provider marked conditional? Conditional means documents are not asked for every order, but can be asked for in stated cases. Proxy-Cheap asked for ID from a $500 top-up on 14 October 2026. Oxylabs asks for a short KYC to enable restricted targets. Decodo and Proxy-Seller describe checks for extra access or after a risk review. ### What does not stated mean in the matrix? It means we found no public KYC rule for the static product on the official pages we read. It is not proof that the provider never asks for documents. MarsProxies, Webshare and FloppyData fall in this category. Ask the provider before you pay if identity checks matter to you. ### Can I get a refund without KYC at SteadyProxy? Yes, refunds do not need identity documents. Take an IP that fails within 24 hours of delivery. If we cannot fix or replace it, its price goes back to your balance in full. An order we cannot deliver within 24 hours is credited back in full. The full rules are on the refunds page. ## Which sources did we check? 1.

Checked 19 Oct. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/data/static-proxy-price-index-2026/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) **Quick answer — How much does a static proxy cost per IP in 2026?** As of October 2026, our static proxy price index 2026 puts the median dedicated ISP proxy at $3.00 per IP at 10 IPs. At 100 IPs the median is $2.60, across 9 providers checked on 19 October. Dedicated datacenter IPs cost a median $2.00 and $1.58. **SteadyProxy** charges $20.86 for 10 ISP IPs, paid in crypto with no KYC. ## Key facts | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Prices checked | 19 October 2026 on official pricing pages; 5 providers not re-checked keep their 14 October 2026 date | | Providers | 10 re-checked on 19 October; 5 more dated 14 October; plus SteadyProxy | | Quantities | 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 IPs | | Products | ISP dedicated, ISP shared, datacenter dedicated, datacenter shared (separate tables) | | Median dedicated ISP price per IP | $3.00 at 10 IPs (7 providers); $2.60 at 100 IPs (9 providers) | | Median dedicated datacenter price per IP | $2.00 at 10 IPs (4 providers); $1.58 at 100 IPs (6 providers) | | SteadyProxy ISP | $2.24 for 1 IP; down to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs | | Not measured | Speed, uptime, success rate or stock | ## How was the static proxy price index built? We read each provider's official pricing page on 19 October 2026 and wrote down the total for each quantity. No order was placed and no proxy was tested. - **Price per IP** = published total ÷ number of IPs, in USD before VAT or sales tax. - **Rate-derived prices** (marked *) multiply a published per-IP rate by the quantity. Rayobyte, Oxylabs and GhostConnect publish rates, not totals. - **Starting prices** with no stated quantity, such as IPRoyal's "from $2.70 per proxy", stay out of the quantity tables. - **Terms are not converted.** A 30-day price, a calendar-month price and a 31-day price are shown as published. - **Shared and dedicated IPs are kept apart.** A shared IP serves several customers, so its price is not comparable. - **Vendors not re-checked** on 19 October keep their 14 October 2026 date in a separate table. Proxy-Cheap returned HTTP 403 on 19 October. The same research feeds the [no-KYC and crypto matrix](https://steadyproxy.com/data/isp-proxy-no-kyc-crypto-matrix/) and the [best ISP proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/compare/best-isp-proxies/) ranking. ## What do dedicated ISP proxies cost per IP?

Medians of the other providers' prices per IP in the 19 October tables above. SteadyProxy is not included. | Product | Quantity | Median per IP | Providers | Range | Providers used | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Dedicated ISP | 10 IPs | $3.00 | 7 | $2.78 to $5.00 | Bright Data, Decodo, GhostConnect, MarsProxies, Oxylabs, ProxyEmpire, Rayobyte | | Dedicated ISP | 100 IPs | $2.60 | 9 | $1.79 to $5.00 | Bright Data, Decodo, FloppyData, GhostConnect, MarsProxies, Oxylabs, ProxyEmpire, Rayobyte, Webshare | | Shared ISP | 10 IPs | $1.65 | 2 | $1.50 to $1.80 | Bright Data, Oxylabs | | Shared ISP | 100 IPs | $1.33 | 2 | $1.20 to $1.45 | Bright Data, Oxylabs | | Dedicated datacenter | 10 IPs | $2.00 | 4 | $1.69 to $2.50 | Bright Data, GhostConnect, MarsProxies, Rayobyte | | Dedicated datacenter | 100 IPs | $1.58 | 6 | $0.79 to $2.13 | Bright Data, FloppyData, GhostConnect, MarsProxies, Rayobyte, Webshare | *Prices checked on October 19, 2026.* Method: one value per provider, USD, 19 October rows only, exact quotes and rate-derived prices (*) together; the median of an even count is the mean of the two middle values; rounded to the cent at the end. Exact quotes only: dedicated ISP $2.90 at 10 IPs (4 providers) and $2.60 at 100 IPs (6 providers). ## What does the price index show? Five points stand out in the 19 October 2026 data. 1. **Volume lowers the price per IP.** The median dedicated ISP price falls from $3.00 at 10 IPs to $2.60 at 100 IPs. 2. **Few providers sell one IP.** Only MarsProxies ($2.99), ProxyEmpire ($3.50) and GhostConnect ($5.00) list a 1-IP dedicated ISP price. Others start at 3, 5, 10 or 20 IPs. 3. **The spread is wide.** At 100 dedicated ISP IPs, prices run from $1.79 (Webshare, FloppyData) to $5.00 (GhostConnect) per IP. 4. **Shared ISP IPs cost less.** Bright Data charges $1.80 per shared IP and $3.50 per dedicated IP at 10 IPs. 5. **Terms differ.** MarsProxies and IPRoyal state 30 days. Bright Data bills per calendar month. GhostConnect datacenter IPs run 31 days. Crypto and KYC rules for the same providers are in the [no-KYC and crypto matrix](https://steadyproxy.com/data/isp-proxy-no-kyc-crypto-matrix/). ## How do SteadyProxy prices compare with the index? SteadyProxy rents dedicated ISP IPs at $2.24 for one, $20.86 for 10 and $133.88 for 100, each for 30 days. The price per IP never rises with quantity. On 19 October 2026, MarsProxies charged $2.99 for one ISP IP and $27.81 for 10, for 30 days. Webshare charged $178.50 for 100 dedicated ISP IPs per month. Our datacenter IPs cost $1.34 for one and $59.25 for 100. We do not claim to be the cheapest at any volume: prices change after every check. The full grid is on the [pricing page](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/). ## Is a monthly price the same as a 30-day price? No. A calendar month lasts 28 to 31 days, so a monthly price and a 30-day price are not the same unit. The tables keep each provider's own term. A 31-day rate covers one more day than a 30-day rate. For a long rental, compare the price per day: divide the total by the number of days in the term. ## What else do buyers ask about the price index? ### Why are some cells empty? An empty cell means the provider published no price for that exact quantity on 19 October 2026. Webshare and FloppyData sell dedicated ISP plans from 20 IPs, Bright Data from 10, Oxylabs and Rayobyte from 5, and Decodo from 3. We do not split a larger bundle to invent a smaller price, and we do not guess missing tiers. ### What does the star after a price mean? A star marks a price we calculated from a published per-IP rate. Rayobyte lists $5.00 per ISP IP for 5 to 99 IPs, so 10 IPs give $50.00. Oxylabs and GhostConnect also publish rates. These rows count in the medians, and the median note also gives the result with exact quotes only. ### Why is IPRoyal not in the quantity tables? On 19 October 2026 IPRoyal showed static residential proxies "starting from $2.70" per proxy for 30 days. It did not say which quantity gets that price, and quantity tiers were not public. A starting price is not a quote for 1, 10 or 100 IPs, so it sits in the starting-price table instead. ### Are VAT and sales tax included? No. All prices are shown as published, before VAT or sales tax, unless the provider includes them. Decodo states its prices exclude VAT. Your final invoice can be higher depending on your country and payment method. SteadyProxy prices are paid in crypto from your balance and shown in USD. ### Why is Proxy-Cheap dated 14 October? Proxy-Cheap returned HTTP 403 on every page on 19 October 2026, so we could not re-check it. Its 14 October price of $2.71 for one ISP IP per month stays in a separate, dated table. A "-15%" price of $2.44 also appeared, but we could not confirm its term or quantity, so it is left out. ### Does a lower price per IP mean a better proxy? Not by itself. This index compares public prices, terms and allocation only. It does not measure speed, uptime, stock or how target sites treat an IP. Traffic allowances also differ: Bright Data lists 100 GB per IP per month, Webshare includes 250 GB. Test your own allowed workflow on a small order first. ### How often will the index be updated? The current edition uses checks made on 14 and 19 October 2026, and each table shows its check date. Prices change often, so treat every figure as a dated snapshot. Before you buy, open the provider's pricing page from the sources list and compare it with the date shown here. ## Which sources did we check? 1.

SMTP closed, crypto payment, no KYC. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/datacenter-proxies/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) **Quick answer — Where can I rent static datacenter proxies with crypto?** **SteadyProxy static datacenter proxies** are dedicated IPv4 addresses of hosting networks, one customer per IP, fixed for 30 days. One IP costs $1.34 and 100 IPs cost $59.25 ($0.59/IP · 30 days each), as of October 2026. SMTP ports are closed. You pay in crypto, with no KYC. ## What do you get with a datacenter proxy? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Address type | IPv4 registered to a hosting or datacenter network | | Stability | Same IP for 30 days; no rotation | | Allocation | Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed | | Protocols | HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5 | | Authentication | Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs) | | Closed ports | SMTP 25, 465 and 587 | | Price | $1.34 (1 IP) to $59.25 (100 IPs) per 30 days | ## When is a datacenter IP the right choice? Choose a datacenter IP when the other side only needs a fixed address, not a consumer one: a firewall rule, a SaaS admin panel with an IP allowlist, a partner API, a staging server, or rank tracking on search engines that accept it. Ten datacenter IPs cost $12.69 for 30 days, against $20.86 for ten [ISP proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/). Pay for ISP registration only when a target treats hosting addresses differently. ## Dedicated vs shared datacenter proxies: what is the difference? A dedicated (private) datacenter proxy is used by one customer for the rental; a shared one is sold to several customers at once. Shared datacenter IPs are cheaper, from $1 per IP per month at Bright Data for 100 IPs on 19 October 2026, but other users' traffic affects their reputation. Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed. ## Why are SMTP ports closed? Outgoing email from proxy IPs is the fastest way to get a whole address range listed on spam blocklists, which would harm every other customer. SteadyProxy closes ports 25, 465 and 587 on every IP. Web traffic, APIs, SOCKS5 tunnels to other ports and HTTPS are not affected. Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. ## Can I choose the country of a datacenter IP? Yes, at checkout, among the 10 countries offered: the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and the United States. Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online. Datacenter IPs are geolocated where the hosting network registers them, often a large hub such as Frankfurt, Amsterdam or London. ## How much do datacenter proxies cost? | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 datacenter IP | 1 IP · 30 days | $1.34 | $1.34/IP · 30 days | | 10 datacenter IPs | 10 IPs · 30 days | $12.69 | $1.27/IP · 30 days | | 25 datacenter IPs | 25 IPs · 30 days | $29.85 | $1.19/IP · 30 days | | 50 datacenter IPs | 50 IPs · 30 days | $33.75 | $0.68/IP · 30 days | | 100 datacenter IPs | 100 IPs · 30 days | $59.25 | $0.59/IP · 30 days | In every plan: One customer per IP for 30 days · HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 · Username/password or IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs) · SMTP ports 25, 465 and 587 closed **Before you pay** - Your top-up is the plan price. Starting from a plan, the checkout asks for its exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan; anything left stays on your balance. - Unused balance stays on your account and never expires. When a purchase costs less than the minimum top-up, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days of the payment, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. The rest of the balance is not paid back, except where the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min ## Datacenter proxy questions ### Are datacenter proxies detected more easily? IP databases label most datacenter addresses as hosting, and some websites score hosting traffic higher. That is a property of the address type, not a defect. For targets that do, use an [ISP proxy](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/); for APIs, allowlists and monitoring, a datacenter IP works and costs less. ### Is a datacenter proxy IPv4 or IPv6? The plans on this site are IPv4. Each IP is a single address, not a subnet, rented to one customer for 30 days. ### Can I send email through a datacenter proxy? No. Ports 25, 465 and 587 are closed on every IP to protect the address ranges from spam blocklists. Use an email service provider for email. ### How many datacenter IPs do I need? Usually one per allowlist entry or per account,. For monitoring, start small and add IPs when a target slows your requests down. [How many static IPs do I need?](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/how-many-static-ips/) ### What if a datacenter IP is listed on a blocklist? Tell support with the IP and the list name. If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. Within 24 hours of delivery, an IP that does not work and cannot be fixed or replaced is credited back in full. ### Do datacenter proxies cost less than ISP proxies elsewhere too? Yes, across the market. On 19 October 2026, 100 dedicated datacenter IPs cost $79 per month at FloppyData and $170 at Bright Data, against $179 and $275 for 100 dedicated ISP IPs at the same sellers.

A static ISP proxy, also called a static residential proxy, is a fixed IPv4 address registered to a consumer internet service provider and hosted on a server in a datacenter. Websites see an ISP network in the registry data, and the IP stays the same for your whole rental. At SteadyProxy the rental lasts 30 days. Our guide [What is an ISP proxy?](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/what-is-an-isp-proxy/) explains it in detail. ### Do your ISP proxies run on home devices? No. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. No phone, laptop or home router carries your traffic. This is how most static residential products on the market work, because a server can keep one IP fixed for a month. If you need IPs that run on consumer devices, you need a rotating residential product, which SteadyProxy does not sell. ### What is the difference between a dedicated and a shared proxy? A dedicated proxy is used by one customer at a time; a shared proxy is used by several customers at once. At SteadyProxy, every IP is dedicated. Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed. Dedicated does not mean private or unused before. The websites you visit still see the IP, and the IP may have been rented by someone else before your rental. ### Which countries and cities can I choose? SteadyProxy has country pages for the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, plus 18 city pages. Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online. A city can be chosen only when the checkout lists it; otherwise the IP is allocated in the country you pick. Some countries are not available, for legal or sourcing reasons, including countries and regions under comprehensive sanctions. Browse the [country pages](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/). ### Which protocols and authentication methods are supported? Every IP supports HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5. Authentication: Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs). Each IP comes with its own host, port, username and password, shown in your dashboard. Use HTTP for browsers and most scraping libraries, and SOCKS5 for tools that need it. The [IP allowlisting guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/ip-allowlisting/) explains how to log in without a password from a fixed server. ### Can I send email through a SteadyProxy IP? No. SMTP ports 25, 465 and 587 are closed on every IP, so you cannot send email through our proxies. The full list of blocked targets is: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. These blocks protect the IPs from spam complaints. Bulk or unsolicited messages are also forbidden by the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/), whatever the channel. ## What do static proxies cost, and how do I pay? ### How much does a static proxy cost? As of October 2026, one ISP IP costs $2.24 for 30 days, 10 ISP IPs cost $20.86 and 100 cost $133.88, which is $1.34/IP · 30 days. One datacenter IP costs $1.34, and 100 cost $59.25. Billing is per IP, not per GB. Each tier is 25% under the lowest public price we found for the same quantity on 19 October 2026. See [pricing](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/). ### Do I need KYC to buy? No. No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. Account-number login; email is optional. SteadyProxy is built for buyers who prefer not to upload identity documents. No KYC does not mean no rules: we may refuse or suspend service in case of abuse, fraud or a legal obligation, and the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/) applies to every account. The [no-KYC page](https://steadyproxy.com/no-kyc/) explains the policy. ### Which coins and networks can I pay with? You can pay in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and Litecoin use their own networks. USDT can be sent on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), and USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20). Send the exact amount shown, on the network shown, then click I've sent the payment. The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once confirmed. See [crypto payments](https://steadyproxy.com/crypto-payments/). ### What is the minimum top-up? The minimum top-up is $25. Starting from a plan, the top-up is its exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan. For example, one ISP IP costs $2.24, so you top up $25. The part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if unspent. The rest of your balance never expires. ## How do delivery, renewal and refunds work? ### How fast are the IPs delivered? Your IP list (host, port, username, password, country, end date) appears in your dashboard once the IPs are allocated. We do not promise a delivery time in minutes, because allocation depends on stock in the country you choose. If we cannot deliver an order within 24 hours, its full price is credited back to your balance. Check the [status page](https://steadyproxy.com/status/) if delivery seems slow, and write to support with the order details. ### How does renewal work? Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. You renew each rental yourself, from your balance, before the end date shown in your IP list. Nothing renews on its own, so top up in time if your balance is low. Our guide on [static IP lifetime](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/static-ip-lifetime/) explains how to plan renewals for allowlists and long-running accounts. ### Can I replace an IP that does not work? Yes, when stock allows. If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. Give support the IP address, the time of the failure with its time zone and the error you see. A replacement IP is a new address, so update any allowlist or saved configuration that used the old one. A website that refuses the IP is not a fault of the IP itself. ### What is the refund policy? Within 24 hours of delivery, an IP that does not work and that we cannot fix or replace is credited back to your balance in full. An order we cannot deliver within 24 hours is credited back in full. Top-ups are not paid back, except where the law requires it, and the part added only to reach the minimum follows the 30-day rule. Read the [refund policy](https://steadyproxy.com/refunds/). ## What data is kept, and what if I lose access? ### Do you keep logs? We do not log the content of your requests, full URLs or page data. To handle abuse reports and billing disputes, we keep connection metadata (time, account, exit IP, target hostname, bytes) for up to 30 days, then delete it. Account, order and top-up records are kept while your account is open. The [privacy policy](https://steadyproxy.com/privacy/) gives the full list. ### What happens if I lose my account number? Your account number is your login: save it somewhere safe. Add an email (optional) if you want a way to recover it. Without an email, a lost account number cannot be recovered. Store the number in a password manager when you open the account. A public transaction ID alone cannot prove that an account is yours. We never ask for your account number by email or chat. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # Static proxy glossary > Static proxy glossary: ASN, ISP proxy, /24 subnet, SOCKS5, WHOIS, KYC, TXID and 20+ more terms, explained for SteadyProxy's no-KYC, crypto-paid static IPs. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/glossary/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) Plain definitions of the network, proxy and payment terms used on this site. **Quick answer — What do static proxy terms like ASN, ISP proxy and /24 mean?** This static proxy glossary defines the terms used on **SteadyProxy** pages. In short: an ASN identifies the network that announces an IP; an ISP proxy is an IP registered to a consumer ISP but hosted in a datacenter; a /24 subnet is a block of 256 IPv4 addresses. SteadyProxy rents such IPs for 30 days, from $2.24 as of October 2026, with no KYC and crypto payment. ## How do these terms apply to SteadyProxy? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Proxy types sold | ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter | | Rental | Per IP, 30 days | | Allocation | Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed | | Protocols | HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5 | | Authentication | Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs) | | Subnets | Several IPs in one order can share the same /24 subnet; subnet diversity is not guaranteed | ## Which network and proxy terms are used? **ASN (autonomous system number)** — A number that identifies a network on the internet, such as an ISP or a hosting company. Each IP block is announced by one ASN. A lookup of an IP's ASN tells you which network it belongs to, which is how websites tell ISP IPs from datacenter IPs. **ISP proxy** — A proxy whose IP is registered to a consumer internet service provider but runs on a server in a datacenter. It looks like an ISP connection in registry data and stays fixed for the rental. At SteadyProxy, ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. **Static residential proxy** — The market's other name for an ISP proxy. "Residential" refers to the ISP registration of the IP, not to a home device. Most static residential products, ours included, are hosted on servers. **Datacenter proxy** — A proxy whose IP is registered to a hosting network. Datacenter IPs cost less, but websites recognise them as hosting addresses more often. See [dedicated datacenter proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/datacenter-proxies/). **Dedicated proxy** — An IP used by one customer at a time. Dedicated does not mean private or unused before: websites still see the IP, and it may have had other customers before your rental. **Shared proxy** — An IP used by several customers at the same time. It costs less, but other users' traffic can affect how websites treat it. SteadyProxy does not sell shared IPs. **Rotating proxy** — A proxy that gives you a different IP on each new connection or after a set time, from a large pool. It is billed per GB in most cases. SteadyProxy sells static IPs only. **Sticky session** — A setting of rotating proxies that keeps the same IP for a limited time, usually minutes. A static IP needs no sticky session: it stays the same for the whole 30-day rental. **/24 subnet** — A block of 256 IPv4 addresses that share their first three numbers, for example 203.0.113.0 to 203.0.113.255. Some websites treat all IPs of one /24 alike. Several IPs in one order can share the same /24 subnet; subnet diversity is not guaranteed. **Exit IP** — The IP address that websites see when your traffic leaves the proxy. With a static proxy, the exit IP is the IP you rent. **IP allowlist** — A list of source IPs allowed to use a service without another login. You can allowlist up to 10 of your own IPs on your SteadyProxy account, and a firewall or SaaS panel can allowlist the static IP you rent from us. **SOCKS5** — A proxy protocol that carries any TCP traffic, not only web pages. Use it for tools that are not browsers. The `socks5h` scheme also sends DNS lookups through the proxy. **HTTP CONNECT** — The method an HTTP proxy uses to open a tunnel for HTTPS traffic. The proxy forwards encrypted data and cannot read the page content. **Geolocation database** — A commercial database that maps IPs to a country and a city. Databases disagree and update on their own schedule, so one IP can show different cities in different tools. **WHOIS** — A public lookup service that shows who holds an IP block or a domain. A WHOIS lookup on an ISP proxy IP shows the ISP that holds the block. **RIR (regional internet registry)** — One of five organisations that allocate IP blocks in a region and keep the WHOIS records: ARIN, RIPE NCC, APNIC, LACNIC and AFRINIC. **Fair use** — A rule that allows normal use of an IP without a fixed traffic limit, while heavy use that harms the network may be slowed or paused. At SteadyProxy: Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. ## Which account and payment terms are used? **KYC (know your customer)** — Identity checks with ID documents or selfies. SteadyProxy has none: No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. **Account number** — Your login at SteadyProxy. Your account number is your login: save it somewhere safe. Add an email (optional) if you want a way to recover it. Without an email, a lost account number cannot be recovered. **Top-up** — A crypto payment that adds money to your SteadyProxy balance. The minimum is $25; starting from a plan, the top-up is its exact price, or the minimum for a smaller plan. **TXID (transaction ID)** — The public identifier of a blockchain transaction. Give it to support when you ask about a payment. A TXID alone does not prove who owns an account, because anyone can read it. **Network (blockchain)** — The blockchain a coin travels on, such as Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20) for USDT. Always send on the network shown on the payment page. **Confirmation** — A new block added after your transaction. A top-up is credited once it reaches the number of confirmations the payment page shows for its network. **Renewal** — Paying for another 30 days of an IP you already rent. At SteadyProxy: Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # Static proxy guides > Static proxy guides from SteadyProxy: 13 how-tos on ISP proxies, static IP tests, SOCKS5, Python, Playwright, Selenium and allowlisting.

