Buy Datacenter Proxies, SOCKS5 and HTTP Plans
Socks5Proxy is a proxy service selling shared and private datacenter proxy plans. All IPs support HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5. Countries available: datacenter 47, total 50.
What is a datacenter proxy?
Datacenter proxies lease IPs from server/hosting providers. Your device connects to websites via these proxy servers, masking your real IP with the datacenter’s IP.
Datacenter IPs run on fast, stable infrastructure. Ideal for high-volume tasks like crawling, price scraping, rank tracking, and automated testing, where speed and volume matter. Faster than residential proxies with consistent IPs for simpler setups.
Socks5Proxy datacenter proxies have separate HTTP/SOCKS5 ports per IP: use HTTP for crawlers and SOCKS5 for other programs on the same IP.
What is the difference between shared and private datacenter proxies?
All three types use the same datacenter IP pool but differ in user sharing. Fewer users per IP means cleaner reputation at slightly higher prices.
Shared datacenter proxies (the Scraper plan) are shared by up to 3 users per IP. They have the lowest price per IP, which suits large scraping jobs that rotate through thousands of IPs. Private datacenter proxies (the Starter plan) are used by at most 2 users per IP. For sites that need a login, or jobs that keep the same IP for a long time, private is the better fit.
| Type | User per IP | Monthly price per IP | Plan | Bandwidth | Concurrent connections |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shared datacenter | Max 3 users | $0.0138 | Scraper, 5,000 IPs $69 | 1 TB per month included | 500 |
| Private Datacenter | Max 2 users | $0.39 | Starter, 100 IPs $40 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
How much do datacenter proxies cost?
Datacenter proxies are sold as plans. The Starter plan with 100 private datacenter IPs is $40 a month, and the Scraper plan with 5,000 shared datacenter IPs is $69 a month, all in US dollars.
Bigger plans cost less per IP. The Scraper plan comes to just $0.0138 per IP a month, and a 12 month annual payment takes off another 30%. Exact prices are shown in the plan table on the pricing page.
Payment is a method of immediately purchasing a plan. Choose your desired plan and country, make the payment, and the proxy list will be issued immediately.
Plans run for 1 month or 12 months. The term starts the moment you pay, and you keep the same IP list until it ends. Annual plans are paid at once and cost 30% less.
Add more IPs anytime by purchasing additional plans. New IPs appear in the same dashboard list. Use a single API key to retrieve all proxies across multiple plans.
Which countries offer datacenter IPs?
Datacenter IP countries: 47. US cities: New York, Ashburn, Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Miami, Seattle. Europe: UK, Germany, Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, Poland, Sweden. Asia: Japan, Singapore, India, Thailand, Indonesia. Also Australia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, South Africa, Egypt.
Shared datacenter plans offer mixed-country or single-country pools. Mixed pools maximize IPs for global scraping; single-country pools target localized results.
What are datacenter proxies used for?
Datacenter proxies are fast and cost-effective for high-request tasks. Common uses for developers/data teams include:
- Web crawling/scraping: Gather public product data, news, real estate listings, or job postings across distributed IPs.
- Price monitoring: Check prices on e-commerce and travel sites at scheduled intervals
- Rank Checking: Verify your site's position in country-specific results.
- Automation Testing: Verify how pages appear in different countries using Selenium, Puppeteer, and Playwright.
- Distribute API requests: Spread calls to IP-restricted public APIs across multiple proxy IPs.
- Ad & Content Verification: Check ad, banner, and content exposure differences by country.
Which should I choose: datacenter or ISP proxies?
Datacenter proxies use IPs registered to hosting providers. While most websites accept them, some e-commerce/social platforms scrutinize hosting IPs more closely. For long-term account management on such sites, static residential ISP proxies are better.
For collecting lots of public data, datacenter proxies win on both price and speed. Many customers buy the Scraper plan for collection and a dedicated ISP plan for login work. Both are managed in the same dashboard and API.
| Item | Datacenter proxies | ISP proxy |
|---|---|---|
| IP registered range | Hosting/Server Company | Residential internet provider |
| Speed | Very Fast | Fast |
| Starting plan | Starter $40/month | Social $49/month |
| Number of countries available | 47 | 19 |
| Best for | Large-Scale Collection, Testing, Ranking Checks | Account operation, e-commerce, social media |
How do I connect to my purchased datacenter proxy?
After payment, the IP, HTTP port, SOCKS5 port, username, and password appear line by line on the My Proxies screen in the dashboard. Use these values in crawler, browser, or automation tool proxy settings for immediate connection.
Choose between two authentication methods: username and password works anywhere, while IP authorization allows connections from up to 10 IPv4 addresses stored in the dashboard without a password. IP authorization is convenient for programs or browsers where entering passwords is difficult.
Lists support ip:port:user:pass, user:pass@ip:port, socks5://, http:// formats, or direct REST API retrieval.

Proxies must be used legally. Spamming, attacks, fraud, and illegal content access violate our ToS and may result in account suspension. When scraping, respect target sites' terms and request rates.
Space requests appropriately and route failed attempts through alternate IPs to keep individual IPs clean longer. Shared plans support up to 500 concurrent connections. Consider private or dedicated plans for higher throughput needs.
How fast and stable are datacenter proxies?
Datacenter proxies operate on high-capacity, redundant infrastructure. Unlike residential connections, speeds don’t drop during peak hours, and reboots don’t disrupt overnight scraping jobs.
Latency depends on distances between your server, proxy, and target. Use Ashburn/NY IPs for US sites, Frankfurt/Amsterdam for EU sites, or match proxy locations to your servers.
Shared plans (1TB/month + 500 connections) suffice for text-heavy scraping. Private/dedicated plans better handle large files (images/videos).
What should I know when coding a crawler with datacenter proxies?
Even with many IPs, overloading requests to a single IP will get it restricted first. Distribute requests evenly across IPs and add delays between requests to the same site