Start with [what is an ISP proxy?](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/what-is-an-isp-proxy/) if the product is new to you, then read [are static residential proxies really residential?](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/are-static-residential-proxies-really-residential/) before you compare offers. If you already have IPs, run the [static IP test](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/check-if-a-proxy-is-static/) first, then open the setup guide for your tool. Terms such as ASN, CIDR and exit IP are defined in the [glossary](https://steadyproxy.com/glossary/). Plans and prices are on the [pricing page](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/). ## What else do readers ask about these guides? ### Do the code samples work with any static proxy provider? Yes. The scripts take a host, a port, a username and a password, which every static proxy provider supplies in some form. Our gateway host and ports appear only as defaults. Replace them with the values of your own IPs. The test endpoints, api.ipify.org and ipinfo.io, are public and work with any proxy. ### How were the code samples tested? On 19 October 2026, every Python sample passed python -m py_compile and the JavaScript sample passed node --check. The Requests, SOCKS5, static-test and forwarder scripts also ran through a local test proxy that requires a username and password, against api.ipify.org and ipinfo.io. Browser automation samples were syntax-checked only. ### Where do I find the host, port and password for my IP? In your dashboard. Your IP list (host, port, username, password, country, end date) appears in your dashboard once the IPs are allocated. Each static IP has its own four values, so copy them per IP rather than building them from a pattern. With the IP allowlist method, you need only the host and port. ### Which guide helps me choose between ISP and datacenter IPs? Read [what is an ISP proxy?](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/what-is-an-isp-proxy/) and [how many static IPs do I need?](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/how-many-static-ips/). The full product comparison is on [ISP vs residential vs datacenter proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/isp-vs-residential-vs-datacenter-proxies/). In short, choose ISP IPs when the ISP network name matters, and datacenter IPs for allowlists. ### Do the guides apply to every use? They apply to legitimate uses only, such as managing your own or your clients' business accounts, local price and search checks, rank tracking, B2B allowlisting and QA testing. Every use must follow our [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/). Some targets are blocked on every IP: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. ### How often are the guides updated? Each guide shows its update date at the top, and this set was last reviewed on 19 October 2026. We re-check the code and the cited documentation when a tool changes its proxy options. Facts about our service come from the same source as our [pricing](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/) and [FAQ](https://steadyproxy.com/faq/) pages. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # Are static residential proxies really residential? The honest answer > Are static residential proxies really residential? Most are ISP-registered IPv4 hosted in datacenters. Check WHOIS, ASN and usage type in 3 steps. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/guides/are-static-residential-proxies-really-residential/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) What the word residential really refers to, how to read WHOIS and IP databases yourself, and what it changes for your project. **Quick answer — Are static residential proxies really residential?** Are static residential proxies really residential? In the registry, yes; in the hardware, mostly no. Most static residential offers are IPv4 addresses registered to a consumer ISP but hosted on servers in a datacenter. **SteadyProxy** sells exactly that and says so: ISP-registered, datacenter-hosted IPs, from $2.24 for 30 days as of October 2026. Check any IP yourself with WHOIS, its ASN and the usage type of IP databases. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | What residential refers to | The registration: the IP block and its ASN belong to a consumer ISP | | Where the IP usually runs | On servers in a datacenter, not on a home router | | Vendors who say so | Oxylabs and Decodo describe their ISP proxies as hosted in datacenters (checked 19 Oct 2026) | | What WHOIS / RDAP shows | The holder of the IP block and its contacts, not the server's physical place | | RIPE country field | RIPE's own documentation says it cannot reliably map IPs to countries | | Usage type in IP databases | IPinfo ASN type: isp, hosting, business, education, government. MaxMind user_type: residential, hosting, business and 12 more | | SteadyProxy | ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices | ## What makes an IP address residential? Nothing inside the IP address itself. An IPv4 address is a number; residential is a label that other parties attach to it. Three sources set that label. The regional internet registry (RIPE NCC, ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC or AFRINIC) records which organisation holds the block. The routing system shows which autonomous system (ASN) announces it. Commercial IP databases then classify the network, for example as an ISP or a hosting company. When all three point to a broadband provider, the IP looks residential, wherever the server sits. ## Why are static residential IPs hosted in datacenters? Because a static IP must stay online and unchanged for weeks. A real home connection goes offline when the router restarts, and many ISPs reassign home IPs from time to time. A server in a datacenter runs around the clock on a fixed address. So the industry leases IPv4 ranges registered to ISPs and announces them from datacenter servers. Oxylabs writes that its ISP proxies are hosted in data centers but registered under ISPs. Decodo's static residential page states its IPs are hosted on datacenter servers, not on consumer devices (both checked on 19 October 2026). Our own model is the same. We resell static ISP and datacenter IPs from established upstream partner networks that lease IPv4 ranges registered to internet service providers or hosting networks. ## How do I read WHOIS and RDAP records for a proxy IP? Look up the exit IP, not the host name you connect to. First get the exit IP through the proxy with api.ipify.org. Then query the registry with RDAP, the structured successor of WHOIS: rdap.org redirects your query to the right registry. Read four fields: - **handle or range**: the block that contains the IP, for example a /24; - **name (netname)**: the label the holder gave the block; - **entities**: the holder and its contacts, including abuse; - **country**: a registry field, not a location. RIPE's documentation says it has never been specified what this country represents, and that it cannot be used reliably to map IPs to countries. ARIN warns the same way that an address may not reflect the physical location. Replace 203.0.113.10 (a documentation address) with your exit IP: *Registry record, ASN and database location of one IP* ```bash # Registry record (RDAP) for the exit IP; -L follows the redirect to RIPE, ARIN, APNIC... curl -s -L https://rdap.org/ip/203.0.113.10 # ASN, organisation and location as one IP database sees them curl -s https://ipinfo.io/203.0.113.10/json # Classic WHOIS, if the whois tool is installed whois 203.0.113.10 ``` The same lookups in Python, printing only the useful fields. We ran it on 19 October 2026 on a hosting-network IP: RDAP returned the block, its name and its contacts, and ipinfo.io returned the ASN and a city. *ip_registry.py: who holds an IP and how a database sees it* ```python """Show who an IP is registered to (RDAP) and how one IP database classifies it. Usage: python ip_registry.py 203.0.113.10 Install: python -m pip install requests """ import sys import requests ip = sys.argv[1] # RDAP: the registry record (RIPE, ARIN, APNIC, LACNIC or AFRINIC); rdap.org redirects to the right one rdap = requests.get("https://rdap.org/ip/" + ip, timeout=30) rdap.raise_for_status() record = rdap.json() print("Registry block :", record.get("handle")) print("Network name :", record.get("name")) print("Registry country:", record.get("country")) for entity in record.get("entities", []): vcard = entity.get("vcardArray", ["", []])[1] names = [item[3] for item in vcard if item[0] == "fn"] print("Contact :", ", ".join(entity.get("roles", [])), "-", " / ".join(names)) # IP database view: ASN + organisation, and the location the database assigns info = requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/" + ip + "/json", timeout=30) info.raise_for_status() data = info.json() print("ASN and org :", data.get("org")) print("Reverse DNS :", data.get("hostname", "-")) print("Database place :", data.get("city"), data.get("region"), data.get("country")) ``` ## What does the usage type field of IP databases say? IP databases add a usage type that sites use for risk scoring. IPinfo gives each ASN a type: isp, hosting, business, education or government. MaxMind's GeoIP2 Insights service returns a user_type with values such as residential, hosting, business and cellular, plus a connection_type such as Cable/DSL or Corporate. MaxMind also flags addresses that belong to a hosting provider. Each vendor uses its own method, so two databases can disagree about the same ISP proxy: one may say isp, another may flag hosting. Paid tiers are usually needed for these fields, so free lookups often show only the ASN and organisation. ## Which signal tells you what? | Signal | Where to read it | What it tells you | What it does not tell you | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Registry holder | RDAP / WHOIS (RIPE, ARIN, APNIC…) | Which organisation holds the IP block | Where the server is | | ASN and org | ipinfo.io org field, BGP tools | Which network announces the IP | Whether it is a home line | | Usage type | IPinfo ASN type, MaxMind user_type | How one vendor classifies the network | How other vendors classify it | | Geolocation | IP databases | The country and city a database assigns | A verified physical address | | Stability | Hourly checks over 24 hours | Whether the IP stays the same | Who else used the IP before | ## What does this mean for you? Buy for the job, not for the word residential. An ISP-registered static IP is a good fit when you need one fixed IP per business account, an allowlisted source IP or repeat local checks. A site that relies on a database flagging hosting may still treat the IP like a datacenter address. If your task needs the traffic of real consumer connections, that is a rotating residential network, and those IPs change often. After delivery, read the org field of each IP and keep a log. A specific ISP or ASN can be ordered only when the checkout lists it; check the registered network of each IP after delivery. The [static IP test](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/check-if-a-proxy-is-static/) shows how. ## How does SteadyProxy describe its own static residential IPs? SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. We resell static ISP and datacenter IPs from established upstream partner networks that lease IPv4 ranges registered to internet service providers or hosting networks. We publish this on the [sourcing page](https://steadyproxy.com/sourcing/) and the [static residential proxies page](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/). Plans start at $2.24 for one ISP IP and go down to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs, on the [pricing page](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/). ## What else do people ask about static residential proxies? ### Is it misleading to call a datacenter-hosted IP residential? It is a market convention, and it can mislead when it is not explained. The IP is registered to a consumer ISP, which is what residential refers to in this market. The hardware is a server. A fair offer states both facts, as Oxylabs, Decodo and SteadyProxy do. Ask any provider where its static IPs are hosted before you buy. ### Can a static IP be on a real home connection? It can exist, but it is rare and hard to keep fixed. A home line depends on one router, one power supply and the ISP's address policy, and many ISPs reassign home IPs. Products that promise both a fixed IP for 30 days and a home connection deserve questions about uptime and how the IP stays the same. ### How do I check which ISP my proxy IP is registered to? Open https://ipinfo.io/json through the proxy and read the org field: it shows the ASN number and the network name, for example a broadband provider. Then query RDAP at rdap.org for the exit IP to see the registry holder of the block. Both lookups are free for occasional use. ### Why does one IP database say ISP and another say hosting? Each vendor classifies networks with its own data and rules. IPinfo types the ASN as a whole, while MaxMind can flag a single address as belonging to a hosting provider. A range leased from an ISP and announced from a datacenter can fall on either side. No single database is the truth; the target site decides which one it trusts. ### Does the WHOIS country prove where the proxy is? No. RIPE's documentation states that the country attribute cannot be used reliably to map IP addresses to countries, and ARIN says its address field may not reflect a physical location. Geolocation databases are a better guide to what websites assume, but they are estimates too. Test the IP against the sites you care about. ### Are SteadyProxy's ISP IPs on home devices? No. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. They are registered to consumer internet service providers, which is why they appear under ISP networks, and they stay fixed for each 30-day rental. If you need a guarantee about one specific ISP or ASN, order it only when the checkout lists it. ### Is a static residential proxy better than a datacenter proxy? Only when the ISP registration matters to the destination. For allowlisting a firewall or a SaaS admin panel, the destination checks the IP itself, so a [dedicated datacenter IP](https://steadyproxy.com/datacenter-proxies/) at $1.34 for 30 days does the same job. For local consumer-facing checks, an ISP network name can match what sites expect from local visitors. ## Which sources does this guide use? 1.

Point the profile at the IP's host and port, log in once, and confirm the exit IP. **Quick answer — How do I set up a browser proxy with a static IP?** For a browser proxy setup with a static IP, give each IP its own browser profile and point that profile at the IP's host and port. Sign in when the browser asks for the proxy username and password, or use the IP allowlist. Then open api.ipify.org to confirm the exit IP. **SteadyProxy** gives each static IP its own host, port, username and password, fixed for 30 days. Updated 19 October 2026. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | One IP, one profile | Keeps cookies and logins tied to the same IP | | Chrome and Edge | System proxy settings, or a --proxy-server launch flag per profile | | Firefox | Its own proxy settings in each profile (Settings > Network Settings) | | Login | The browser asks for the proxy username and password on the HTTP port | | SteadyProxy authentication | Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs) | | Check | api.ipify.org shows the exit IP; ipinfo.io/json the network and place | | SOCKS5 in Firefox | Tick Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5 | ## Why use one browser profile per static IP? A profile keeps its own cookies, logins, history and proxy setting. If you manage several business accounts, for example for different clients, one profile per account and per IP keeps each login history on one stable address. It also prevents mistakes: a tab opened in the wrong window cannot use the wrong IP. Name each profile after the account and the IP's country. Count your IPs with [how many static IPs do I need?](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/how-many-static-ips/). ## How do I set a static proxy in Chrome or Edge? Chrome and Edge use the system proxy settings by default, which applies one proxy to the whole computer. To give one profile its own static IP, start the browser with two switches: --user-data-dir for a separate profile folder and --proxy-server for the host and port. The Chromium documentation gives the --proxy-server format as a scheme, a host and a port, with no field for a login. On the HTTP port, the browser then shows a sign-in box for the proxy username and password. Edge accepts the same switches, with msedge.exe instead of chrome.exe. *macOS and Linux: one Chrome profile per static IP* ```bash # macOS: a separate Chrome profile that always uses one static IP open -na "Google Chrome" --args --user-data-dir="$HOME/chrome-static-uk" \ --proxy-server="http://gw.steadyproxy.com:7777" # Linux: same idea google-chrome --user-data-dir="$HOME/chrome-static-uk" \ --proxy-server="http://gw.steadyproxy.com:7777" ``` *Windows: one Chrome profile per static IP* ```powershell # Windows (PowerShell): a separate Chrome profile that always uses one static IP & "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" ` --user-data-dir="$env:USERPROFILE\chrome-static-uk" ` --proxy-server="http://gw.steadyproxy.com:7777" ``` ## How do I set a static proxy in Firefox? Firefox has its own proxy settings in each profile. Create a profile in about:profiles for each IP. In that profile, open Settings, go to Network Settings and click Settings. Choose Manual proxy configuration and enter the host and port in HTTP Proxy. Tick Also use this proxy for HTTPS, then click OK. Firefox asks for the username and password at the first request. For SOCKS5, use the SOCKS Host field instead, select SOCKS v5 and tick Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5; this panel has no SOCKS login field, so use the IP allowlist there. Details are in the [SOCKS5 guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/socks5-static-proxy/). ## Can I use a proxy extension instead? Yes. Proxy manager extensions switch the proxy of one profile without launch flags, and some store the login. They need wide permissions over your browsing, so install only one from a publisher you trust, and keep one profile per IP anyway. An extension does not change the exit IP rules: the target still sees the static IP, and the check below still applies. ## How do I check the browser really uses the static IP? Open https://api.ipify.org in the profile: it must show the static IP from your dashboard list. Then open https://ipinfo.io/json to see the network (org) and the country. Repeat after a browser update and after each renewal. If you see your own IP, the proxy setting is not active in that profile. If you see an error page, check the host, the port, the login, or whether this machine's IP is on your allowlist. ## What else do people ask about browser proxy setup? ### Why does Chrome ignore the username and password in my proxy URL? Chrome's --proxy-server switch takes a scheme, a host and a port. The Chromium documentation shows no field for a username or password there. Give the host and port only, then type the login in the sign-in box, or use the IP allowlist. For automated Chrome, see the two methods in our [Selenium guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/selenium-static-proxy/). ### Can two browser profiles use two different static IPs at once? Yes. Each profile started with its own --user-data-dir and --proxy-server runs with its own proxy. Firefox profiles keep separate proxy settings too. Open each profile in its own window and keep a short label in the profile name, so you always know which IP a window uses. ### Does the system proxy setting affect other apps? Yes. Windows and macOS proxy settings apply to every app that follows them, including Chrome and Edge without launch flags. For one static IP per account, prefer per-profile settings. Use the system setting only if the whole computer should exit through one static IP. ### Which port should I use in a browser, HTTP or SOCKS5? The HTTP port is the simplest: browsers ask for the login and send HTTPS through a CONNECT tunnel. Use SOCKS5 when you prefer remote DNS in Firefox or when an extension needs it. Both give the same exit IP. SteadyProxy static IPs support HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5. ### Should the browser language match the IP's country? For local QA and local price or search checks, matching language settings gives results closer to what local visitors see. Set the language in the browser settings of that profile. It changes the content you receive, not the IP; the static IP still decides the country websites assign to you. ### How much does a static IP for one browser profile cost? As of October 2026, one ISP IP costs $2.24 and one dedicated datacenter IP costs $1.34, each for 30 days. Ten ISP IPs cost $20.86. Payment is in crypto, with no KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents.

Tested scripts; SteadyProxy IPs, no KYC, crypto. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/guides/check-if-a-proxy-is-static/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) A static proxy keeps the same exit IP, network and country for the whole rental. Here is a repeatable way to prove it, with tested curl and Python scripts. **Quick answer — How do I check if a proxy is static?** To check if a proxy is static, request api.ipify.org and ipinfo.io/json through it once an hour for at least 24 hours. Then compare the exit IP, the ASN (the org field) and the country across all successful checks. One IP and one ASN in every row means the proxy stayed static over that window. **SteadyProxy** static IPs are meant to stay fixed for each 30-day rental; this test lets you verify it yourself. Updated 19 October 2026. ## What are the key facts of the test? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Test endpoints | api.ipify.org (exit IP only) and ipinfo.io/json (IP, org/ASN, city, region, country) | | Suggested window | 24 hours, one check per hour (24 checks); repeat on day 7 for long jobs | | Static result | The same IP and the same ASN in every successful check | | Rotating result | Two or more distinct IPs, or a change of ASN | | Failed request | A timeout is not an IP change: compare successful rows only | | City changes | Can happen when a database updates; IP and ASN are the stronger signals | | Tested | Both scripts ran on 19 October 2026 through a password-protected test proxy | ## What exactly should stay the same on a static proxy? Three values must not change: the exit IP, the ASN and the country. The exit IP is the address websites see; api.ipify.org returns only that. The ASN is the network that announces the IP; ipinfo.io shows it in the org field, for example AS9009 followed by a network name. The country comes from an IP database. The city and region can move when that database is updated, even if the IP stays the same. Note that the host you connect to is not always the exit IP: always read the exit IP through the proxy. ## How do I check a proxy with curl? Run one check first to see the fields, then the loop. Replace USERNAME, PASSWORD, host and port with the four values shown for your IP in the dashboard. The loop writes one line per check to ip-log.txt and sleeps 3,600 seconds between checks. The last two commands count distinct IPs and networks: one line each means the proxy stayed static during the test. *curl: one check, then 24 hourly checks* ```bash # One check through the proxy: IP, network (org = ASN + name), country, city curl -s -m 30 -x "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@gw.steadyproxy.com:7777" https://ipinfo.io/json # 24 checks, one per hour, one line per check in ip-log.txt PROXY="http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@gw.steadyproxy.com:7777" for i in $(seq 1 24); do printf '%s ' "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" >> ip-log.txt curl -s -m 30 -x "$PROXY" https://ipinfo.io/json | tr -d '\n' >> ip-log.txt echo >> ip-log.txt sleep 3600 done # Count the distinct exit IPs and networks in the log (one line each = static) grep -o '"ip": *"[^"]*"' ip-log.txt | sort | uniq -c grep -o '"org": *"[^"]*"' ip-log.txt | sort | uniq -c ``` ## How do I check a proxy with Python? The Python script does the same test and writes a CSV file you can open in a spreadsheet. It reads the proxy details from environment variables (PROXY_HOST, PROXY_PORT, PROXY_USER, PROXY_PASS) and two settings: CHECKS (default 24) and INTERVAL_SECONDS (default 3600). It queries both endpoints in each round, so you can also catch a mismatch between them. At the end it prints the distinct IPs, networks and countries, and a one-line result. We ran it on 19 October 2026 with Python 3.14 and Requests 2.34, through a local test proxy that requires a username and password. *check_static.py: log IP, ASN and location over time* ```python """Log the exit IP, network and location of one proxy over time.

Run it for at least 24 hours. Many rotating offers change the IP per request, per session or after a set number of minutes, so a few checks in one minute can miss a change. For a job that runs every week, repeat the test after 7 days. One check per hour is enough and stays far below the usage limits of free lookup services. Use a shorter interval only for a short test, such as 12 checks 5 minutes apart. ## What if the IP changes during the test? First rule out a setup error. Check that every request used the same host, port and username: two different IPs often come from two different credential lines. Then check whether a system proxy or VPN on your machine took over some requests; the Python script ignores such settings with trust_env = False. If the exit IP of one SteadyProxy credential line really changes during its rental, send your log to support. Our replacement rule: If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. ## Why can the location change while the IP stays the same? Because location is an estimate from a database, not a property of the IP. Geolocation vendors update their data, and a static IP can move from one city to a nearby one between updates. Registry data is no better guide: RIPE's documentation says its country attribute cannot be used reliably to map IPs to countries. Treat a change of city as a database event and a change of IP or ASN as a real change. Our guide [are static residential proxies really residential?](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/are-static-residential-proxies-really-residential/) explains how to read these records. ## What else do people ask about testing static proxies? ### How many checks prove that a proxy is static? No number proves it for the future; a test only describes the window you measured. In practice, 24 hourly checks with one IP and one ASN show that the proxy did not rotate for a day. Repeat the test after a week and keep the logs. At SteadyProxy, each IP is meant to stay fixed for its 30-day rental. ### Why use both api.ipify.org and ipinfo.io? api.ipify.org returns only the IP, which makes it a clean reference. ipinfo.io adds the ASN and organisation, the city, the region and the country. If the two services ever report different IPs in the same round, your client may be opening several connections through different routes. That is worth checking before you trust any result. ### Can a sticky session look static in a short test? Yes. A rotating residential proxy with a sticky session keeps one IP for a set time, often minutes, then changes. A test of a few minutes would look static. That is why this guide asks for checks over at least 24 hours. A real static IP keeps the same IP and ASN across days. ### Does a failed request mean the IP changed? No. A timeout or a proxy error only means that one request did not complete. The scripts skip failed rounds and compare successful rows only. Many failures in a row deserve a look: check the credentials, the port and your own connection, then contact support if the problem stays. ### Is it fine to send these checks to ipinfo.io without a token? For light use, yes: one request per hour is very light traffic. ipinfo.io answers basic requests without a token, as our test on 19 October 2026 showed, and offers tokens for higher volumes. If you test many IPs at once, create a free token and add it to the request, or use api.ipify.org alone. ### Should I test the exit IP or the host in my dashboard? The exit IP. The host you connect to can be a name or an address that differs from the IP websites see. Run the check through the proxy and use the IP returned by api.ipify.org. That exit IP is also the one to add to an allowlist or to look up in WHOIS. ### Can I run the test on a SteadyProxy IP before relying on it? Yes, and we recommend it. Order one IP from $2.24 for 30 days, run the Python script for a day, and read the log. Under our [refund policy](https://steadyproxy.com/refunds/), an IP that does not work in the first 24 hours after delivery, and that we cannot fix or replace, is credited back to your balance in full. ## Which sources does this guide use? 1.

One IP per account, client, location or allowlist, then add spares. **Quick answer — How many static IPs do I need?** How many static IPs do I need? Count one IP per identity that must stay stable: per business account, per client, per location you check from and per allowlist source. Then add about one spare for every ten IPs. **SteadyProxy** sells 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 ISP IPs per order; 10 ISP IPs cost $20.86 for 30 days as of October 2026. ## What are the counting rules? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Accounts | One IP per business account or client that logs in from a fixed IP | | Locations | One IP per country or city you check from | | Allowlists | One IP per source system, plus one backup IP | | Spares | About one spare per ten IPs in use (our planning advice) | | ISP plan sizes | 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 IPs | | Datacenter plan sizes | 1, 10, 25, 50 and 100 IPs | | Volume price | Per-IP price never rises with quantity; down to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 ISP IPs | ## How do I count static IPs for business accounts? Give each account its own IP and keep that pairing for as long as the account exists. That way each account shows one stable address in its login history, and a problem on one IP touches one account only. This applies to your own brands, to the accounts of agency clients who hired you, and to your own marketplace seller accounts. Do not share one IP between accounts that belong to different clients. The [social media agencies page](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/social-media-agencies/) shows this setup in more detail. ## How many IPs do I need for local price, ad or search checks? Count locations, not queries. One static IP in a city can run many light checks per day for that city, spread over hours. If you check 5 cities, start with 5 IPs. Add a second IP per city only when the volume per IP becomes high for the target sites, or when you need a backup. Respect each site's terms and rate limits. For rank tracking from a fixed place, see the [SEO monitoring page](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/seo-monitoring/). ## How many IPs do I need for IP allowlisting? Two per destination is a safe minimum: one in daily use and one backup already on the allowlist. If the main IP fails or is replaced, traffic moves to the backup without a new approval. Several systems behind one firewall can share the same pair. The [allowlisting guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/ip-allowlisting/) walks through each step. For pure allowlisting, a [dedicated datacenter IP](https://steadyproxy.com/datacenter-proxies/) at $1.34 for 30 days is often enough. ## Worked example: how many IPs does an agency with 18 clients need? *Example only. 25 IPs match the 25-IP plan: $50.46 for 30 days, as of October 2026.* | Need | Rule | IPs | | --- | --- | --- | | 18 client business accounts | One IP per account | 18 | | Local price checks in London, Berlin and Paris | One IP per city | 3 | | Allowlisted access to the agency's own reporting server | One main IP + one backup | 2 | | Spares | About one per ten IPs in use | 2 | | Total | | 25 | ## Should I mix ISP and datacenter IPs? Yes, when tasks differ. Use ISP IPs where the ISP network name helps, such as consumer-facing local checks or account logins. Use dedicated datacenter IPs where only a fixed address matters, such as allowlists and internal tools. As of October 2026, one ISP IP costs $2.24 and one datacenter IP costs $1.34 for 30 days. Availability differs by country. Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online. ## What else do people ask about IP counts? ### Can several accounts share one static IP? Technically yes, but separate IPs are cleaner. Accounts of one owner and one team can share an IP if the platform allows it. Accounts of different clients should not: one problem would then affect several clients. When in doubt, one IP per account is easy to reason about and easy to audit. ### Is it cheaper to buy one large plan or several small ones? Compare totals. The per-IP price never rises with quantity: one ISP IP costs $2.24, ten cost $20.86 and one hundred cost $133.88 for 30 days, as of October 2026. For a count between two plan sizes, add the totals of the plans you would combine and compare them with the next larger plan before you pay. ### How many spare IPs should I keep? About one spare for every ten IPs in use is our planning advice, and at least one for any allowlist. A spare lets you move an account or a job at once when an IP has a fault, while support handles the repair. It is not a measured failure rate; adjust it to how costly a pause is for you. ### Do I need more IPs for more traffic? Not usually, because billing is per IP and not per GB. Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. Add IPs when a target site limits the requests one IP may send, or when you need more locations. For high-volume public-data collection without logins, rotating proxies may suit better; see [keep or rotate](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/keep-or-rotate/). ### Can I add IPs later without changing the existing ones? Yes. Each order adds new IPs with their own 30-day rental; existing IPs keep running until their own end dates. New IPs may come from other ranges. Several IPs in one order can share the same /24 subnet; subnet diversity is not guaranteed. Note which order each IP belongs to, so renewals do not surprise you. ### Do I need IPs from different subnets? Only if one range-wide block or outage would hurt you. IPs in the same /24 can be limited together by some sites. If that risk matters, spread IPs across countries or orders and count your subnets after delivery. Our [subnet diversity guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/subnet-diversity/) has a script that counts them. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # How to allowlist a static proxy IP, step by step > How to allowlist a static proxy IP in 5 steps: read the exit IP, add it to the firewall or SaaS allowlist, test, add a backup, renew on time.

Add a backup IP and renew before the 30-day end date. **SteadyProxy** also offers an allowlist in the other direction; its login options are: Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs).

The answer is the IP the destination will see. It can differ from the host name in your dashboard. 2. **Add the IP to the allowlist** — In the firewall, cloud network rules or SaaS admin panel, add that exact address. Use /32 where the tool asks for CIDR. Add a label with the order and end date. 3. **Add a backup IP** — Add a second static IP, ideally from another /24 or country, so a fault on one IP does not lock you out. 4. **Test both ways** — Through the proxy, the protected page should answer 200. Without the proxy, it should refuse access with 403 or time out. 5. **Plan the renewal** — Renew from your balance before the end date and re-check the exit IP after each renewal. *Read the exit IP, open a firewall port to it, test both ways* ```bash # Step 1 - read the exit IP the destination will see (write it down) curl -s -m 30 -x "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@gw.steadyproxy.com:7777" https://api.ipify.org # Step 3 - example: open HTTPS on your own Linux server to that one IP (ufw) sudo ufw allow from 203.0.113.10 to any port 443 proto tcp # Step 4 - test from outside: through the proxy (expect 200), then without it (expect 403 or a timeout) curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}\n" -x "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@gw.steadyproxy.com:7777" https://admin.example.com/ curl -s -o /dev/null -m 15 -w "%{http_code}\n" https://admin.example.com/ ``` *nginx: restrict an admin path to your static IPs* ```nginx # nginx: only the static proxy IP may open /admin/ (inside your server { } block) location /admin/ { allow 203.0.113.10; # static proxy exit IP allow 198.51.100.7; # optional second static IP, for redundancy deny all; } ``` ## Where do I add the IP in common tools? The field has different names, but the content is the same: one exact IP. - **Cloud firewalls** (network rules, inbound rules): add an inbound rule with the source 203.0.113.10/32 and the port you need, such as 443. - **Linux servers**: ufw allow from the IP to the port, as in the example above, or the matching iptables or nftables rule. - **Web servers**: nginx allow and deny lines, or the equivalent Require ip line in Apache. - **SaaS admin panels**: look for IP restrictions, trusted IPs or network access in the security settings. - **Databases**: PostgreSQL uses a host line with 203.0.113.10/32 in pg_hba.conf. Replace 203.0.113.10, a documentation address, with your real exit IP. ## How do I use the SteadyProxy IP allowlist instead of a password? SteadyProxy offers two login methods for each static IP: Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs). With the allowlist method, you register the public IPs of the machines that connect to the proxy, and those machines connect without a username or password. This is the simplest way to use tools that cannot send proxy credentials, such as Chrome driven by Selenium. Find the public IP of each machine with api.ipify.org without the proxy. Ask support if the option is not visible for your IPs: Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week. The [Selenium guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/selenium-static-proxy/) shows this method in code. ## What should I check at each renewal? Check that the exit IP did not change. Renew before the end date, then run the step 1 command again. Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. If the IP is different, update the allowlist before you remove the old entry. Keep a short inventory: IP, destination, allowlist entry, order and end date. Remove entries for IPs you no longer rent, so a later renter of that IP never gets your access. ## Which page explains the business case for a fixed source IP? This guide covers the steps. Why a business uses one fixed source IP for partner APIs, SaaS admin panels, firewalls and B2B portals is covered on [static IP for B2B allowlisted access](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/ip-allowlisting/). For allowlisting alone, a [dedicated datacenter IP](https://steadyproxy.com/datacenter-proxies/) works as well as an ISP IP, because the destination checks the exact address, not its network type. ## What else do people ask about allowlisting a static IP? ### Should I add the proxy host or the exit IP to the allowlist? The exit IP. The host in your dashboard is where your tool connects; the exit IP is what the destination sees. They can differ. Read the exit IP through the proxy with api.ipify.org and add that address. If you add the wrong one, the test through the proxy returns 403 instead of 200. ### Can I allowlist a whole /24 instead of one IP? Avoid it. A /24 holds 256 addresses, and you rent only some of them; the others belong to other customers or networks. Allowlisting the block would open your service to all of them. Add each exact IP as a /32. If you need several IPs, list them one by one. ### How many of my own IPs can I allowlist at SteadyProxy? Up to 10. Our login options are: Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs). Each entry is one of your public source IPs, such as an office line or a server. Machines with changing home IPs are a poor fit for this method; use the username and password for them instead. ### What happens to my allowlist if the proxy IP is replaced? The new IP is not on the destination's allowlist yet, so access through it fails until you add it. That is why a backup IP should already be listed. If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. Update the allowlist with the new exit IP, test it, then remove the old entry. ### Is the IP allowlist safer than a username and password? It removes one secret: no proxy password travels with each connection or sits in scripts. It ties access to your machines' public IPs, so anyone sharing such an IP, for example on the same office network, can also use the proxy. Choose per IP, and keep passwords out of code repositories in either case. ### Can I use one static IP for allowlists at several companies? Yes, if the IP is used only by you or your own team. Each destination lists the same exit IP. Our allocation rule: Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed. If one destination needs strict separation, give it its own IP. ### Which sites cannot be reached through the allowlisted IP? Some targets are blocked on every IP: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. Allowlisting a static IP on a bank or government portal will not help, because the traffic will not pass the proxy.

Static vs rotating, task by task > Keep or rotate your proxy IP? A table of 9 tasks: logins and allowlists keep a static IP, big crawls rotate. SteadyProxy static IPs: 30 days, no KYC, crypto. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/guides/keep-or-rotate/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) Decide per task, not per project. If the task depends on a stable identity, keep the IP; if it depends on volume without logins, rotate. **Quick answer — Should I keep or rotate my proxy IP?** Keep or rotate your proxy IP? Keep one static IP when the task depends on a stable identity: logins to your own business accounts, IP allowlists, long sessions and repeat local checks. Rotate when you collect many public pages and no login is involved. **SteadyProxy** sells static IPs only, fixed for 30 days, from $2.24 as of October 2026; for rotation, use a rotating residential provider. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Keep a static IP | Logins, allowlists, long sessions, checkout tests, rank tracking from one place | | Rotate | High-volume public-data collection with no login | | Static at SteadyProxy | One IP, fixed for 30 days, one customer per IP | | Rotation at SteadyProxy | Not offered: to get another IP, order a new one | | Faulty IP | If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows | | Product comparison | Static vs rotating residential proxies page | ## Which tasks need a static IP and which a rotating one? | Task | Keep or rotate | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | Managing your own or clients' business accounts | Keep | Login history shows one stable IP per account | | Own marketplace seller accounts | Keep | One fixed IP per seller account, week after week | | IP allowlisting (firewall, SaaS admin, API) | Keep | The allowlist accepts only known source IPs | | SEO rank tracking from one city | Keep | Same place and network for comparable results | | Local price and ad checks, a few pages per hour | Keep | Light traffic, stable location | | QA and geolocation testing of your own site | Keep | Reproducible tests from a known IP | | Checkout or multi-step form tests | Keep | A change of IP mid-flow can reset the session | | Light public-data collection with long sessions | Keep a small pool | Spread requests over a few static IPs | | Large crawl of public pages, no login | Rotate | Many IPs spread a high request volume | ## What is the rule of thumb? Ask one question: would a change of IP in the middle of the task break it or look wrong? If yes, keep a static IP. Logins, carts, allowlists and long sessions all break or raise checks when the IP jumps. If no, and the task sends a high volume of requests without any login, rotation spreads the load. Most business tasks fall in the first case, which is why SteadyProxy sells static IPs only. The product-level comparison is on [static vs rotating residential proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/static-vs-rotating-residential-proxies/). ## When should I replace a static IP instead of rotating? Replace an IP only when it has a fault, and diagnose before you ask. First test the IP alone: open api.ipify.org through it and check the status code and the exit IP. A 407 error means wrong credentials or a source IP missing from your allowlist, not a bad IP. A timeout on every request points to a fault. Then send the time and the error to support. Our replacement rule: If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. If one website blocks your IP, that is not a fault; review your request rate first. ## Can I combine static and rotating proxies? Yes, and many teams do. Logged-in work and allowlisted access run on static IPs, while a separate crawler uses a rotating service for public pages. Keep the two apart in your code: one proxy setting per job, never a fallback from static to rotating for a logged-in account. That keeps each account's IP history clean of sudden jumps. Count the static part with [how many static IPs do I need?](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/how-many-static-ips/). ## What if a task is in between? Use a small pool of static IPs and assign work round-robin. For light public-data collection with long sessions, five or ten static IPs can share the load, each keeping its own cookies. This gives stable sessions and spreads requests, without a rotating service. Keep the rate per IP modest and follow each site's terms and our [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/). Ten ISP IPs cost $20.86 for 30 days as of October 2026. ## What else do people ask about keeping or rotating IPs? ### Can I rotate a SteadyProxy static IP on demand? No. There is no rotation link or API: each IP stays fixed for its 30-day rental, which is the point of a static proxy. To work from another IP, order a new one from the [pricing page](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/). A faulty IP is a support case. Our replacement rule: If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. ### Is a static IP worse for privacy than a rotating one? It is different. A static IP links your sessions to one address over time, which is what logins and allowlists need. A rotating IP spreads requests across many addresses but changes your apparent identity often. Either way, the website sees the proxy's IP, not your own. Choose by task, using the table above. ### How often should I change a static IP? Only when there is a reason: a fault, the end of a rental you choose not to renew, or a new task. Changing a working IP every month resets the history of every account tied to it. Many users renew the same IPs for months; renew before the end date, because keeping the same IP afterwards is not guaranteed. ### Does a sticky session on a rotating proxy replace a static IP? Not for long tasks. A sticky session holds one IP for a limited time, often minutes, then changes. That suits a short checkout test, not an account you log in to every day or an allowlist. If the IP must be the same tomorrow and next week, rent a static IP. Our [static IP test](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/check-if-a-proxy-is-static/) shows the difference. ### What should I do if a website blocks my static IP? Slow down first. Check how many requests that IP sent and how fast. Pause the task, then resume at a lower rate. If the block stays and the task matters, move it to a spare IP and keep the old one for other work. A block by one site is not a replacement case, because the IP still works. ### Is rotation needed for SEO rank tracking? Usually not. Rank tracking compares results from one place over time, so one static IP per city gives consistent data. Keep the query rate low and spread checks across the day. Some tracking setups use one IP per city and per search engine; see our [SEO monitoring page](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/seo-monitoring/). --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # Playwright static proxy setup in Python and Node.js > Playwright static proxy setup in Python and Node.js: server, username and password, one browser context per IP, exit-IP check. 30-day IPs, no KYC, crypto. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/guides/playwright-static-proxy/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) Pass the static IP's server, username and password to the browser or to each context, then check the exit IP before real work. **Quick answer — How do I set up a static proxy in Playwright?** For a Playwright static proxy, pass a proxy with server, username and password to chromium.launch(), or give each browser context its own proxy to run several static IPs in one browser. Then open api.ipify.org to check the exit IP. **SteadyProxy** static IPs are rented for 30 days, from $2.24 per IP as of October 2026, with no KYC and crypto payment. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Launch option | proxy = server, username, password (HTTP proxy login) | | Per context | browser.newContext({ proxy }) gives each context its own static IP | | SOCKS5 | Supported by Playwright; the docs describe username and password for HTTP(S) proxies, so pair SOCKS5 with the IP allowlist | | SteadyProxy authentication | Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs) | | Check | api.ipify.org for the exit IP, ipinfo.io/json for the network | | Code checks | Python passed py_compile and Node.js passed node --check on 19 October 2026 (Playwright 1.60) | ## How do I set a static proxy in Playwright for Python? Give the proxy at launch when the whole browser should use one static IP. The server is the HTTP address of your IP, http://host:port; the username and password go in their own fields, not in the URL. Playwright answers the proxy's login request for you, so no sign-in box appears. The example opens api.ipify.org, then ipinfo.io/json, and prints both. *playwright_sync.py: one static IP for the whole browser* ```python """Playwright (Python) through one static proxy. Install: python -m pip install playwright && python -m playwright install chromium """ import os from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright PROXY = { "server": "http://" + os.environ.get("PROXY_HOST", "gw.steadyproxy.com") + ":" + os.environ.get("PROXY_PORT", "7777"), "username": os.environ.get("PROXY_USER", "USERNAME"), "password": os.environ.get("PROXY_PASS", "PASSWORD"), } with sync_playwright() as p: browser = p.chromium.launch(proxy=PROXY) context = browser.new_context() page = context.new_page() page.goto("https://api.ipify.org?format=json", timeout=30000) print("Exit IP:", page.inner_text("body")) page.goto("https://ipinfo.io/json", timeout=30000) print("Network:", page.inner_text("body")) browser.close() ``` ## How do I run several static IPs in one Playwright browser? Create one browser context per IP. The Playwright documentation states that a proxy can be set for the entire browser or for each browser context individually. Contexts do not share cookies or storage, so each one acts like a separate profile on its own IP. The Node.js example loops over two IPs, opens api.ipify.org in each context and closes the context after use. Fill the list with the host, port, username and password of each IP from your dashboard. *playwright_contexts.mjs: one context per static IP (Node.js)* ```javascript // Playwright (Node.js): one browser, one context per static IP. // Install: npm i playwright && npx playwright install chromium import { chromium } from 'playwright'; // Copy host, port, username and password of each IP from your dashboard. const staticIps = [ { name: 'client-a', host: 'gw.steadyproxy.com', port: '7777', username: 'USERNAME', password: 'PASSWORD' }, { name: 'client-b', host: 'gw.steadyproxy.com', port: '7777', username: 'USERNAME', password: 'PASSWORD' }, ]; const browser = await chromium.launch(); try { for (const ip of staticIps) { const context = await browser.newContext({ proxy: { server: `http://${ip.host}:${ip.port}`, username: ip.username, password: ip.password }, }); const page = await context.newPage(); await page.goto('https://api.ipify.org?format=json', { timeout: 30000 }); console.log(ip.name, await page.innerText('body')); await context.close(); } } finally { await browser.close(); } ``` ## Should I use HTTP or SOCKS5 in Playwright? Use the HTTP port with username and password in most cases. It is the combination the Playwright documentation describes for proxy login, and HTTPS pages travel through a CONNECT tunnel. Use SOCKS5 with a socks5:// server only when your machine is on the IP allowlist, so no login is needed. Both ports of one static IP give the same exit IP. SteadyProxy supports HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5. ## How do I keep logins between runs on the same static IP? Save the context's storage state after you log in, and load it next time with the same proxy. In Python, context.storage_state(path='client-a.json') writes cookies and local storage; browser.new_context(storage_state='client-a.json', proxy=...) restores them. Keep one state file per IP and per account, and never load one account's state on another account's IP. Treat these files as secrets. ## What goes wrong most often? Four errors cover most cases. ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED means the host or port is wrong or blocked on your side. A 407 response means a wrong login, or a source IP missing from your allowlist. ERR_TUNNEL_CONNECTION_FAILED means the proxy refused the target; check the blocked list: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. A timeout on every page points to a fault on the IP; test it with curl, then contact support. ## What else do people ask about Playwright and static proxies? ### Can I put the username and password in the server URL? Use the separate username and password fields instead. They are the documented way to log in to an HTTP proxy in Playwright, and they avoid URL-encoding problems with special characters. The server field then holds only the scheme, host and port of your static IP. ### Does each Playwright page get its own IP? No. Pages inherit the proxy of their context, and contexts inherit the browser's proxy unless they set their own. All pages in one context share one static IP. For several IPs, create several contexts, as in the Node.js example, or several browsers. ### Can I use Firefox or WebKit with a static proxy in Playwright? Yes. The proxy option has the same shape for chromium, firefox and webkit launches. Test each engine with api.ipify.org, because engines differ in how they handle some proxy errors. For QA across engines, keep the same static IP for every engine so results stay comparable. ### Should I set the locale and timezone to match the IP? For local QA and geolocation testing, yes: browser.new_context(locale='de-DE', timezone_id='Europe/Berlin') makes your site render as it would for a local visitor. It changes what your test browser asks for, not the IP, which still decides the country your site detects. See [geolocation QA](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/geolocation-qa/) for test plans. ### How do I check that every context uses the right IP? Open api.ipify.org first in each new context and compare the answer with the IP list in your dashboard. Fail the run if it does not match. The cost is one light request per context, and it prevents a whole run from going out on the wrong IP. ### How much does it cost to run 10 Playwright contexts on 10 static IPs? As of October 2026, 10 ISP IPs cost $20.86 and 10 dedicated datacenter IPs cost $12.69, each for 30 days. Billing is per IP, not per GB. Payment is in crypto, with no KYC.

Each static IP comes with its own host, port, username and password in your dashboard. Put them in environment variables, not in the code. The script below builds the proxy URL, sends one request to api.ipify.org, and stops if the exit IP is not the one you expect. It then reads the network name from ipinfo.io. With a wrong password, Requests raises a ProxyError that mentions 407 Proxy Authentication Required, as our test showed. *python_requests.py: one static proxy with an exit-IP check* ```python """Python Requests through one static proxy, with a check of the exit IP. Install: python -m pip install requests """ import os from urllib.parse import quote import requests HOST = os.environ.get("PROXY_HOST", "gw.steadyproxy.com") PORT = os.environ.get("PROXY_PORT", "7777") USER = quote(os.environ.get("PROXY_USER", "USERNAME"), safe="") PASSWORD = quote(os.environ.get("PROXY_PASS", "PASSWORD"), safe="") EXPECTED_IP = os.environ.get("EXPECTED_IP") # the static IP listed in your dashboard # The proxy URL starts with http:// even for https:// sites (Requests opens a CONNECT tunnel) PROXY = "http://" + USER + ":" + PASSWORD + "@" + HOST + ":" + PORT PROXIES = {"http": PROXY, "https": PROXY} with requests.Session() as session: session.trust_env = False # ignore HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY set elsewhere on the machine response = session.get("https://api.ipify.org?format=json", proxies=PROXIES, timeout=(10, 30)) response.raise_for_status() exit_ip = response.json()["ip"] print("Exit IP:", exit_ip) if EXPECTED_IP and exit_ip != EXPECTED_IP: raise SystemExit("Exit IP differs from the static IP you expected") page = session.get("https://ipinfo.io/json", proxies=PROXIES, timeout=(10, 30)) page.raise_for_status() print("Network:", page.json().get("org"), "-", page.json().get("country")) ``` ## Why is the proxy URL http:// for https:// sites? The key of the proxies dictionary is the scheme of the target site; the value is the address of the proxy. For an https:// site, Requests asks the HTTP proxy to open a CONNECT tunnel, then runs TLS through it to the site. The proxy never sees the decrypted page. So both keys point to the same http:// proxy URL. Keep certificate checks on: never set verify=False to make a proxy error go away. ## How do I give each account its own static IP? Map each account or job to one IP and build one Session per mapping. A Session keeps cookies and reuses connections, and with trust_env = False its proxies setting is not replaced by environment variables. The example below reads one line per IP, in the order host, port, username, password, which you can copy from the four values in your dashboard. *python_per_account.py: one Session per static IP* ```python """One static IP per account or per job with Python Requests. Each line holds the four values shown for one IP in your dashboard: host:port:username:password """ import os from urllib.parse import quote import requests STATIC_IPS = { "store-uk": os.environ.get("PROXY_STORE_UK", "gw.steadyproxy.com:7777:USERNAME:PASSWORD"), "store-de": os.environ.get("PROXY_STORE_DE", "gw.steadyproxy.com:7777:USERNAME:PASSWORD"), } def session_for(name): host, port, user, password = STATIC_IPS[name].split(":", 3) proxy = "http://" + quote(user, safe="") + ":" + quote(password, safe="") + "@" + host + ":" + port session = requests.Session() session.trust_env = False session.proxies = {"http": proxy, "https": proxy} return session for account in STATIC_IPS: with session_for(account) as s: ip = s.get("https://api.ipify.org", timeout=(10, 30)).text print(account, "->", ip) ``` ## How do I use SOCKS5 instead of HTTP? Install requests[socks] and replace http:// with socks5h:// and the HTTP port with the SOCKS5 port. The h makes the proxy resolve hostnames, so DNS answers match the IP's country. The rest of the code stays the same. A complete, tested example is in the [SOCKS5 static proxy guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/socks5-static-proxy/). Both ports of one static IP lead to the same exit IP. ## What do the common errors mean? Each error points to one layer. - **ProxyError with 407**: wrong username or password, or this machine is not on your allowlist. - **ConnectTimeout**: wrong host or port, or a firewall on your side blocks outgoing traffic to the proxy port. - **ReadTimeout**: the target or the path is slow; retry later and keep the read timeout. - **SSLError**: a certificate problem on the target or on your machine; do not disable verification. - **403 or 429 from the target**: the site refused or rate-limited the request; slow down. If one IP fails every request for an hour, contact support. Our replacement rule: If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. ## What else do people ask about Python and static proxies? ### Why do I set both the http and https keys? Requests picks the proxy by the scheme of the target URL. Without the https key, requests to https:// sites would go out directly, from your own IP. Setting both keys to the same proxy URL sends every request through the static IP. The api.ipify.org check in the script catches a missing key at once. ### Why URL-encode the username and password? Characters such as @, : and / have a meaning inside a URL. A password with an @ would otherwise be read as the end of the login part. urllib.parse.quote with safe='' encodes them, and Requests decodes them before it sends the login to the proxy. This works for both HTTP and socks5h:// URLs. ### Why set trust_env to False? Requests reads HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY and NO_PROXY from the environment by default, and the documentation warns that environment proxies can override a Session's proxies setting. A VPN or corporate setting could then route some requests elsewhere. trust_env = False makes the code use only the proxy you pass. ### Can I use the same code with httpx or aiohttp? Yes, the idea is the same: a proxy URL built from host, port, username and password, plus a timeout and an exit-IP check. The parameter names differ by library and version, so follow that library's proxy documentation. Keep one client per static IP, as with Sessions in Requests. ### How do I keep credentials out of my repository? Read them from environment variables or a secret manager, as the examples do, and never commit a .env file with real values. Do not print the proxy URL in logs, because it contains the password. With the IP allowlist method, scripts on allowlisted machines need no proxy password at all. ### How many requests can one static IP handle in Python? The proxy bills per IP and per 30 days, not per GB. Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. The real limit is the target site, which may rate-limit one IP. Keep concurrency modest per IP, add delays, and follow each site's terms.

No KYC, pay in crypto. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/guides/selenium-static-proxy/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) Chrome takes a proxy host and port, not a login. Authorise your machine by IP, or let a small local forwarder add the login. **Quick answer — How do I use a static proxy with Selenium and Chrome?** For a Selenium static proxy in Chrome, do not put the username and password in --proxy-server: Chrome takes only a scheme, a host and a port there. Use one of two working methods. Authorise your machine in the proxy's IP allowlist, or run a small local forwarder that adds the login for Chrome. **SteadyProxy** login options: Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs). Updated 19 October 2026. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Chrome switch | --proxy-server=http://host:port, with no field for a login | | Method 1 | IP allowlist: up to 10 of your own IPs connect without a password | | Method 2 | Local forwarder on 127.0.0.1:8899 adds the Proxy-Authorization header | | Avoid | user:password inside --proxy-server; browser plug-ins of unknown origin | | Check | Open api.ipify.org in the driven browser | | Tested | Forwarder passed HTTPS and HTTP requests through a password-protected test proxy, 19 October 2026 | ## Why does Chrome reject credentials in the proxy URL? Chrome's --proxy-server switch accepts a scheme, a host and a port. The Chromium network settings documentation shows no username or password in that format. When a proxy asks for a login, a person would see a sign-in box, but a script driven by Selenium cannot fill it reliably. So the login must happen outside Chrome: either the proxy trusts your machine's IP, or a helper on your machine sends the login for Chrome. ## How do I use the IP allowlist with Selenium? This is the simplest method. Find your machine's public IP by opening api.ipify.org without the proxy. Add that IP to the allowlist of your SteadyProxy account; you can register up to 10 source IPs. Then pass only the host and port to Chrome. The example uses the HTTP port; SOCKS5 works the same way with socks5:// and the SOCKS5 port. Our [allowlisting guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/ip-allowlisting/) explains both directions of allowlisting. *selenium_allowlist.py: Chrome with host and port only* ```python """Selenium + Chrome through a static proxy authorised by IP allowlist. Install: python -m pip install selenium Before running: add this machine's public IP to the allowlist of your account. """ import os from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By HOST = os.environ.get("PROXY_HOST", "gw.steadyproxy.com") PORT = os.environ.get("PROXY_PORT", "7777") options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() # Host and port only: Chrome's --proxy-server switch has no field for a username or password options.add_argument("--proxy-server=http://" + HOST + ":" + PORT) driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options) try: driver.get("https://api.ipify.org?format=json") print("Exit IP:", driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, "body").text) finally: driver.quit() ``` ## How does a local forwarder add the login? A local forwarder listens on 127.0.0.1, receives Chrome's proxy requests without a login, adds the Proxy-Authorization header and passes them to your static proxy. It uses the Python standard library only. It handles HTTPS through CONNECT tunnels, and plain http:// with one request per connection. Keep it bound to 127.0.0.1, so no other machine can use your proxy through it. We tested it on 19 October 2026 with curl over HTTPS and HTTP, through a test proxy that rejects requests without the right login. *local_forwarder.py: 127.0.0.1:8899 to your static proxy* ```python """Local forwarder: Chrome -> 127.0.0.1:8899 (no login) -> static proxy (with login).

Chrome never sees the password, and the login stays in environment variables on your machine. *selenium_forwarder.py: Chrome through the local forwarder* ```python """Selenium + Chrome through the local forwarder (username/password kept out of Chrome). Start local_forwarder.py first, then run this file. """ from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() options.add_argument("--proxy-server=http://127.0.0.1:8899") driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options) try: driver.get("https://api.ipify.org?format=json") print("Exit IP:", driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, "body").text) finally: driver.quit() ``` ## How do I run several static IPs with Selenium? Run one forwarder per IP on its own local port, such as 8899, 8900 and 8901, each with that IP's credentials. Start one Chrome driver per port. With the IP allowlist, you skip the forwarders and pass each IP's host and port to its own driver. Give each driver its own --user-data-dir if it must keep cookies between runs. Check every driver with api.ipify.org before real work. ## Does the same problem exist with Firefox and Selenium? Yes, in a similar form. Firefox reads proxy host and port from its preferences, and an HTTP proxy login appears as a dialog that automation cannot fill reliably. The same two methods work: the IP allowlist, or the local forwarder with Firefox's HTTP proxy set to 127.0.0.1 and port 8899. For a browser-automation tool with a built-in proxy login, see the [Playwright guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/playwright-static-proxy/). ## What else do people ask about Selenium and static proxies? ### Can I write http://user:password@host:port in --proxy-server? It does not work reliably. Chrome's documented format for --proxy-server has no place for a login, so the credentials are not used. Requests then fail with a proxy authentication error or show a sign-in box. Use the IP allowlist or the local forwarder described on this page. ### Is a Chrome extension a good way to send the proxy login? It can work, but it adds code with wide permissions to the browser you automate, and extension rules change between Chrome versions. The two methods here have no moving parts inside Chrome. If you use an extension, write it yourself or audit it, and keep it out of profiles used for other work. ### Is the local forwarder safe? It listens only on 127.0.0.1, so only programs on your machine can use it. Anyone with access to your machine could use it too, as they could read your environment variables. Stop it when the job ends. It logs nothing by default; add logging only without the Proxy-Authorization header. ### How do I find the public IP to allowlist? On the machine that runs Selenium, open https://api.ipify.org without the proxy. That is the address the proxy sees. If your office or server has a fixed IP, allowlist it once. A home connection whose IP changes is a poor fit; use the forwarder with a username and password instead. ### Does Selenium Wire or a similar library solve this? Some libraries add proxy login to Selenium by running their own intercepting proxy, much like the forwarder here. Check that a library is still maintained before you depend on it. The forwarder on this page is about 60 lines of standard-library Python that you can read in full. ### How many IPs can I allowlist for Selenium machines? Up to 10 source IPs on your SteadyProxy account, which covers most offices and server fleets. Our login options are: Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs). If you run Selenium on more machines, route them through one server with a fixed IP, or use the forwarder with a username and password on each machine. ## Which sources does this guide use? 1.

Tested 19 Oct 2026; no KYC, pay in crypto. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/guides/socks5-static-proxy/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) Point the tool at the SOCKS5 host and port of your static IP, log in or use the IP allowlist, and let the proxy resolve hostnames. **Quick answer — How do I set up a SOCKS5 static proxy?** For a SOCKS5 static proxy setup, point your tool at the SOCKS5 host and port of your static IP and let the proxy resolve hostnames. Use curl --socks5-hostname, socks5h:// URLs in Python Requests, or the 'Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5' box in Firefox. **SteadyProxy** static IPs support HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5; the default SOCKS5 port is 7778, and each IP shows its own host and port. Updated 19 October 2026. ## What are the key facts for SOCKS5? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Protocol | SOCKS version 5 (RFC 1928), TCP connections | | Login method | Username and password subnegotiation (RFC 1929), or the IP allowlist | | SteadyProxy authentication | Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs) | | Default ports | SOCKS5 7778, HTTP 7777; use the host and port listed for each IP | | DNS through the proxy | curl --socks5-hostname or socks5h://; Requests socks5h://; Firefox 'Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5' | | Python package | requests[socks], which installs PySocks | | Blocked targets | Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587 | ## When should I use SOCKS5 instead of the HTTP port? Use SOCKS5 when an app does not speak HTTP proxy, or when it only offers a SOCKS setting. For web traffic, both work: the HTTP port carries HTTPS through a CONNECT tunnel, and SOCKS5 carries any TCP connection. Both give the same exit IP for one static IP, which you can confirm with the test below. Plan for TCP only: this guide does not cover UDP. Email sending is not possible through either, because SMTP ports are closed. ## How do I use a SOCKS5 static proxy with curl? curl has two ways to send the hostname to the proxy: the --socks5-hostname option, or a proxy URL that starts with socks5h://. The plain socks5:// scheme makes curl resolve the hostname on your own machine first, then send only the IP. In our test on 19 October 2026, the test proxy received the hostnames api.ipify.org and ipinfo.io with socks5h://, and a raw IPv4 address with socks5://. *curl over SOCKS5, with and without remote DNS* ```bash # SOCKS5, hostname resolved by the proxy (recommended) curl -s --socks5-hostname gw.steadyproxy.com:7778 --proxy-user USERNAME:PASSWORD https://api.ipify.org # Same thing as a proxy URL: socks5h:// = the proxy resolves the hostname curl -s -x "socks5h://USERNAME:PASSWORD@gw.steadyproxy.com:7778" https://ipinfo.io/json # For comparison only: socks5:// resolves the hostname on your own machine first curl -s -x "socks5://USERNAME:PASSWORD@gw.steadyproxy.com:7778" https://api.ipify.org ``` ## How do I use SOCKS5 in Python Requests? Install the SOCKS extra with python -m pip install "requests[socks]", then use a socks5h:// URL for both the http and https keys. The Requests documentation states that socks5 resolves DNS on the client and socks5h resolves it on the proxy server. URL-encode the username and password if they contain characters such as @ or a colon. The script below ran on 19 October 2026 through a test SOCKS5 server with username and password login. *socks5_requests.py: Requests through SOCKS5 with remote DNS* ```python """Python Requests through a SOCKS5 static proxy. Install: python -m pip install "requests[socks]" """ import os from urllib.parse import quote import requests HOST = os.environ.get("PROXY_HOST", "gw.steadyproxy.com") PORT = os.environ.get("PROXY_SOCKS_PORT", "7778") USER = quote(os.environ.get("PROXY_USER", "USERNAME"), safe="") PASSWORD = quote(os.environ.get("PROXY_PASS", "PASSWORD"), safe="") # socks5h:// sends the hostname to the proxy: DNS is resolved on the exit side PROXY = "socks5h://" + USER + ":" + PASSWORD + "@" + HOST + ":" + PORT PROXIES = {"http": PROXY, "https": PROXY} with requests.Session() as session: session.trust_env = False response = session.get("https://ipinfo.io/json", proxies=PROXIES, timeout=(10, 30)) response.raise_for_status() data = response.json() print(data.get("ip"), data.get("org"), data.get("country"), data.get("city")) ``` ## How do I set SOCKS5 in Firefox or in system settings? In Firefox, open Settings, scroll to Network Settings and click Settings. Choose Manual proxy configuration, enter the host in SOCKS Host and the port next to it, and select SOCKS v5. Tick Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5, then click OK. Firefox's panel has no username or password field for SOCKS, so use the IP allowlist for that IP, or use the HTTP port, where Firefox asks for the login. On macOS, System Settings > Network > your connection > Details > Proxies has a SOCKS proxy entry. Windows proxy settings target HTTP proxies, so set SOCKS5 inside each app instead. Chrome also accepts a SOCKS5 server through its --proxy-server switch; see the [browser setup guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/browser-setup/). ## Why does DNS through the proxy matter? With local DNS, your own resolver sees every hostname you visit, and it may return servers chosen for your location rather than the proxy's. Content delivery networks answer DNS by region, so a local lookup in France can point a request through a UK IP at a French server. Remote DNS (socks5h) lets the proxy side resolve the name, so the target answers as it would for a visitor in the IP's country. That makes local price and search-result checks more accurate. ## How do I check that the SOCKS5 setup works? Open ipinfo.io/json through the SOCKS5 port and read the ip, org and country fields. Then run the same request through the HTTP port of the same static IP: the exit IP should match. To confirm that it stays the same over hours, follow [how to check if a proxy is static](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/check-if-a-proxy-is-static/). A 'general SOCKS server failure' or an authentication error usually means a wrong port, a wrong password, or a source IP that is not on your allowlist. ## What else do people ask about SOCKS5 static proxies? ### What is the difference between socks5:// and socks5h://? With socks5://, your machine resolves the hostname and sends only the IP address to the proxy. With socks5h://, the hostname goes to the proxy, which resolves it. curl and Python Requests both follow this rule. Use socks5h:// for static IPs, so DNS answers match the IP's country and your local resolver does not see the hostnames. ### Is SOCKS5 encrypted? No. SOCKS5 only relays the connection; it adds no encryption. RFC 1929 notes that its username and password login carries the password in cleartext. Your HTTPS traffic stays encrypted end to end through the tunnel, but the proxy login does not. On untrusted networks, prefer the IP allowlist, which sends no password at all. ### Does SOCKS5 give a different IP than the HTTP port? It should not for the same static IP: both ports lead to one exit address. Check it once by sending api.ipify.org through each port. If the two results differ, you may be using two different credential lines from your dashboard, or a system proxy on your machine may be taking over one of the requests. ### Can Chrome use a SOCKS5 proxy with a password? Chrome takes a SOCKS5 server through --proxy-server, and its documentation shows no field for a username or password there. Use the IP allowlist, so Chrome needs no login, or point Chrome at the HTTP port and a local forwarder. Our [Selenium guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/selenium-static-proxy/) includes a tested forwarder script for that case. ### Why does curl say it cannot resolve the proxy? That message is about the proxy's own host, not the target. Check the spelling of the host from your dashboard, your local DNS and any firewall that blocks outgoing traffic to the SOCKS5 port. Test the network path with curl -v, which prints each step of the SOCKS5 handshake, including authentication. ### Which apps work with a SOCKS5 static proxy? Most HTTP clients, browsers, scraping frameworks and command-line tools accept a SOCKS5 setting, either in a config file or through ALL_PROXY. Mail sending will not work, because ports 25, 465 and 587 are closed. Each use must follow our [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/). ### How much does a static IP with SOCKS5 cost at SteadyProxy? Every plan includes SOCKS5 at no extra cost. As of October 2026, one ISP IP costs $2.24 and one dedicated datacenter IP costs $1.34, both for 30 days. Larger plans go down to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 ISP IPs.

No KYC, paid in crypto. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/guides/static-ip-lifetime/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) Three different clocks: the rental, the session of your tool, and the life of the IP itself. Here is what each one means for planning. **Quick answer — How long does a static proxy last?** How long does a static proxy last? At **SteadyProxy**, each static IP is rented for 30 days and stays fixed for that whole period. Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time. No provider can promise that an IP lasts for ever: the network that holds the range decides in the end. Updated 19 October 2026. ## What are the key facts about static IP lifetime? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Rental period | 30 days per IP | | During the rental | The IP stays fixed; it does not rotate | | End date | Shown for each IP in your dashboard IP list | | Renewal | Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing | | If an IP stops working | If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows | | Price per 30 days | $2.24 for 1 ISP IP; $1.34 for 1 datacenter IP | ## What is the difference between rental length, session length and IP lifetime? They are three separate clocks. The rental is the paid period: 30 days per IP at SteadyProxy. The session is how long your own tool keeps a login, a cookie or a TCP connection; it can be minutes or weeks and has nothing to do with the proxy. The IP lifetime is how long that address stays with the network that holds it, which can be years. A static proxy guarantees the first clock only: the IP does not change during the paid rental. ## What happens at the end of the 30 days? If you renew before the end date, the rental continues for another 30 days. Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. If you do not renew, the rental ends and the IP is no longer reserved for you; it may be rented to another customer later. Renewal costs the current plan price from your balance; top-ups are in crypto, from $25, with no KYC. Set a reminder a few days before each end date, and keep enough balance for the renewal. ## Can a static IP change before the end date? It should not, and a change is treated as a fault. Three events can still affect an IP during a rental. The upstream network can withdraw or renumber a range. A technical fault can take the IP offline. Confirmed abuse leads to suspension: Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension. In the first two cases, contact support. If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. We publish no failure rate, because we have no audited figure to share. ## How do I plan for an IP change? Assume that any IP can change one day, and make the change cheap. Keep a list of which IP serves which account or allowlist. Add a backup IP to every allowlist that matters. Run the hourly [static IP test](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/check-if-a-proxy-is-static/) after each renewal to confirm the exit IP. Keep the logins of your accounts independent from one IP, so that a replacement does not lock you out. For counts and spares, see [how many static IPs do I need?](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/how-many-static-ips/). ## Does a static IP wear out after months of use? Not by age; by behaviour. Sites judge an IP by the traffic it sends and by the data of reputation vendors. An IP used gently for one account can stay in good standing for months. An IP that sends many fast requests can be rate-limited within hours, whatever its age. IPv4 addresses are also reused across customers over the years, so an IP may carry history from before your rental. Check your target sites in the first hours after delivery. ## What else do people ask about static IP lifetime? ### Can I rent a static IP for longer than 30 days? Yes, by renewing before each end date. Every renewal adds 30 days at the plan price. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. Every plan runs for 30 days; there is no longer prepaid term. ### Does my static IP change if I do not use it? No. The rental runs on calendar days, not on traffic. An IP you do not use for a week stays assigned to you until its end date. Billing is per IP and per 30 days, not per GB, so idle days cost nothing extra. Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. ### What happens to my IP if I forget to renew? At the end date the rental stops and the IP is no longer reserved for you. It may be rented to another customer later, and getting it back is not guaranteed. Your unused balance stays on your account and never expires, so you can order a new IP at any time from the [pricing page](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/). ### How long do sessions last on a static proxy? As long as your tool keeps them. The proxy does not end a login or a cookie; a static IP simply keeps the same address under it. Long-lived TCP connections can still drop for network reasons, so build reconnects into scripts. Sessions on target sites expire under their own rules. ### How do I know when my IP rental ends? Your dashboard lists each IP with its host, port, username, password, country and end date. Export or copy that list into your own inventory, with the account or allowlist each IP serves. Then set a reminder a few days before the earliest end date and renew from your balance. ### Is the IP replaced if it gets blocked by a website? A block by one website is not a fault of the IP, so it is not a replacement case. Replacement covers IPs that do not work. If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. If a target blocks your IP, slow down and review your traffic, or order an extra IP for that task. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # /24 subnet diversity for static proxies: what it is and how to check it > /24 subnet diversity for static proxies: why IPs in one /24 share risk, how to count them with a tested script, and what SteadyProxy promises. No KYC, crypto. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/guides/subnet-diversity/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) A /24 holds 256 addresses. IPs from the same block often share a network, a reputation and an outage. Here is how to measure your spread. **Quick answer — What is /24 subnet diversity for static proxies?** /24 subnet diversity for static proxies means how many different /24 blocks your IPs come from. A /24 holds 256 IPv4 addresses. IPs in the same /24 usually share one network and one reputation, so a site that limits the range limits them together. **SteadyProxy** does not guarantee diversity: several IPs in one order can share the same /24. Count yours with the script below. Updated 19 October 2026. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Size of a /24 | 256 IPv4 addresses, for example 203.0.113.0 to 203.0.113.255 | | Why it matters | Some sites rate-limit or block a whole range, not one IP | | SteadyProxy policy | Several IPs in one order can share the same /24 subnet; subnet diversity is not guaranteed | | Availability | Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online | | How to measure | Count distinct /24 blocks among your exit IPs | | Also check | The ASN: two /24 blocks can belong to the same network | ## What is a /24 subnet? A /24 is a block of IPv4 addresses whose first 24 bits are the same. In everyday terms, the first three numbers match: 203.0.113.10 and 203.0.113.77 are in the same /24, written 203.0.113.0/24. The notation is CIDR, defined in RFC 4632. A /24 is the smallest IPv4 block that networks usually announce on the internet, so a /24 often maps to one network, one router path and one reputation record. ## When does subnet diversity matter? It matters when one range-wide event would hurt you. Three cases are common. A site may rate-limit or block a whole /24 after heavy traffic from it. A network fault or a withdrawn range can take a whole block offline at once. Separate clients may want IPs that do not sit next to each other. It matters little for allowlisting, because the destination lists exact IPs, and little for a single account on a single IP. ## How do I count the /24 subnets of my static IPs? Collect the exit IPs first: run api.ipify.org through each proxy, because the host you connect to can differ from the exit IP. Save one IP per line in ips.txt, then run the script. It prints the number of distinct /24 and /16 blocks and the share of IPs in each /24. We ran it on 19 October 2026 with Python 3.14 on four documentation addresses: it reported 3 distinct /24 blocks, one of them holding 50% of the IPs. *count_subnets.py: distinct /24 and /16 blocks* ```python """Count how many /24 subnets (and networks) your static exit IPs are spread over. ips.txt: one exit IP per line (what api.ipify.org returns through each proxy). Usage: python count_subnets.py ips.txt """ import ipaddress import sys from collections import Counter path = sys.argv[1] if len(sys.argv) > 1 else "ips.txt" with open(path, encoding="utf-8") as fh: ips = [ipaddress.IPv4Address(line.strip()) for line in fh if line.strip()] per_24 = Counter(ipaddress.IPv4Network(str(ip) + "/24", strict=False) for ip in ips) per_16 = Counter(ipaddress.IPv4Network(str(ip) + "/16", strict=False) for ip in ips) print(len(ips), "IPs,", len(per_24), "distinct /24,", len(per_16), "distinct /16") for net, count in per_24.most_common(): share = 100 * count / len(ips) print(" %-18s %3d IPs %5.1f%%" % (net, count, share)) ``` ## Is diversity by ASN more useful than by /24? For outages, often yes. Two /24 blocks of the same ASN can share an upstream path and a reputation at the network level. Read the org field of ipinfo.io/json for each IP and count distinct ASNs too. For ISP proxies, the ASN is the registered ISP network. A specific ISP or ASN can be ordered only when the checkout lists it; check the registered network of each IP after delivery. Our guide [are static residential proxies really residential?](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/are-static-residential-proxies-really-residential/) explains how to read ASN and registry records. ## How can I get more spread across subnets from SteadyProxy? Spread your needs across countries or cities when your task allows it. IPs in different countries come from different blocks. Within one country, several small orders over time may land in different ranges, but this is not guaranteed. Several IPs in one order can share the same /24 subnet; subnet diversity is not guaranteed. Before a large order, write to support with the spread you need: Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week. After delivery, run the script and keep the result with your IP inventory. ## What else do people ask about subnet diversity? ### How many IPs can share a /24 in one order? We do not set a fixed number, because ranges come from our upstream networks and stock varies. Several IPs in one order can share the same /24 subnet; subnet diversity is not guaranteed. If you need a spread, say so to support before ordering, and count the blocks after delivery with the script on this page. Then decide whether to add IPs elsewhere. ### Is a /24 the same as a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0? Yes. /24 is the CIDR prefix length and 255.255.255.0 is the same mask in dotted form. Both mean the first three octets identify the block and the last octet the host. A /16 has the mask 255.255.0.0 and holds 65,536 addresses; the script reports /16 blocks too. ### Do IPs in the same /24 get blocked together? Sometimes. Some websites and security tools apply limits to whole ranges after abusive traffic from that range. Many apply them per IP. No public rule says which sites do which, so treat a shared /24 as a shared risk. Gentle, rule-abiding traffic from each IP is the best protection. ### Does subnet diversity matter for IP allowlisting? Hardly. An allowlist lists exact addresses, so the destination does not care whether your two IPs share a /24. It matters only for outages: if both your main and backup IP sit in the same block, one network problem can take both down. Choose a backup from another block or country when you can. ### Can I see the /24 of an IP before buying? No. The checkout shows countries and, when listed, cities or ISPs, but not specific IP ranges. IPs are allocated at delivery. Your dashboard then lists each IP; collect the exit IPs and count the blocks. Under our [refund policy](https://steadyproxy.com/refunds/), only IPs that do not work are credited back, not IPs that share a block. ### Are documentation IPs like 203.0.113.10 real proxies? No. 192.0.2.0/24, 198.51.100.0/24 and 203.0.113.0/24 are reserved for documentation by RFC 5737, so they never route on the internet. We use them in examples so that no real network is named by mistake. Replace them with your own exit IPs when you run the script. ## Which sources does this guide use? 1.

What that means, what a website sees, and when it is the right tool. **Quick answer — What is an ISP proxy?** An ISP proxy is a static IPv4 address registered to a consumer internet service provider but hosted on servers in a datacenter. Websites see the ISP's network (ASN), while the traffic runs on datacenter hardware. **SteadyProxy** rents ISP proxies, also sold as static residential proxies, per IP for 30 days. One IP costs $2.24 as of October 2026, with no KYC and crypto payment. ## What are the key facts about ISP proxies? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Registered to | A consumer internet service provider: the ASN and WHOIS record name an ISP | | Runs on | ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices | | Address | One IPv4 address, fixed for the whole 30-day rental | | Other name | Static residential proxy (same product) | | Allocation at SteadyProxy | Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed | | Protocols | HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5 | | Authentication | Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs) | | Price at SteadyProxy | $2.24 for 1 IP; down to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs | ## How is an ISP proxy different from residential and datacenter proxies? An ISP proxy mixes the two: the registration of a residential IP and the hosting of a datacenter IP. A rotating residential proxy sends traffic through connections on consumer networks and usually changes IP per request or per session. A datacenter proxy uses an address of a hosting network, such as a cloud or server company. The ISP proxy keeps one address for weeks, like a datacenter IP, but its registry record points to a consumer ISP. The full comparison is on [ISP vs residential vs datacenter proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/isp-vs-residential-vs-datacenter-proxies/). ## Which proxy type is registered where, and runs where? *Generic definitions. SteadyProxy sells the first and the third type, not rotating residential proxies.* | Type | IP registered to | Traffic runs on | IP changes? | Usual billing | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ISP proxy (static residential) | Consumer ISP | Servers in a datacenter | No, fixed for the rental | Per IP | | Rotating residential proxy | Consumer ISP | Connections on consumer networks | Yes, per request or session | Per GB | | Dedicated datacenter proxy | Hosting network | Servers in a datacenter | No, fixed for the rental | Per IP | ## Why is an ISP proxy called static residential if it runs in a datacenter? The word residential describes the registration, not the hardware. The IP block belongs to a broadband or consumer ISP, so IP databases may label it as an ISP network. The server that answers on that IP sits in a datacenter. Large vendors say this openly: Oxylabs and Decodo both describe their ISP proxies as hosted in datacenters (pages checked on 19 October 2026). We explain the full picture, with WHOIS and ASN checks, in [are static residential proxies really residential?](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/are-static-residential-proxies-really-residential/). ## What does a website see when you use an ISP proxy? A website sees the proxy's IP address, never yours. From that IP it can look up three things. First, the ASN and organisation name, which for an ISP proxy is the ISP. Second, a location from an IP database, usually the country and often a city. Third, any reverse DNS name. You can see the same data with one command: *Check the network and place behind your ISP proxy* ```bash # What network and place does a website see behind your ISP proxy? curl -s -x "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@gw.steadyproxy.com:7777" https://ipinfo.io/json # Look at "org": the ASN and the name of the network the IP is registered to ``` ## When is an ISP proxy the right choice? Choose an ISP proxy when a task needs the same IP for weeks and an ISP network name helps. Typical legitimate uses: - managing your own or your clients' business accounts, one stable IP per account; - your own marketplace seller accounts; - local price, ad and search-result checks from one country or city; - SEO rank tracking from a fixed place; - B2B IP allowlisting for firewalls, admin panels and APIs; - QA and geolocation testing of your own site. For allowlisting only, a cheaper [dedicated datacenter proxy](https://steadyproxy.com/datacenter-proxies/) is often enough: the destination checks the IP, not its network type. ## What are the limits of an ISP proxy? An ISP proxy is not a home connection, and some IP databases may still flag its range as hosting. It does not rotate, so it is the wrong tool for large crawls that need many IPs. Choice is limited by stock. Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online. A specific ISP or ASN can be ordered only when the checkout lists it; check the registered network of each IP after delivery. All use falls under our [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/). Some targets are blocked: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. ## What else do people ask about ISP proxies? ### Is an ISP proxy the same as a static residential proxy? Yes, in almost every offer on the market. Static residential proxy is the marketing name, ISP proxy is the technical one. Both mean an IPv4 address registered to a consumer ISP, kept fixed for the rental, and hosted on servers. SteadyProxy uses both names for the same product on its [static residential proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/) page. ### Is an ISP proxy a real home internet connection? No. The IP is registered to an ISP, but the machine behind it is a server in a datacenter. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. That is why the IP stays online and fixed for 30 days. If a provider claims real home connections for a static IP, ask how the IP stays fixed when a home router restarts. ### Does an ISP proxy change its IP address? Not during the rental. At SteadyProxy each IP stays fixed for its 30-day period. After the end date, things change: Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. You can verify stability yourself with the hourly test in [how to check if a proxy is static](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/check-if-a-proxy-is-static/). ### Can I choose the ISP or the ASN of my proxy? Only when the checkout offers it. A specific ISP or ASN can be ordered only when the checkout lists it; check the registered network of each IP after delivery. The country is always your choice. A city can be chosen only when the checkout lists it; otherwise the IP is allocated in the country you pick. After delivery, open ipinfo.io/json through each IP and read the org field to see the registered network. ### Which protocols do SteadyProxy ISP proxies support? HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5. Each static IP comes with its own host, port, username and password in your dashboard. Most tools use the HTTP port; SOCKS5 suits apps that do not speak HTTP. Setup steps are in our [SOCKS5 static proxy guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/socks5-static-proxy/) and the [Python guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/python-static-proxy/). ### Is my ISP proxy shared with other customers? No. Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed. Dedicated means one customer per IP during the rental. It does not mean the IP has no history: IPv4 addresses are reused over the years, so check how a target treats your IP in the first hours. ### How much does an ISP proxy cost at SteadyProxy? As of October 2026, one ISP IP costs $2.24 for 30 days, 10 IPs cost $20.86 and 100 IPs cost $133.88. For comparison, MarsProxies charged $27.81 for 10 ISP IPs per 30 days on 19 October 2026, per its pricing page.

ISP means the IP block is registered to a consumer internet service provider. Its WHOIS record and its ASN name a broadband provider, not a hosting company. The server that uses the IP, however, sits in a datacenter. That is the honest definition, and it applies to most products sold as "static residential" on the market. Our own: ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. You can check any IP after delivery: an ASN lookup shows the registered network. The [ISP proxy guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/what-is-an-isp-proxy/) explains the details. ## How do IP databases label each type? IP databases give each IP a "usage type" built from its registration and other signals. Three widely used examples: - **IP2Location** usage type: ISP (fixed-line ISP), MOB (mobile ISP), DCH (data center, web hosting or transit), COM (commercial) and others. - **MaxMind** user type: residential, cellular, hosting, business and others. - **IPinfo** ASN type: isp, hosting, business, education or government. An ISP-registered IP usually inherits the ISP label. Some databases also test for hosting signals and may label it hosting. We do not promise any label. Check each IP in two or three databases after delivery. ## How much does each type cost per IP or per GB? Dedicated IPs, public prices read on 19 October 2026. "—" means the vendor does not publish that quantity. | Provider and product | 1 IP | 100 IPs | Term | Crypto | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | SteadyProxy ISP | $2.24 | $133.88 | 30 days | Yes | | MarsProxies ISP | $2.99 | $260.13 | 30 days | Yes | | Webshare dedicated ISP | — | $178.50 | Month | No | | FloppyData ISP | — | $179 | Month | Yes | | Decodo ISP | — | $260 + VAT | Month | Bitcoin | | ProxyEmpire ISP | $3.50 | $260 | Month | Yes | | Bright Data dedicated ISP | — | $275 | Calendar month | Not listed | | SteadyProxy datacenter | $1.34 | $59.25 | 30 days | Yes | | MarsProxies datacenter | $1.99 | $145.27 | 30 days | Yes | | Webshare dedicated datacenter | — | $119 | Month | No | | FloppyData datacenter | — | $79 | Month | Yes | | Bright Data dedicated datacenter | — | $170 | Calendar month | Not listed | | GhostConnect datacenter | $1.79 | — | 31 days | Yes | *Prices checked on October 19, 2026.* Rotating residential proxies are sold per GB. Per-GB prices were not part of our 19 October 2026 check, so we do not quote one here. ## How do SteadyProxy's prices compare with named vendors? Compare at the same quantity and date. On 19 October 2026, MarsProxies listed one ISP IP at $2.99 for 30 days; our 1-IP ISP plan is $2.24. Webshare listed 100 dedicated ISP IPs at $178.50 a month; our 100-IP plan is $133.88, down to $1.34/IP · 30 days. The price per IP of our plans never rises with quantity. We make no claim about our price rank at other quantities or dates. Every dated price is in the [static proxy price index 2026](https://steadyproxy.com/data/static-proxy-price-index-2026/). ## Which type should you choose for your job? Choose by what the target checks: - **The exact address** (a firewall, a partner API, a SaaS allowlist): a dedicated datacenter IP at $1.34 is enough. - **The network type and a stable login history** (logins to your own or clients' business accounts on consumer platforms, local ad checks): an ISP IP at $2.24. - **Many different IPs for a short time** (broad public-data collection): rotating residential, sold per GB by other vendors. SteadyProxy does not sell it. The [static vs rotating comparison](https://steadyproxy.com/static-vs-rotating-residential-proxies/) covers the last choice in detail. All our plans are on the [pricing page](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/). ## What is the difference between dedicated, private and shared IPs? Dedicated means one customer uses the IP during the rental. Ours: Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed. Many vendors use "private" for the same idea, but neither word says anything about who used the IP before. Shared means several customers use the same IP at once. On 19 October 2026, Oxylabs listed shared ISP IPs at $1.5 per IP for up to 3 users, and Bright Data listed 10 shared ISP IPs at $18 against $35 for 10 dedicated ones. ## Why do sellers call datacenter-hosted IPs residential? Because the IP is registered to a consumer ISP, many sellers call it "static residential". The term describes the registration, not the location of the server. Real residential traffic exits through a consumer's own connection and device, which is what rotating residential pools use. A fixed IP for 30 days on a consumer-ISP block is, in practice, an IP hosted on a server. We think buyers should know that before they pay. ## What else do buyers ask? ### Is an ISP proxy the same as a static residential proxy? In most of the market, yes. Both names describe an IP registered to a consumer ISP and kept fixed for the rental. At SteadyProxy the two names mean the same product: ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. One ISP IP costs $2.24 for 30 days. ### Can a website tell that an ISP proxy runs in a datacenter? Sometimes. Registration data says ISP, but a website can also look at other signals, such as hosting labels in some IP databases or how the connection behaves. We do not promise that any target treats an ISP IP as a home connection. Test your own workflow with one IP before you order many. ### Are ISP proxies faster than rotating residential proxies? We publish no speed figures. In general, an ISP proxy runs on a datacenter server with a stable route, while a rotating residential connection depends on the end user's own line, which varies. Test speed with your own target and tools before you decide. ### Which type is best for IP allowlisting? A dedicated datacenter IP. The allowlist compares the exact address, so the network type does not matter, and a datacenter IP costs $1.34 for 30 days. Read the [B2B allowlisting use case](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/ip-allowlisting/) for the set-up with a backup IP. The how-to steps are in the [IP allowlisting guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/ip-allowlisting/). ### Does SteadyProxy sell rotating residential proxies? No. SteadyProxy rents ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs only, per IP for 30 days. Rotating residential proxies are billed per GB by other vendors. If your job needs thousands of short-lived IPs, a rotating product fits it better. ### How do I check the ASN of my proxy IP after delivery? Request `https://ipinfo.io/json` through the proxy. The "org" field shows the ASN number and the network name. An ISP IP shows a consumer internet provider; a datacenter IP shows a hosting company. A specific ISP or ASN can be ordered only when the checkout lists it; check the registered network of each IP after delivery. ### Why is a dedicated datacenter IP cheaper than an ISP IP? Vendors price ISP-registered IPs higher than hosting IPs across the market. The 19 October 2026 prices show it: MarsProxies listed $2.99 for one ISP IP and $1.99 for one datacenter IP. Our 1-IP plans are $2.24 and $1.34. Choose by what the target checks, not by price alone: an allowlist needs only the address. ## Which sources did we use? 1.

One ISP IP costs $2.24 for 30 days, paid in crypto, as of October 2026. On 19 October 2026, IPRoyal required KYC for static residential users, while ProxyEmpire and GhostConnect sold ISP IPs without it. ## What does no KYC mean here? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Identity documents | None, at sign-up, top-up or purchase | | Login | Account-number login; email is optional | | Email | Optional, only for recovery | | Payment | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC; no card, no bank | | Records kept | Connection metadata for up to 30 days (time, account, exit IP, target hostname, bytes) | | Rules | Acceptable use policy; blocked targets; sanctions | ## Why do some ISP proxy sellers ask for ID? Sellers add KYC to limit abuse and to meet the conditions of their own networks. On 19 October 2026, IPRoyal wrote that static residential proxy users "will have to go through our KYC process", Decodo mentioned "a KYC system in place", and Bright Data's KYC page covered its residential and mobile networks. SteadyProxy does not ask for documents and relies on its [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/), blocked targets and abuse handling instead. [See the full matrix](https://steadyproxy.com/data/isp-proxy-no-kyc-crypto-matrix/). ## Who chooses a no-KYC static proxy? Buyers who prefer not to upload identity documents to one more company: freelancers and small agencies, developers testing from another country, and businesses that keep supplier data to a minimum. No KYC is about privacy and speed. It does not change what you may do with the IP: banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing targets stay blocked, and abuse leads to suspension. ## What if I lose my account number? Your account number is your login: save it somewhere safe. Add an email (optional) if you want a way to recover it. Without an email, a lost account number cannot be recovered. Write the number in a password manager the day you create the account. Never send it to anyone: We never ask for your account number by email or chat. ## Which records are kept without KYC? We do not log the content of your requests, full URLs or page data. To handle abuse reports and billing disputes, we keep connection metadata (time, account, exit IP, target hostname, bytes) for up to 30 days, then delete it. We keep your account number, orders and top-up records while your account is open, and afterwards only as long as accounting rules require. We disclose records to authorities only when the law requires it. Our upstream network provider may keep its own logs under its own policy. No name, address or document is stored, because none is asked. Crypto payments are public on their blockchain by design. [Privacy policy](https://steadyproxy.com/privacy/). ## Can a business pay without company documents? Yes. A company can top up the same way as a person, in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC, and keep the on-chain transaction as its payment record. No company registration number or director ID is asked. ## No-KYC questions ### Is no KYC legal? SteadyProxy is operated by ProxyGoat LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (USA) and does not give legal advice. Selling proxy access without identity checks is a business choice; using it must follow the law where you are and our acceptable use policy. Some countries are not available, for legal or sourcing reasons, including countries and regions under comprehensive sanctions. ### Will you ever ask for ID later? Not to sign up, top up or buy. We may refuse or suspend service in case of abuse, fraud or a legal obligation, and the service is not available in countries and regions under comprehensive sanctions. ### Do Bright Data or Webshare require KYC for ISP proxies? On 19 October 2026, Bright Data's KYC page covered its residential and mobile networks, and Webshare's static residential pages did not mention KYC but accepted only cards, Google Pay and Apple Pay. Both differ from SteadyProxy mainly on payment: neither listed crypto. ### Is an email address required? No. Account-number login; email is optional. An email only helps you recover a lost account number; without one, a lost number cannot be recovered. ### Which ISP proxy sellers accept crypto without KYC? On 19 October 2026, ProxyEmpire wrote "You don't need KYC to buy a plan" and accepted crypto; GhostConnect advertised "No KYC" and accepted XMR, BTC, LTC, ETH and USDT. SteadyProxy accepts BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. [Matrix of 15 sellers](https://steadyproxy.com/data/isp-proxy-no-kyc-crypto-matrix/). ### Does no KYC mean no logs? No. Connection metadata (time, account, exit IP, target hostname, bytes) is kept for up to 30 days to handle abuse reports and billing disputes, then deleted. Request content and full URLs are not logged. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # Static proxy pricing: per IP, for 30 days > Static proxy pricing per IP: 1 ISP IP for $2.24, 100 for $133.88; datacenter IPs from $1.34. 30-day rentals, paid in crypto, no KYC. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) **Quick answer — How much do static proxies cost per IP?** At **SteadyProxy**, a static ISP proxy costs $2.24 for one IP for 30 days and falls to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs ($133.88).

Starting from a plan, the checkout asks for its exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan; anything left stays on your balance. How payment works ## How do dedicated ISP proxy prices compare (19 October 2026)? Public prices for the same number of dedicated ISP IPs, as each seller published them on 19 October 2026. MarsProxies and SteadyProxy bill 30 days; Webshare, FloppyData and Bright Data bill a month. | Quantity | SteadyProxy (30 days) | MarsProxies (30 days) | Webshare (month) | FloppyData (month) | Bright Data (month) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 IP | $2.24 | $2.99 | — | — | — | | 5 IPs | $10.88 | $14.50 | — | — | — | | 10 IPs | $20.86 | $27.81 | — | — | $35 | | 25 IPs | $50.46 | $67.28 | — | — | — | | 50 IPs | $70.88 | $133.06 | $94.50 | $99 | — | | 100 IPs | $133.88 | $260.13 | $178.50 | $179 | $275 | *Prices checked on October 19, 2026.* — = no public price for that quantity. Proxy-Cheap could not be re-checked on 19 October 2026 (HTTP 403); on 14 October it listed one static residential IP at $2.71 per month. We do not claim to be the cheapest at any volume. Full data: [static proxy price index 2026](https://steadyproxy.com/data/static-proxy-price-index-2026/). ## How do dedicated datacenter proxy prices compare (19 October 2026)? | Quantity | SteadyProxy (30 days) | MarsProxies (30 days) | Webshare (month) | FloppyData (month) | Bright Data (month) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 IP | $1.34 | $1.99 | — | — | — | | 10 IPs | $12.69 | $16.92 | — | — | $22 | | 25 IPs | $29.85 | $39.80 | — | — | — | | 50 IPs | $33.75 | $74.63 | $63 | $45 | — | | 100 IPs | $59.25 | $145.27 | $119 | $79 | $170 | *Prices checked on October 19, 2026.* GhostConnect listed one dedicated datacenter IP at $1.79 per 31 days on 19 October 2026. Shared datacenter offers are not included. ## Why does the price per IP fall with quantity? A larger bundle never costs more per IP than a smaller one. One ISP IP costs $2.24; ten cost $20.86, which is $2.09/IP · 30 days; 100 cost $133.88, which is $1.34/IP · 30 days. In datacenter, the step from 25 to 50 IPs is the largest: $1.19/IP · 30 days becomes $0.68/IP · 30 days. ## Is a static IP billed by traffic? No. Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. You pay a fixed price per IP for 30 days, whatever the number of requests, so a monitoring job that sends a few requests per hour costs the same as a busier workflow. Heavy, continuous use that harms the network can be limited under fair use. Rotating residential proxies, by contrast, are usually sold per GB: [static vs rotating](https://steadyproxy.com/static-vs-rotating-residential-proxies/). ## What happens at the end of the 30 days? Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. Nothing renews or charges your balance on its own. Before the end date, open the IP list in your dashboard and renew the IPs you still need. If a service has your IP on an allowlist, keep a second route to update that list in case an IP changes. ## How payment works 1. **Top up the price of your plan** — Pick a plan: the checkout proposes its exact price as the top-up, or {min} for a smaller plan. Choose the coin (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC); the crypto amount and its rate are locked for 30 minutes. 2. **Send it to the address shown, on the exact network** — The payment page shows our deposit address for the coin and network you picked: BTC on Bitcoin, USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), USDC on Ethereum (ERC-20), ETH on Ethereum, SOL on Solana, LTC on Litecoin. Send only that coin on that network: funds sent on another network or in another coin can’t be recovered. The network fee comes on top of the amount. 3. **Send the exact amount shown, then click “I’ve sent the payment”** — Each top-up has its own exact amount (down to the last decimals): that is how we find your payment and link it to your account. 4. **Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain** — Your balance is credited once we have checked the transaction on the blockchain, after the network has confirmed it. Typical network confirmation times: 5. **One balance for every product** — If you started from a plan, the top-up is its exact price (or the minimum, for a smaller plan): the plan is bought as soon as the top-up is credited, and your static IPs appear in your dashboard once they are allocated. What is left stays on your balance: use it for any of our plans. Unused balance stays on your account and never expires. When a purchase costs less than the minimum top-up, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days of the payment, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. The rest of the balance is not paid back, except where the law requires it. | Crypto | Network | Confirmations | Usual time | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Bitcoin (BTC) | Bitcoin | 2 | ≈ 20 min | | Tether (USDT) | Tron (TRC-20) | 20 | ≈ 1 min | | Tether (USDT) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | USD Coin (USDC) | Ethereum (ERC-20) | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Ethereum (ETH) | Ethereum | 12 | ≈ 5 min | | Solana (SOL) | Solana | 1 | ≈ 1 min | | Litecoin (LTC) | Litecoin | 6 | ≈ 15 min | Closed the tab? The pending top-up stays under Billing in your account: open it to see the address and the exact amount again. ## Pricing questions ### Can I buy a single static IP? Yes. One ISP IP costs $2.24 and one datacenter IP costs $1.34, each for 30 days. Because the minimum top-up is $25, a single IP leaves the rest on your balance; the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if unspent. ### Is there a free trial? No. The smallest plan is one IP for 30 days, at $1.34 in datacenter or $2.24 as an ISP IP. If an IP does not work in its first 24 hours and support cannot fix or replace it, its price goes back to your balance in full. ### Do prices change by country? No. A plan has the same USD price in every country on the site, from the United Kingdom to Saudi Arabia. Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online, so a country can be temporarily missing from the checkout. ### Are taxes or fees added? The plan price is the price you pay to SteadyProxy. The blockchain network fee is paid by you on top, to the network, and depends on the coin: Tron (TRC-20) USDT, Solana and Litecoin usually cost cents, Ethereum more. ### How do your prices compare with Webshare, MarsProxies or Bright Data? As of 19 October 2026: MarsProxies sells 10 ISP IPs for $27.81 per 30 days, Webshare 100 dedicated ISP IPs for $178.50 per month and Bright Data 100 dedicated ISP IPs for $275 per month. SteadyProxy charges $20.86 and $133.88. [Price index](https://steadyproxy.com/data/static-proxy-price-index-2026/). ### Can I mix ISP and datacenter IPs? Yes. Each plan is bought separately from the same balance, so you can rent ten ISP IPs for accounts and 50 datacenter IPs for allowlisted API calls. Each IP keeps its own end date in the dashboard. ## Sources 1. [ISP proxy pricing](https://marsproxies.com/pricing/isp-proxies/) — MarsProxies (2026-10-19) 2.

There is no KYC, we do not log the content of your requests, and we do not sell personal data. The controller is ProxyGoat LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (USA). Last updated 19 October 2026. ## What logs do we keep? We do not log the content of your requests, full URLs or page data. To handle abuse reports and billing disputes, we keep connection metadata (time, account, exit IP, target hostname, bytes) for up to 30 days, then delete it. We keep your account number, orders and top-up records while your account is open, and afterwards only as long as accounting rules require. We disclose records to authorities only when the law requires it. Our upstream network provider may keep its own logs under its own policy. ## Which records do we keep, and for how long? | Record | Why | How long | | --- | --- | --- | | Account number | Your login | While the account is open | | Email address (optional) | Account recovery and notices, only if you add one | While the account is open, or until you remove it | | Orders and IP rentals (IP, country, start and end dates) | Delivery, renewal, billing | While the account is open, then as long as accounting rules require | | Top-up records (coin, network, amount, transaction ID, date) | Crediting payments, accounting, disputes | While the account is open, then as long as accounting rules require | | Connection metadata (time, account, exit IP, target hostname, bytes) | Abuse reports and billing disputes | Up to 30 days, then deleted | | Support emails | Answering you | As long as needed to answer, then deleted unless a dispute requires them | ## What do we not collect? No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. We do not ask for your name, phone number, postal address or date of birth. We do not log the content of your requests, full URLs or page data. Email is optional: Account-number login; email is optional. If you include personal details in a support email, we keep them only as long as needed to answer. ## What about payment data? You pay in crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC), so we never receive card or bank details. A blockchain is public: anyone can see a transaction, its amount and the addresses involved. We record which transaction credited which account, and we do not publish that link. If you pay from an exchange account, the exchange holds its own records about you under its own policy. ## Who else can see data? - **Our upstream network provider** carries your traffic and may keep its own logs under its own policy. - **Hosting and email providers** that run our infrastructure process data for us under contract. - **Public blockchains** show your payment transactions to anyone, by design. - **Authorities:** we disclose records only when the law requires it, and only the records we hold. We do not sell personal data and do not share it for advertising. ## Which cookies do we use? Only the cookies the service needs. One session cookie keeps you signed in to the client area and ends when you sign out or the session expires. The public website sets no advertising or tracking cookies. ## What are your rights? You can ask for a copy of the personal data linked to your account, its correction or its deletion, and you can object to its use. Write to support@steadyproxy.com from the email on the account, or from the client area. Never send your account number or the password of an IP by email. We answer within the time limit set by the law that applies to you. Records we must keep for accounting or a pending dispute are kept until that duty ends.

So is an order we cannot deliver within 24 hours. Top-ups are not paid back, except where the law requires it; the part added only to reach the $25 minimum is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if unspent. Updated 19 October 2026. ## What is the exact rule? Static IPs: within 24 hours of delivery, an IP that does not work and that we cannot fix or replace is credited back to your balance in full. An order we cannot deliver within 24 hours is credited back in full. Top-ups are not paid back, except where the law requires it; the part added only to reach the minimum top-up is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if unspent. Credits go to your balance and pay for any of our plans. The rest of this page gives examples, the cases that are not covered and how to ask. ## Which cases are covered? | Case | Condition | What you get | | --- | --- | --- | | An IP does not work | Reported within 24 hours of delivery, and we cannot fix or replace it | The full price of that IP back to your balance | | An order is not delivered | Your IPs do not appear in your dashboard within 24 hours of the order | The full price of the order back to your balance | | Part of a top-up added only to reach the $25 minimum | Asked within 30 days of the payment, and not spent | That part paid back in USDT or USDC | | An IP stops working later in the rental | Reported to support | If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows | ## What do these rules look like in practice? - **An IP fails on day one.** You rent 10 ISP IPs for $20.86. Two hours after delivery, one IP refuses every connection. You write to support. If we cannot fix it or swap it for another IP in the same country, the price of that one IP goes back to your balance. - **An order is not delivered.** You order 5 IPs in a country, and they are still not in your dashboard 24 hours later. The full price of the order goes back to your balance. - **A small plan and the minimum top-up.** You rent one ISP IP at $2.24, so the top-up is $25. The difference between the two is the part added only to reach the minimum. If you have not spent it, you can ask for it within 30 days of the payment, and we pay it back in USDT or USDC. - **A plan at or above the minimum.** You rent 25 ISP IPs at $50.46: the top-up is that exact price, so nothing was added to reach the minimum. ## How do I ask for a credit or a refund? 1. **Write to support** — Email support@steadyproxy.com from the email on your account, or use the client area. Never send your account number or the password of an IP. 2. **Describe the case** — Give the IP address or the order, what fails, the time with its time zone, and the error you see. For a top-up refund, give the transaction ID and the USDT or USDC address and network where you want the payment. 3. **Let us check** — Support tests the IP or the order and then repairs it, replaces it or credits it under the rules above. Email replies within 12 hours, 7 days a week. ## What is not refunded? - **The rest of the balance.** Unused balance stays on your account and never expires. When a purchase costs less than the minimum top-up, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days of the payment, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. The rest of the balance is not paid back, except where the law requires it. - **A website that refuses the IP.** An IP that connects and works, but that one target blocks or asks to verify, is working as a network address. - **Location differences.** A geolocation database that places the IP in another city, or a country, city or ISP that was not in stock at checkout. - **A lost IP after the end date.** Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. - **Blocked targets.** Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587 are blocked on purpose. - **Abuse.** Rentals used in breach of the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/). When an account is terminated for abuse, its balance is not refunded. - **Network fees** of your crypto transaction. ## Can a crypto payment be reversed? No. Crypto transactions cannot be reversed by the sender or by us. That is why credits go to your balance, where they pay for any of our plans. If you sent a payment on the wrong network or for the wrong amount, contact support with the transaction ID: we will check what can be done, without promising a result.

SteadyProxy rents ISP-registered IPs hosted in datacenters, 30 days per IP, with no KYC and crypto payment. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/sourcing/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) Who registers our IPs, where they are hosted, what we can and cannot promise, and how to check an IP yourself. **Quick answer — Where do SteadyProxy's static IPs come from?** We resell static ISP and datacenter IPs from established upstream partner networks that lease IPv4 ranges registered to internet service providers or hosting networks. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. **SteadyProxy** rents each IP to one customer for 30 days, from $2.24 as of October 2026, with no KYC and crypto payment. Suppliers are not named; stock varies by country. ## What are the sourcing facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Source | We resell static ISP and datacenter IPs from established upstream partner networks that lease IPv4 ranges registered to internet service providers or hosting networks | | Hosting | ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices | | Allocation | Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed | | Stock | Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online | | ISP or ASN choice | A specific ISP or ASN can be ordered only when the checkout lists it; check the registered network of each IP after delivery | | Subnets | Several IPs in one order can share the same /24 subnet; subnet diversity is not guaranteed | | Replacement | If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows | | Supplier names | Not published | ## What does "registered to an ISP" mean? It means the IP belongs to an address block that the registry lists under a consumer internet service provider. Every IPv4 block is recorded by a regional internet registry (RIR), such as RIPE NCC, ARIN or APNIC. The record names the organisation that holds the block and the autonomous system number (ASN) that announces it. A WHOIS or ASN lookup on one of our ISP IPs shows a broadband or telecom network. That registration is the reason websites class the IP as "ISP" or "residential". It says nothing about the physical machine behind the IP. A dedicated datacenter IP, by contrast, is registered to a hosting network, and lookups show it as such. ## Where are ISP proxies physically hosted? ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. The ISP leases or announces the address range, and the proxy software runs on server hardware with stable power and network links. This is why the IP can stay fixed for 30 days. Most "static residential" products on the market work the same way. We say it openly because it is what you buy: an IP that looks like an ISP connection in registry data, hosted like a server. Our guide [What is an ISP proxy?](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/what-is-an-isp-proxy/) covers the details. ## Do device owners need to consent? No consent question arises, because no consumer device is involved. A static ISP or datacenter IP runs on a server, not on a phone, a laptop or a home router. There is no app, no SDK and no consumer bandwidth in our supply. Consent rules for device-based networks therefore do not apply to these products. If we ever sold IPs that run on consumer devices, this page would state who confirms the device owners' consent. ## Why do we not name our suppliers? Supplier contracts are commercial and confidential, so we do not publish them. Instead, you can verify each IP after delivery. Run a WHOIS or ASN lookup, or open `https://ipinfo.io/json` through the proxy. Check the registered organisation, the ASN and the country. A specific ISP or ASN can be ordered only when the checkout lists it; check the registered network of each IP after delivery. If an ISP IP is not registered to an internet service provider, send the lookup result to support and we will review the IP. ## Why does stock vary by country? Stock varies because the number of free IPs in each country changes as other rentals start and end. Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online. A city can be chosen only when the checkout lists it; otherwise the IP is allocated in the country you pick. We have country pages for the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, plus 18 city pages. Several IPs in one order can share the same /24 subnet; subnet diversity is not guaranteed; our [subnet diversity guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/subnet-diversity/) explains when that matters. Some countries are not available, for legal or sourcing reasons, including countries and regions under comprehensive sanctions. ## What should you ask any static proxy seller? | Question | Our answer | | --- | --- | | Where are the ISP IPs hosted? | On servers in datacenters, not on home devices | | Who else uses the same IP? | No one during your 30-day rental | | Can I pick a city, ISP or ASN? | Only when the checkout lists it | | Are IPs in one order from different /24 subnets? | Not guaranteed | | Do I keep the same IP after renewal? | Not guaranteed after the end date; renew on time | | What happens to the IP after my rental? | It returns to stock and can be rented to another customer | ## What else do people ask about sourcing? ### Does "static residential" mean a real home connection? Not at SteadyProxy, and usually not elsewhere either. A static residential (ISP) proxy is an IP registered to a consumer ISP and hosted on a server in a datacenter. Websites and geolocation databases read the registration, so they see an ISP network. The traffic does not pass through a consumer connection. This setup is what keeps the IP fixed for the full 30-day rental. ### Was the IP used by someone else before me? Possibly. Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed, but IPs return to stock after a rental ends and can be rented again. A dedicated IP is yours alone during the rental; it may have had earlier renters. If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. ### Can I order a specific ISP, ASN or city? A specific ISP or ASN can be ordered only when the checkout lists it; check the registered network of each IP after delivery. A city can be chosen only when the checkout lists it; otherwise the IP is allocated in the country you pick. We do not promise a named ISP or ASN in any country, because supply changes from week to week. If a precise network matters to you, check the checkout options before paying, then check the registered network of each IP right after delivery. ### How can I check the registered network of my IP? Run a WHOIS lookup on the IP, or request `https://ipinfo.io/json` through the proxy. The answer shows the ASN, the organisation that holds the block and a country. Geolocation databases can disagree on the city, and they update on their own schedule. Keep a dated copy of the result if your work depends on it. ### Do you check what customers do with the IPs? We do not read the content of your traffic. Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587 are blocked. Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension. Connection metadata kept for up to 30 days lets us match a report to an account. The [privacy policy](https://steadyproxy.com/privacy/) lists exactly what is kept and for how long. ### Why are datacenter IPs cheaper than ISP IPs? Datacenter IPs are priced lower across the market: on 19 October 2026, MarsProxies listed one datacenter IP at $1.99 and one ISP IP at $2.99 for 30 days. At SteadyProxy, as of October 2026, one datacenter IP costs $1.34 and one ISP IP $2.24. Many websites treat hosting networks with more suspicion, so pick ISP IPs when the registration type matters.

They are residential by registration, not by location. The IP block belongs to a consumer internet provider, so WHOIS and most IP databases show that provider's name and ASN. The server that answers on the IP sits in a datacenter, with datacenter power and bandwidth. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. Most sellers of "static residential proxies" sell the same thing; [this guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/are-static-residential-proxies-really-residential/) shows how to read the registration yourself. ## Why rent an ISP proxy instead of a datacenter IP? Some websites and services treat hosting-network addresses with more suspicion than consumer-ISP addresses. An ISP proxy keeps the stability of a datacenter server with the registration of a broadband network. It costs more: $20.86 for 10 ISP IPs against $12.69 for 10 [datacenter IPs](https://steadyproxy.com/datacenter-proxies/). For an API or a firewall that only checks that your IP is on its allowlist, a datacenter IP is usually enough. ## Is a dedicated proxy the same as a private proxy? Sellers use both words for an IP that only one customer uses during the rental. Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed. A shared ISP proxy, sold by some providers at a lower price, is used by several customers at once (up to 3 at Oxylabs on 19 October 2026), so its history is not only yours. Compare shared offers only with shared ones: the [price index](https://steadyproxy.com/data/static-proxy-price-index-2026/) keeps them apart. ## How do I check an ISP proxy after delivery? Send a request through the proxy to an IP-lookup service such as `https://ipinfo.io/json`, then note the IP, the organisation, the ASN and the city. Repeat a few hours later: a static proxy returns the same IP. Compare the city with a second database, because geolocation databases can disagree. [Step-by-step test](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/check-if-a-proxy-is-static/). ## What about /24 subnets and renewals? Several IPs in one order can share the same /24 subnet; subnet diversity is not guaranteed. If you need IPs from different networks, order them in more than one country or ask support what is online before buying. Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. [Subnet diversity explained](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/subnet-diversity/). ## How much do ISP proxies cost? | Plan | Quantity | Price | Price per unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 ISP IP | 1 IP · 30 days | $2.24 | $2.24/IP · 30 days | | 5 ISP IPs | 5 IPs · 30 days | $10.88 | $2.18/IP · 30 days | | 10 ISP IPs | 10 IPs · 30 days | $20.86 | $2.09/IP · 30 days | | 25 ISP IPs | 25 IPs · 30 days | $50.46 | $2.02/IP · 30 days | | 50 ISP IPs | 50 IPs · 30 days | $70.88 | $1.42/IP · 30 days | | 100 ISP IPs | 100 IPs · 30 days | $133.88 | $1.34/IP · 30 days | In every plan: One customer per IP for 30 days · HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 · Username/password or IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs) · Billed per IP, not per GB **Before you pay** - Your top-up is the plan price. Starting from a plan, the checkout asks for its exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan; anything left stays on your balance. - Unused balance stays on your account and never expires. When a purchase costs less than the minimum top-up, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days of the payment, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. The rest of the balance is not paid back, except where the law requires it. - Credited once your payment is checked on the blockchain. Typical network confirmation time: BTC ≈ 20 min · USDT TRC-20 ≈ 1 min · USDT ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · USDC ERC-20 ≈ 5 min · ETH ≈ 5 min · SOL ≈ 1 min · LTC ≈ 15 min ## ISP proxy questions ### Which ISP will my IP belong to? A specific ISP or ASN can be ordered only when the checkout lists it; check the registered network of each IP after delivery. Each country page names the largest fixed broadband providers from official regulator data so you know the market, but that list is not our stock. After delivery, look up the ASN of your IP to see the registered network. ### Will websites see my IP as residential? Most IP databases classify an address from its registration, so an ISP-registered IP is usually labelled as an ISP or broadband address. Some databases also look at hosting signals and may label it differently. No seller can guarantee how a given website scores an IP, and SteadyProxy does not. ### Can I use one ISP proxy for one account for a month? Yes, that is the main use: one stable IP per business account you own or manage for a client, for 30 days, renewed before the end date. Do not use proxies to create or run accounts against a platform's rules; the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/) applies. ### Do ISP proxies support SOCKS5? Yes. HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5. Each IP comes with its own host, port, username and password; you can also allowlist up to 10 of your own IPs instead of using a password. [SOCKS5 setup guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/socks5-static-proxy/). ### Is there a bandwidth limit? Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. You do not buy gigabytes: the price covers one IP for 30 days. Continuous, very heavy transfers that degrade the network can be limited under fair use. ### What if an ISP proxy is blocked by a website? A block by a specific website is not a fault of the IP, and no provider can promise access to a given site. If the IP itself does not work, If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. Within 24 hours of delivery, an IP we cannot fix or replace is credited back in full. ### Can I rent ISP proxies in the United States? Yes, the United States is one of the 10 countries in the checkout, at the same prices. Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online. The [United States page](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/united-states/) gives the basics. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # Static vs rotating residential proxies: which one? > Static vs rotating residential proxies: a fixed ISP IP for 30 days from $2.24, or a new IP per connection billed per GB. When each wins. Crypto, no KYC. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/static-vs-rotating-residential-proxies/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) **Quick answer — Should I use static or rotating residential proxies?** In **static vs rotating residential proxies**, choose static when an account, an allowlist or a daily local check needs the same IP for weeks; choose rotating when a job needs many different IPs for a short time. **SteadyProxy** sells static only: ISP IPs from $2.24 per IP for 30 days as of October 2026, billed per IP and paid in crypto with no KYC. Rotating residential is usually billed per GB elsewhere. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Static (ISP) proxy | One IP kept for the whole 30-day rental; billed per IP | | Rotating residential proxy | New IP per connection or per sticky session; usually billed per GB | | Static price | $2.24 for 1 IP / 30 days; down to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs | | Static hosting | ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices | | Allocation | Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed | | Static billing | Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies | | SteadyProxy sells | Static ISP and dedicated datacenter IPs only | ## How do static and rotating residential proxies differ? | Question | Static ISP proxy | Rotating residential proxy | | --- | --- | --- | | How long the IP lasts | The whole rental (30 days at SteadyProxy) | One request, or a sticky session set by the vendor | | Where the IP comes from | ISP-registered IPv4 hosted on a datacenter server | Consumer connections in a vendor's peer network | | How it is billed | Per IP | Per GB of traffic, usually | | Daily login to the same account | Good fit: same IP every day | Poor fit: the IP changes | | IP allowlisting | Works: one known address | Does not work: the address is unknown in advance | | Broad public-data jobs | Limited by the number of IPs you rent | Good fit: load spread over many IPs | | What drives the cost | Number of IPs | Traffic volume | | Example cost | 10 IPs: $20.86 for 30 days | GB used x the vendor's price per GB | ## When does a fixed IP for 30 days beat a new IP per connection? A fixed IP wins whenever the target remembers who you are. Five cases: 1. **Business account logins.** Your own or a client's account sees one IP every day, not dozens. 2. **IP allowlisting.** A partner firewall or SaaS panel can list one address; it cannot list a pool. 3. **Daily local checks.** SEO and ad checks from the same IP are comparable from one day to the next. 4. **Long sessions.** A 20-minute checkout test or an admin session does not break when the IP changes. 5. **Heavy traffic through few IPs.** Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies, so one IP at $2.24 costs the same whatever the traffic, within fair use. Our [use cases](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/) describe each job with plans and prices. ## When does rotating residential beat static? Rotating residential wins when a job needs many different IPs and little traffic per IP. Examples: reading thousands of public pages once each, sampling results from 50 cities on the same day, or spreading light public-data collection over a large pool. Renting hundreds of static IPs for 30 days to use each one for a few minutes costs far more than the traffic itself. SteadyProxy does not sell rotating proxies. If you buy them elsewhere, ask the vendor how its peers consent to share their connection. ## How do the costs compare? Static cost is the number of IPs times the price per IP; rotating cost is the GB used times the price per GB. For static, 25 ISP IPs cost $50.46 for 30 days, down to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs. Rotating per-GB prices vary by vendor and volume, and they were not part of our 19 October 2026 check, so we quote none. The rule: a static IP is the better deal as soon as it would carry more traffic in 30 days than $2.24 buys at your rotating vendor's per-GB rate. ## Is a static residential proxy really residential? Not in the sense of a home connection. A static residential proxy, also called an ISP proxy, uses an IP registered to a consumer ISP but hosted on a datacenter server. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. A rotating residential proxy does exit through consumer connections, which is exactly why its IP changes. The [ISP vs residential vs datacenter comparison](https://steadyproxy.com/isp-vs-residential-vs-datacenter-proxies/) shows how IP databases label each type. ## Can you use static and rotating proxies together? Yes, on separate jobs. Use static IPs for logins, allowlists and daily checks, and a rotating pool for broad public-data work. Never log in to the same account from both: the account would see one fixed IP and then many changing ones, which defeats the purpose of the static IP. The [keep or rotate guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/keep-or-rotate/) gives a decision checklist. ## What should you not use either type for? Neither type may be used to break a target's rules or the law. At SteadyProxy, blocked targets are: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. We also refuse creating or running extra accounts, fake engagement, credential attacks and ticket purchases. Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension. See the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/). ## What else do buyers ask? ### Does SteadyProxy sell rotating residential proxies? No. SteadyProxy rents static ISP (static residential) IPs from $2.24 and dedicated datacenter IPs from $1.34, per IP for 30 days. If your job needs a new IP for each request, buy a rotating residential product from a vendor that sells it per GB. ### Can I make a static IP rotate on demand? No. A static IP stays the same for the rental; that is the product. If an IP does not work, If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. To work with more addresses, rent more IPs: 10 ISP IPs cost $20.86 for 30 days. ### How long does a sticky session last on a rotating proxy? It depends on the vendor and the plan, and it is usually counted in minutes or hours, not weeks. Read the vendor's documentation before you build a login workflow on it. When a workflow needs the same IP for days, a static IP is the safer choice. ### Can I keep a static IP longer than 30 days? You renew it from your balance before the end date. Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. Plan each renewal a few days ahead if a partner allowlist or a client account depends on the address. ### Is a static IP less likely to trigger security checks on logins? A login that always comes from the same IP is more consistent than one from a changing pool, so many platforms ask for verification less often. We do not promise how any platform behaves. The first login from a new IP may still ask for a code. ### Is there a traffic limit on static IPs? Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. You pay per IP, so you do not count GB. Fair use means normal business traffic, not load tests or bulk downloads at full speed for the whole month. ### Are static datacenter IPs an option too? Yes. A dedicated datacenter IP is also static and costs $1.34 for 30 days. It fits allowlists, APIs and QA, where the network type does not matter. Choose ISP for consumer-platform logins and local ad or SEO checks. Compare both types in [ISP vs residential vs datacenter proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/isp-vs-residential-vs-datacenter-proxies/). --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # Terms of service > SteadyProxy terms of service: static IP rentals of 30 days, crypto balance with a $25 minimum top-up, no KYC, renewal, refunds, fair use and Delaware law. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/terms/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) **Quick answer — What terms apply to a SteadyProxy rental?** These terms govern your use of **SteadyProxy**, a service of ProxyGoat LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (USA). You rent static IPs per IP for 30 days, paid from a crypto balance, with no KYC. By opening an account or renting an IP you accept these terms, the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/), the [privacy policy](https://steadyproxy.com/privacy/) and the [refund policy](https://steadyproxy.com/refunds/). Last updated 19 October 2026. ## 1. Who provides the service? SteadyProxy is operated by ProxyGoat LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (USA) ("we", "us"). The team has been in the proxy business since 2019. Support: support@steadyproxy.com. Abuse reports: abuse@steadyproxy.com. ## 2. Who may use the service? You must be an adult able to enter a contract, and you use the service for lawful business or personal purposes. We may refuse or suspend service in case of abuse, fraud or a legal obligation. The service is not available in countries and regions under comprehensive sanctions, and you may not use it from those places or on behalf of people located there. ## 3. What do you rent? You rent static IPv4 addresses, per IP, for 30 days from delivery: ISP (static residential) IPs or dedicated datacenter IPs, as described on the [pricing page](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/) at the time of the order. - Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed. - ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. - Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5. Authentication: Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs). - Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online. A city can be chosen only when the checkout lists it; otherwise the IP is allocated in the country you pick. A specific ISP or ASN can be ordered only when the checkout lists it; check the registered network of each IP after delivery. - Several IPs in one order can share the same /24 subnet; subnet diversity is not guaranteed. An IP gives you a network address, not a right to use any website. We do not promise that a given website accepts the IP, that every geolocation database places it in the same city, or any speed or success rate. ## 4. Account, balance and payment - Account-number login; email is optional. Your account number is your login: save it somewhere safe. Add an email (optional) if you want a way to recover it. Without an email, a lost account number cannot be recovered. - No KYC: no ID, no selfie, no documents to sign up, top up or buy. - You pay by topping up a balance in crypto (BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC). Starting from a plan, the top-up is its exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan. Send the exact amount shown, on the network shown, then click I've sent the payment. The payment is matched by its exact amount and credited once confirmed. A payment sent on the wrong network or for a different amount may not be recoverable. - Unused balance stays on your account and never expires. When a purchase costs less than the minimum top-up, the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request to support within 30 days of the payment, in USDT or USDC, as long as it has not been spent. The rest of the balance is not paid back, except where the law requires it. - Prices are in US dollars. We may change prices for future orders and renewals; a rental already paid keeps its price until its end date. ## 5. Delivery, renewal and replacement - **Delivery.** Your IP list (host, port, username, password, country, end date) appears in your dashboard once the IPs are allocated. The 30-day period starts at delivery and ends on the end date shown in your IP list. - **Renewal.** Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. A rental that is not renewed ends on its end date, and the IP returns to stock. - **Replacement.** If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. A replacement IP keeps the end date of the IP it replaces. ## 6. Refunds Static IPs: within 24 hours of delivery, an IP that does not work and that we cannot fix or replace is credited back to your balance in full. An order we cannot deliver within 24 hours is credited back in full. Top-ups are not paid back, except where the law requires it; the part added only to reach the minimum top-up is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if unspent. Credits go to your balance. The [refund policy](https://steadyproxy.com/refunds/) gives examples and explains how to ask. ## 7. Fair use and rules of use Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies: use that harms the network or other customers may be slowed or paused. You follow the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/), the law that applies to you and to the sites you reach, and those sites' terms. Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587 are blocked. You keep your account number and IP credentials private and are responsible for all traffic sent through your IPs. You may not resell access to the service or share your IPs with third parties. ## 8. Suspension and termination We may suspend an IP or close an account when we have reasonable grounds to believe it breaks these terms or the acceptable use policy, when a legal obligation requires it, or when it puts the network or other customers at risk. Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension. When an account is terminated for abuse, its balance is not refunded and its rentals end without credit. Where possible we tell you why, by email if you gave one. You may stop using the service at any time; an unused balance then follows the balance rule in section 4. ## 9. What we do not promise The service is provided as it is and as available. IPs belong to upstream networks we do not control, and they can slow down, be refused by a target or go offline. We do not promise uninterrupted service, a given country, city, ISP or ASN in stock, or that the service suits a particular purpose. Nothing on this site is legal advice: you decide whether your use is lawful where you are. ## 10. Liability To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the three months before the event that caused it. We are not liable for indirect losses such as lost profits, lost data or lost accounts. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law. ## 11. Law, disputes and changes These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and by any consumer protection law that applies to you and cannot be set aside. We may update these terms. The date at the top then changes, the change is listed in the [changelog](https://steadyproxy.com/changelog/), and material changes apply to orders made after the update.

From $2.24 per IP, crypto, no KYC. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) **Quick answer — What are static proxies used for?** **Static proxy use cases** at **SteadyProxy** are business jobs that need the same IP for weeks: B2B allowlisted access, agency client accounts, your own e-commerce seller accounts, ad verification, SEO rank tracking and geolocation QA. As of October 2026, one ISP IP costs $2.24 and one datacenter IP $1.34 for 30 days, paid in crypto with no KYC. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Use cases on this page | 6 business workflows, each with its own guide below | | What they share | One fixed IP per account, client, market or allowlist entry, kept for 30 days | | ISP price | $2.24 for 1 IP / 30 days; down to $1.34/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs | | Datacenter price | $1.34 for 1 IP / 30 days; down to $0.59/IP · 30 days at 100 IPs | | Allocation | Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed | | Blocked targets | Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587 | | Payment | BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC; no KYC | ## Which use case matches your job? - **[Static IP for B2B allowlisted access](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/ip-allowlisting/)** — One fixed source IP that a partner firewall, SaaS admin panel or API can allowlist. Datacenter IPs from $1.34. - **[Static proxies for social media agencies](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/social-media-agencies/)** — One stable ISP IP per client account the agency manages for that client. 10 IPs for $20.86. - **[Static ISP proxies for e-commerce seller accounts](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/e-commerce/)** — A fixed IP per seller account your business owns, plus local price checks. 5 IPs for $10.88. - **[ISP proxies for ad verification](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/ad-verification/)** — See your campaigns as local users see them, one IP per market, without clicking ads. - **[Static proxies for SEO rank tracking](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/seo-monitoring/)** — Same IP, same country, every day: rank changes come from the search engine, not your connection. - **[Static proxies for geolocation QA](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/geolocation-qa/)** — Test redirects, currency, language and consent banners of your own site from each country. ## Which proxy type does each use case need? The table gives our usual starting point. Prices are for 30 days, as of October 2026. | Use case | Usual type | Why | Smallest order | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | B2B allowlisted access | Datacenter | The partner checks the exact address, not its network type | $1.34 (1 IP) | | Social media agency clients | ISP | Consumer platforms may add login checks for hosting-network IPs | $2.24 (1 IP) | | Own e-commerce seller accounts | ISP | Same reason as above, for marketplace logins | $2.24 (1 IP) | | Ad verification | ISP | Ad systems often filter known datacenter traffic | $2.24 (1 IP) | | SEO rank tracking | ISP first | Search engines show more checks to hosting networks | $2.24 (1 IP) | | Geolocation QA | Both | Test what each class of visitor sees | $1.34 + $2.24 | ## How many IPs does each use case need? Count one IP per account, client, market or allowlist entry. Three examples: - An agency that manages 8 client accounts needs 8 ISP IPs. The 10-IP plan ($20.86) leaves 2 IPs for clients signed during the month. - A QA team testing 9 countries needs 9 IPs, one per country, or 18 if it tests ISP and datacenter IPs side by side. - A team that reaches 3 partner APIs needs 2 datacenter IPs: one primary and one backup on each allowlist. The [how many static IPs guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/how-many-static-ips/) gives the full method. Prices for every quantity are on the [pricing page](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/). ## What do all six use cases have in common? All six need an address that stays the same for weeks. Each IP is fixed for its 30-day rental. Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online. The countries with their own page are the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. If your job needs a new IP for every request instead, read [static vs rotating residential proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/static-vs-rotating-residential-proxies/): SteadyProxy sells static IPs only. ## What is not a use case for SteadyProxy? Anything that breaks a target's rules or our [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/) is not a use case. Blocked targets: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. We also refuse creating or running extra accounts on a platform, fake engagement, reviews or orders, bulk email, credential attacks and ticket purchases. Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension. ## What else do buyers ask? ### Can one static IP serve several use cases? Yes, if the jobs do not conflict. One datacenter IP can sit on three partner allowlists and also run geolocation checks of your own site. Do not reuse a client's IP for another client, or a seller account's IP for a second store: keep one IP per account so each login history stays separate. ### What is the smallest order to try a use case? One IP. An ISP IP costs $2.24 and a datacenter IP $1.34 for 30 days. The top-up minimum is $25; the part added only to reach the minimum is refundable on request within 30 days, in USDT or USDC, if unspent. The rest stays on your balance for the next order. ### Do I need ISP proxies for IP allowlisting? Usually not. An allowlist compares the exact source address, so a dedicated datacenter IP at $1.34 does the job. Choose ISP only when the same IP also logs in to consumer platforms that treat hosting networks with extra checks. The [B2B allowlisting use case](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/ip-allowlisting/) explains both options. ### Does SteadyProxy sell rotating proxies for large data jobs? No. SteadyProxy rents static ISP and dedicated datacenter IPs only, per IP for 30 days. Large public-data jobs that need thousands of different IPs for a short time fit rotating residential proxies, which other vendors sell per GB. Our [static vs rotating comparison](https://steadyproxy.com/static-vs-rotating-residential-proxies/) explains where each one fits. ### Which countries can I use for these jobs? We publish pages for the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, and also rent IPs in the United States. Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online. A city can be chosen only when the checkout lists it; otherwise the IP is allocated in the country you pick. ### What happens if a target blocks my IP during a use case? Stop sending requests to that target first. A block often means the target does not accept your traffic, and our policy requires you to respect that. If the IP does not work at all, If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. Write to support with the IP and the time of the problem. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # ISP proxies for ad verification: see your ads as local users see them > ISP proxies for ad verification: check your or your clients' ads and landing pages from a fixed IP per country, $2.24 per IP for 30 days. Crypto, no KYC. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/ad-verification/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) **Quick answer — Why use ISP proxies for ad verification?** **ISP proxies for ad verification** let you load a publisher's page from a fixed consumer-ISP IP in a given country and record which ads, placements and landing pages appear there. **SteadyProxy** rents ISP IPs for $2.24 each, or $20.86 for 10 markets, per 30 days as of October 2026, paid in crypto with no KYC. Check campaigns you run or manage, and never click the ads. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | What you check | Ad presence, creative, placement, landing page, redirects, currency | | Why ISP | Ad systems often filter known datacenter traffic, so a datacenter IP may see fewer ads | | Setup | One ISP IP per market where you buy media | | 10 markets | $20.86 for 10 ISP IPs / 30 days | | Markets with pages | UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, plus US IPs | | City | A city can be chosen only when the checkout lists it; otherwise the IP is allocated in the country you pick | | Never | Clicking ads or reloading pages to create impressions | ## Why use an ISP IP rather than a datacenter IP for ad checks? An ISP IP is more likely to receive the ads a local user receives. The Media Rating Council's invalid-traffic guidelines treat known datacenter traffic as general invalid traffic, and many ad systems filter it before serving. A check from a datacenter IP can therefore show no ad, or a house ad, where real users see your campaign. To be honest about our product: ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. Some filters recognize this too, so compare your results with the campaign's own delivery reports. ## How do I run an ad check from a fixed IP? Run each check the same way so results are comparable: 1. List campaigns and markets. Four campaigns in the UK, Germany, France and the Netherlands need 4 IPs. 2. Give each IP its own fresh browser profile, with no logged-in accounts. 3. Open the publisher pages where the campaign is booked. 4. Take a screenshot with time, IP, country and URL. 5. Never click the ad: take its destination URL from the campaign set-up, open that URL separately and record the final landing page. 6. Repeat at fixed times, for example 9:00, 13:00 and 19:00 local time. Keep the records with the campaign report. ## What can a fixed IP show that a platform preview cannot? A fixed IP shows the live page around your ad, not only the creative. With it you can check: - the page and content next to the ad (brand safety); - the language and currency of the landing page in each market; - redirects added by a partner between the ad and your landing page; - whether a geo-targeted campaign appears outside its target market. A platform preview tool cannot show those four points, because it does not load the publisher's page from the market. ## How many IPs does an ad verification team need? One IP per market you check. Prices for 30 days, as of October 2026. | Markets checked | Plan | Price | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | 1 ISP IP | $2.24 | | Up to 5 | 5 ISP IPs | $10.88 | | Up to 10 | 10 ISP IPs | $20.86 | | Up to 25 (country and city checks) | 25 ISP IPs | $50.46 | ## What should you not do during ad verification? Do not interact with ads in a way that costs anyone money or changes campaign figures. That means: - never click ads, yours or a competitor's: paid clicks without a real visitor are click fraud; - do not reload pages to create impressions; - keep the request rate low on each publisher site; - do not reach blocked targets: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension. See the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/). ## What else do buyers ask? ### Can I verify a client's campaign rather than my own? Yes, when you manage or audit that campaign for the client. Keep the client's authorization with the report. Checking a competitor's ads by viewing public pages is possible, but never click them: a click costs the advertiser money and counts as invalid traffic. ### Can I target a city for ad checks? A city can be chosen only when the checkout lists it; otherwise the IP is allocated in the country you pick. Many campaigns target at country level, so a country IP is enough. For city campaigns, compare the city that IP databases report for the IP with your campaign's targeting before you rely on the result. ### How do I check which location an ad system sees? Open `https://ipinfo.io/json` through the proxy and record the country, city and network. Ad systems use their own databases, which can disagree with this one. If a check looks wrong, compare two or three databases before you conclude that the campaign is mis-targeted. ### Why do I see different ads at each visit from the same IP? Ad auctions run at every page view, so the winning ad changes even when the IP stays the same. A fixed IP removes one variable, your location. Repeat the check at set times and count how often your campaign appears, rather than reading one visit. ### Are datacenter IPs useless for ad verification? No. A datacenter IP ($1.34) is fine to check landing pages, redirects and the geo-routing of your own site. For checks of which ads are served to users, an ISP IP is closer to what a local user receives, because many ad systems filter known datacenter traffic. ### Can I run ad checks with a headless browser? Yes, with a normal browser library and a low request rate. Our [Playwright guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/playwright-static-proxy/) shows how to set a static proxy. Do not use plugins that hide automation or solve verification tests: they are outside our policy. Keep one browser context per IP, so each market keeps its own cookies and results stay comparable. ### Which ports and protocols work for ad checks? HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5. Browsers and most ad-checking tools use HTTP(S); SOCKS5 works too. Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs). Set the proxy per browser profile, not system-wide, so your own traffic does not pass through the market IP. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # Static ISP proxies for e-commerce seller accounts > Static ISP proxies for e-commerce seller accounts you own: one fixed IP per store from $2.24 for 30 days, plus local price checks. Crypto payment, no KYC. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/e-commerce/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) **Quick answer — Should I use static ISP proxies for my e-commerce seller accounts?** **Static ISP proxies for e-commerce seller accounts** give each store your business owns a fixed IP in its market for 30 days, and a way to see your listings and prices as local shoppers do. **SteadyProxy** rents one ISP IP for $2.24 or five for $10.88 as of October 2026, paid in crypto with no KYC. Use them only for accounts your company owns. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Scope | Seller accounts your company owns, and checks of public prices | | Rule | One fixed IP per seller account, in the account's marketplace country | | Price | $2.24 per ISP IP; $10.88 for 5 (30 days) | | Countries with pages | UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia, UAE, Saudi Arabia | | Allocation | Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed | | Blocked targets | Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587 | | Billing | Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies | ## Why does a seller account benefit from a fixed IP? A fixed IP gives your team one consistent login location. Marketplaces record the IP of each login and may ask for extra verification when it changes. A UK brand with staff in London, Lisbon and Warsaw produces logins from three countries on the same Amazon.co.uk account. Through one UK ISP IP, every login comes from the same address. This keeps verification requests to a minimum; it does not change the marketplace's rules. ## How do I set up one IP per store? Map each account to one IP in its market: 1. List your seller accounts, for example UK, Germany and France. 2. Order one ISP IP per account in the matching country. Three IPs fit the 5-IP plan ($10.88), with 2 spare for QA. 3. Create one browser profile per account and set its proxy. See the [browser setup guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/browser-setup/). 4. Give staff access to the profile, not the proxy password. 5. Record account, IP, country and end date, and renew before the end date. Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. Most marketplaces allow one seller account per business per region unless they approve more. The IPs must never be used to open extra accounts. ## How do I run local price checks from a fixed IP? Load the public product pages from an IP in the shopper's country and record what appears. Check your own listings first: price, currency, VAT display, delivery promise and stock message. Then check a short list of competitors' public product pages, for example 50 pages once a day per country. Spread requests over the day, follow robots.txt and stop when a site returns errors. For your own sales and listing data, use the marketplace's seller API: it is more complete than any page. The [geolocation QA use case](https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/geolocation-qa/) covers checks of your own shop. ## ISP or datacenter IPs for e-commerce? Use ISP IPs for seller logins and shopper-view checks, and datacenter IPs for back-office links. Marketplaces may add checks for logins from hosting networks. Datacenter IPs ($12.69 for 10) suit an ERP or warehouse system that a supplier allowlists, or feeds you download from your own suppliers. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. ## What should you not do with seller-account proxies? Do not use them for anything but your own accounts and public checks. Blocked targets: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. This means your payment-provider dashboard and your bank must be opened from your own connection, not through the proxy. Also: - do not open new seller accounts or return after a suspension; - do not post reviews or place orders on your own listings; - do not run checkout scripts that buy limited stock; - do not collect pages at high volume. See the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/). ## What else do buyers ask? ### Can I log in to Amazon Seller Central through a static ISP proxy? Yes, for an account your company owns. The marketplace's own rules still apply, and the IP does not change them. Use one IP per account in the account's country, and log in from the same browser profile each time. Never use the IP to create a second account in a region where you already sell. ### Why can't I open my payment dashboard through the proxy? Payment portals are on our blocked list: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. The block covers payment providers' dashboards as well as banks. Open them from your own connection. Your marketplace account and its reports are not affected. ### How many price checks per day are reasonable? Keep the volume small and steady. Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. A daily check of 50 product pages per country is a sensible start. Space the requests over the day, follow each site's robots.txt and terms, and stop when a site returns errors or a verification page. ### Can I use the same IP for my UK and German stores? Use separate IPs when the accounts are separate. A UK IP for the UK account and a German IP for the German account keep each login history in its own market. If one account covers several countries, keep one IP in the country where the account is registered. ### Can I manage my Shopify or WooCommerce admin through the proxy? Yes. Your own store's admin panel is a normal use. A datacenter IP ($1.34) is enough when the panel only checks an allowlist. Payment settings inside a store's payment provider are a payment portal, so open those from your own connection. ### Will the marketplace ask for verification after I switch to the proxy? It may, once, because the login comes from a new network. Answer it from the account owner's phone or email. After that, the account sees the same IP at each login for the 30-day rental. Tell your staff in advance, so nobody treats the request as an attack. ### What happens if the IP changes at renewal? Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. If the address changes, update your account sheet and expect one more verification at the next login. Renew a few days before the end date shown in your dashboard to keep the gap short. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # Static proxies for geolocation QA: test your site from each country > Static proxies for geolocation QA: test redirects, currency, language and consent banners from one fixed IP per country, from $2.24 for 30 days.

The IP stays the same, so every test run is repeatable. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | What you test | Geo redirects, currency, language, prices, consent banners, content rights | | Test matrix | 1 IP per country; 2 per country to test ISP and datacenter visitors | | 10-country matrix | $20.86 (ISP) or $12.69 (datacenter), 30 days | | Countries with pages | UK, Germany, France, Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia, UAE, Saudi Arabia, plus US IPs | | Location check | `https://ipinfo.io/json` through the proxy | | Protocols | HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5 | | Stock | Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online | ## What can geolocation QA catch before users do? Geolocation QA catches errors that only appear from abroad. Common ones: - a French visitor sent to the UK English page; - prices in USD for an Australian visitor instead of AUD; - prices without VAT in the EU, where consumer prices usually include it; - no consent banner for UK or EU visitors; - a left-to-right layout for Arabic pages in the UAE or Saudi Arabia; - missing Japanese fonts, or a video blocked by its licence in one market. Each one costs sales or creates a legal problem, and none shows up when testing from your own office. ## Why does a fixed IP make QA repeatable? A fixed IP gives the same location answer on every run. With rotating IPs, a failing test may pass on the next run only because the IP changed city or country. With the same IP for 30 days, a developer can reproduce the bug, fix it and re-run the exact test. Record the IP and the location reported by the geolocation database your site uses in each test report. ## Which checks belong in a country test matrix? One row per country with a page on this site. Add the United States if you sell there. | Country | Currency | Checks to add | | --- | --- | --- | | United Kingdom | GBP | UK GDPR consent banner, VAT-inclusive prices | | Germany | EUR | German language, Impressum link, consent banner | | France | EUR | French language, consent banner, VAT display | | Netherlands | EUR | Dutch or English, iDEAL shown at checkout if you offer it | | Japan | JPY | Japanese fonts, prices without decimals | | Canada | CAD | English and French versions, taxes shown at checkout | | Australia | AUD | GST-inclusive prices | | United Arab Emirates | AED | Arabic right-to-left layout, English option | | Saudi Arabia | SAR | Arabic right-to-left layout | ## How do I check which location the IP reports? Request a geolocation service through the proxy and compare its answer with your site's behaviour. The script below prints the IP, country, city and network seen by ipinfo.io. Set the four environment variables from your dashboard. Databases can disagree: your site may use MaxMind or IP2Location, so also check the IP with the database your site uses. The [Python guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/python-static-proxy/) covers sessions and SOCKS5. *Check the location of a static IP (Python)* ```python import os import requests proxy = "http://{user}:{pw}@{host}:{port}".format( user=os.environ["PROXY_USER"], pw=os.environ["PROXY_PASS"], host=os.environ["PROXY_HOST"], port=os.environ["PROXY_PORT"], ) resp = requests.get( "https://ipinfo.io/json", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}, timeout=20, ) info = resp.json() print(info.get("ip"), info.get("country"), info.get("city"), info.get("org")) ``` ## Should I test with ISP or datacenter IPs? Test with the IP class your users have. Shoppers usually come from consumer ISP networks; business users and cloud services often come from datacenter networks. Some sites and video services treat hosting networks differently, so a page can work from one class and fail from the other. A two-row matrix per country costs $2.24 plus $1.34 for 30 days. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. ## What should you not do in geolocation QA? Test only sites and apps that you own or are contracted to test. Do not use the IPs to watch or download content outside the regions its licence allows. Do not run load tests through the proxy: Billed per IP and per 30 days, not per GB; fair use applies. Blocked targets: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. And do not use a QA project as cover for collecting competitors' pages at volume. See the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/). ## What else do buyers ask? ### How many IPs does a geolocation test matrix need? One per country you test, or two if you test ISP and datacenter visitors separately. Nine countries need 9 IPs: the 10-IP ISP plan costs $20.86 and the 10-IP datacenter plan $12.69 for 30 days. The spare IP can cover the United States. ### Why does my site show the wrong country for a proxy IP? Your site's geolocation database may place the IP differently from the one you checked. Compare the result from `https://ipinfo.io/json` with your database's answer. If the IP sits in the wrong country in both, write to support: If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. ### Can I test city-level content? A city can be chosen only when the checkout lists it; otherwise the IP is allocated in the country you pick. City data in IP databases is less precise than country data, so city-level tests can give mixed results. Test city logic with a city the checkout lists, and accept that one database may report a nearby city. ### Can I use the IPs in automated test suites? Yes. Playwright, Selenium and plain HTTP clients accept a proxy with username and password. Our [Playwright guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/playwright-static-proxy/) shows the setup. Run the suite at a normal pace: a QA run is a few hundred page loads, not a load test. ### Do mobile app tests work through the proxy? Yes, if the device or emulator can use an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy. HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5. Note that a mobile app may also read the device's GPS or SIM country, so set those in the emulator to match the IP. ### Does the IP keep its location for the whole rental? The IP stays the same for the 30-day rental. Geolocation databases update their data over time, so a database could change the city or, rarely, the country it reports. Record the reported location in each test report, so a change is visible. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # Static IP for B2B allowlisted access > Static IP for B2B allowlisted access: a dedicated datacenter IP from $1.34 or ISP IP from $2.24 for 30 days, for SaaS panels and APIs. Crypto, no KYC. - URL: https://steadyproxy.com/use-cases/ip-allowlisting/ - Last updated: 2026-10-19 - Publisher: SteadyProxy (https://steadyproxy.com) **Quick answer — How do I get a static IP for B2B allowlisted access?** A **static IP for B2B allowlisted access** gives your team one fixed source address that a partner's firewall, SaaS admin panel or API can allowlist. **SteadyProxy** rents dedicated datacenter IPs from $1.34 and ISP IPs from $2.24 per 30 days, as of October 2026, paid in crypto with no KYC. You send the allowlisted traffic through the proxy, and the partner sees that one IP. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Usual choice | Dedicated datacenter IP: an allowlist checks the address, not the network type | | Price | $1.34 per datacenter IP or $2.24 per ISP IP, 30 days | | Recommended set-up | 2 IPs on each partner allowlist: one primary, one backup | | Proxy login | Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs) | | Protocols | HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5 | | Renewal | Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing | | Blocked targets | Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587 | ## When does a team need a static IP for allowlisted access? A team needs one when a B2B service accepts connections only from listed source IPs and the team has no fixed office IP. Typical cases: - a SaaS admin console with an "allowed IP addresses" setting; - a partner's REST API that accepts calls from registered IPs only; - a client's staging server or SFTP endpoint behind a firewall; - scripts in cloud functions whose own outgoing IP changes. Six remote staff on six home connections mean six allowlist entries, updated each time a home IP changes. Through the proxy, the partner keeps one or two entries for 30 days. ## Which IP should the partner add to its allowlist? The partner adds the exit IP that its server sees, not the proxy hostname and not your own IP. Check it in four steps: 1. Open your IP list in the dashboard. Your IP list (host, port, username, password, country, end date) appears in your dashboard once the IPs are allocated. 2. Request `https://api.ipify.org` through the proxy and note the address it returns. 3. Send that address to the partner as a single entry (a /32). 4. Make one test call to the partner's service through the proxy. The step-by-step setup for browsers, scripts and firewalls is in our [IP allowlisting how-to guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/ip-allowlisting/). This page covers when and why a fixed IP fits. ## Datacenter or ISP IP: which one fits allowlisting? A dedicated datacenter IP fits most allowlists, because the partner compares the exact address. It costs $1.34 for 30 days, and 10 IPs cost $12.69. Choose an ISP IP ($2.24) only when the same address must also log in to consumer platforms that add checks for hosting networks. Read [ISP vs residential vs datacenter proxies](https://steadyproxy.com/isp-vs-residential-vs-datacenter-proxies/) for the difference. Both types are on the [pricing page](https://steadyproxy.com/pricing/). ## How do the two allowlists differ? There are two separate lists. Our side controls who may use the proxy: Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs). The partner's side controls which addresses may reach its service. Example: you put your office IP and two laptop IPs on our list, and the partner puts the proxy's exit IP on its list. A change to one list never changes the other. Keep both in your runbook. ## What happens at the end of the 30 days? Each rental ends on the end date shown in your dashboard. Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. To avoid a lockout, renew a few days before the end date, then compare the IP list with the partner's allowlist. Keep a second IP registered as a backup: if the primary changes after renewal or a repair, the backup keeps access open while the partner adds the new address. If an IP fails: If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. ## What should you not do with an allowlisted static IP? Do not use it for targets our policy blocks: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. So a bank API, a payment-provider dashboard or a government portal cannot be reached through the proxy, even if it offers allowlisting. Also: - do not give the proxy credentials to the partner or a third party: Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed; - do not add the IP to a service you are not authorized to use; - do not treat the allowlist as the only control: keep API keys and two-factor login. The full rules are in the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/). ## What else do buyers ask? ### Can one static IP be allowlisted by several partners? Yes. One exit IP can sit on the allowlists of several services you are authorized to use. Use separate IPs when a contract asks you to keep each client's traffic apart, or when one partner must not see your traffic to another. The 10-IP datacenter plan costs $12.69 for 30 days. ### Will the partner see that the IP belongs to a proxy? The partner sees the IP and the network it is registered to. A datacenter IP shows a hosting network; an ISP IP shows a consumer internet provider. For an allowlist this does not matter: the rule matches the address. Tell the partner it is your team's fixed proxy IP, so their records are accurate. ### Can I send SFTP or SSH traffic through the proxy? SFTP and SSH run over TCP, so a client that supports SOCKS5 can send them through the proxy. Our protocols: HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5. Outgoing email is not possible, because SMTP ports 25, 465 and 587 are closed. Test the connection once before you rely on it. ### The partner wants a range, not single IPs. What do I send? Send single addresses (/32 entries). Several IPs in one order can share the same /24 subnet; subnet diversity is not guaranteed. A range such as a /24 would also cover IPs rented to other customers, so it would weaken the partner's control. Two single IPs, primary and backup, are safer. ### Can I choose the country of the allowlisted IP? Yes, at checkout, within the stock online. Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online. Some partners accept only IPs from their own country; check that before you order. We publish pages for 9 countries, including [Germany](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/germany/) and the United Kingdom, and we also rent United States IPs. ### How soon can I give the IP to the partner? As soon as it appears in your dashboard. Your IP list (host, port, username, password, country, end date) appears in your dashboard once the IPs are allocated. We do not promise a delivery time, so order before the partner's deadline. Payment is in crypto: send the exact amount shown, click "I've sent the payment", and the top-up is credited once confirmed. ### Is this page the same as the IP allowlisting guide? No. This page explains when a business needs a static IP for allowlisted access and which plan fits. The [IP allowlisting guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/ip-allowlisting/) is the technical how-to: where to enter the IP, how to test it, and how to set up our own proxy-side allowlist of up to 10 IPs. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # Static proxies for SEO rank tracking: stable local results, one IP per market > Static proxies for SEO rank tracking: check local rankings from one fixed IP per country, ISP from $2.24 or datacenter from $1.34 for 30 days.

Keep volumes low and use official search data first. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | What it fixes | Results that change with your own location or network | | Setup | One IP per country (or city) you track | | Volume | Low and steady: each keyword checked once a day | | First data source | Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools for your own site | | Price | $2.24 per ISP IP; $12.69 for 10 datacenter IPs (30 days) | | City | A city can be chosen only when the checkout lists it; otherwise the IP is allocated in the country you pick | | Protocols | HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5 | ## Why do rank checks need a fixed IP? Search results depend on location, so a check must come from the market you track. An agency in Manchester checking a client's rankings in Germany sees UK results unless the check comes from a German IP. A rotating IP can move between cities, and results move with it. A fixed IP for 30 days makes Monday's and Friday's checks comparable. The IP is one signal among several: also set the search engine's country and language options, and use a session without your personal account. ## How do I set up rank tracking with static IPs? Plan the volume first, then assign IPs: 1. Pick keywords and markets, for example 200 keywords in the UK, Germany and France. 2. Rent one IP per market: 3 ISP IPs. The 5-IP plan costs $10.88. 3. Set each IP in your rank-tracking tool or script for its own market only. 4. Run once a day at the same hour, with pauses between queries. At one query every 30 seconds, 200 keywords take 100 minutes per IP. 5. Store date, IP, market, keyword, position and URL. 6. Compare each week with Search Console averages. The [Python guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/python-static-proxy/) shows how to set a static proxy in a script. ## Should I use ISP or datacenter IPs for SEO checks? Use ISP IPs for search result pages and datacenter IPs for checks of your own site. Search engines often show more verification pages to hosting networks. Datacenter IPs ($1.34 each) are enough to check your own site from a country: hreflang redirects, local prices, page speed from that market and robots.txt answers. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. ## How do search engine terms affect rank tracking? Major search engines restrict automated queries in their terms, and a proxy does not change those terms. Start with official data: Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools give positions, clicks and impressions for your own site at no cost. Use static IPs for checks those tools cannot give, such as a competitor's position in one city, and keep them within the terms you have accepted. Stop when a search engine returns a verification page. ## What should you not do with SEO proxies? Do not try to change search results or overload a search engine. In particular: - no fake clicks on results to raise click-through rates; - no continuous high-volume collection of result pages; - no fake reviews for local business listings; - no services that solve verification tests; - no blocked targets: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. Read the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/). ## What else do buyers ask? ### How many IPs do I need for rank tracking? One per market. Tracking the UK, Germany and France needs 3 IPs; adding London and Manchester as separate city checks needs 2 more, if the checkout lists those cities. A city can be chosen only when the checkout lists it; otherwise the IP is allocated in the country you pick. The 5-IP ISP plan costs $10.88 for 30 days. ### Can I track rankings in a specific city? Yes, when the checkout lists the city. Otherwise the IP is in the country you pick. Search engines also use other signals for local results, so set the location option of your tool and compare with Search Console data for your own site. ### Will rank tracking through a static IP get blocked? It can, especially at high volume. We do not promise that any target accepts your traffic. Keep each IP to a few hundred queries a day with pauses, run at a steady time, and stop when you see a verification page. If you need much more volume, use the search engine's official data products. ### Can one IP track several countries? No. An IP has one location, and results follow it. A German IP gives German results even if you ask for the UK version, with some exceptions. Use one IP per market so each result set stays in its own market. ### Is Search Console not enough? For your own site, Search Console is the best source: it shows real positions and clicks. It does not show competitors' positions or the full result page in another city. Static IPs fill that gap for a small list of keywords. ### Which proxy protocol should my rank tracker use? HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5. Most rank trackers accept an HTTP proxy with username and password. Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs). Enter each IP with its own host, port, username and password from your dashboard, and assign it to one market only. ### What happens to my tracking history if the IP changes? Record the IP with every check, so a change is visible in your data. Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. A new IP in the same country usually gives comparable results, but note the date of the change in your report. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload. --- # Static proxies for social media agencies > Static proxies for social media agencies: one ISP IP per client account you manage, $2.24 each or $20.86 for 10, for 30 days.

The rule is one client account, one IP, used only to manage that client's existing account. ## What are the key facts? | Attribute | Value | | --- | --- | | Rule | One IP per client account you manage for that client | | Proxy type | ISP (static residential): IPs registered to consumer ISPs, hosted in datacenters | | 10 clients | $20.86 for 10 ISP IPs / 30 days | | Allocation | Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed | | Country | The client's market; Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online | | Replacement | If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows | | Proxy login | Username and password, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs) | ## Why does an agency want one stable IP per client account? A stable IP keeps each client's login history consistent. Social platforms record where each login comes from. A login from a new country or network can trigger a security check, such as a code sent to the client's phone. If the agency's staff log in from three home connections and one office, the account sees four networks a week. With one fixed IP in the client's country, it sees one. Example: an agency in Lisbon that manages a Dubai restaurant's account uses a [UAE IP](https://steadyproxy.com/static-residential-proxies/united-arab-emirates/). ## How should an agency set it up, client by client? Set it up in six steps: 1. Get the client's written authorization to manage the account (contract or email). 2. Use the platform's own partner tools first, such as Meta Business Suite roles or LinkedIn Page admin roles. They give access without sharing passwords. 3. Where a direct login is still needed, assign one IP per client, in the client's country. 4. Create one browser profile per client and tie it to that IP. See the [browser setup guide](https://steadyproxy.com/guides/browser-setup/). 5. Keep a sheet: client, account, IP, country, end date. 6. Renew before the end date. Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. ## How many IPs does an agency need, and what does it cost? One IP per client account. Prices for 30 days, as of October 2026. | Client accounts | Plan | Price for 30 days | | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | 1 ISP IP | $2.24 | | Up to 5 | 5 ISP IPs | $10.88 | | Up to 10 | 10 ISP IPs | $20.86 | | Up to 25 | 25 ISP IPs | $50.46 | | Up to 50 | 50 ISP IPs | $70.88 | The price per IP never rises with quantity. A 10-IP plan for 8 clients leaves 2 IPs for clients signed during the month. ## Should an agency choose ISP or datacenter IPs? Choose ISP IPs for client logins on consumer platforms, because some platforms add checks for hosting-network IPs. Choose datacenter IPs ($1.34 each) for back-office tools: a scheduling tool's admin panel, an analytics dashboard or a client's allowlisted CMS. ISP (static residential) IPs are registered to consumer internet service providers but run on servers in datacenters, not on home devices. The [ISP vs residential vs datacenter comparison](https://steadyproxy.com/isp-vs-residential-vs-datacenter-proxies/) explains the difference. ## What should an agency not do with these IPs? Do not use the IPs for anything other than managing a client's existing account for that client. In particular: - do not create or run extra accounts, for a client or for the agency; - do not produce fake likes, follows, comments or reviews; - do not use an IP to return to a platform after a suspension; - do not give the proxy credentials to clients: Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed; - do not reach blocked targets: Banking, government, payment-portal and ticketing sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587. Abuse reports are reviewed by a person, and confirmed abuse leads to suspension. Read the [acceptable use policy](https://steadyproxy.com/acceptable-use/) before you order. ## What else do buyers ask? ### Do social platforms allow agencies to manage client accounts? Most large platforms offer official partner or admin roles for agencies, and those are the first choice. Platform terms differ and change, and a proxy does not change them. SteadyProxy makes no promise about how a platform treats any login. Use the IP to keep a client's existing account consistent, not to work around a rule. ### Can two clients share one IP? They can, but we advise against it. If a platform reviews one account, it may look at other accounts seen from the same IP, and an unrelated client could be affected. One IP per client costs $2.24 a month at most per client, and less on larger plans. ### What if a client is in a country without a page on this site? Check the checkout first. Availability varies by country; the checkout shows what is online. We publish pages for the United Kingdom, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Japan, Canada, Australia, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, and we also rent United States IPs. If the client's country is not offered, use the nearest market the client approves. ### What happens if a client's IP stops working mid-month? Write to support with the IP and the time of the failure. If an IP does not work, write to support: we repair it or replace it with another IP in the same country when stock allows. A replacement is a new address, so update your client sheet and expect one security check on the client's account at the next login. Tell the client in advance. ### Does the client keep the same IP after 30 days? Renewal is manual, from your balance, before the end date. Keeping the same IP after the end date is not guaranteed, so renew on time and check your IP list after renewing. Renew a few days before the end date shown in the dashboard. If the IP changes, record the new one and tell the client that the next login may ask for a code. ### Can the client use the agency's proxy too? No. Each static IP is rented to one customer for the whole 30-day period; reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed. The client logs in from its own connection; the agency logs in through its rented IP. If the client needs its own fixed IP, the client can rent one with its own account. ### Can I pay for each client separately? Yes. Each order is per IP, so you can buy a 1-IP plan per client. The top-up is the plan's exact price, or $25 for a smaller plan, and what is left stays on your balance for the next client. Many agencies buy a 10-IP plan at $20.86 instead. --- SteadyProxy: SteadyProxy is a static proxy provider: ISP (static residential) and dedicated datacenter IPs rented per IP for 30 days, paid in crypto with no ID upload.
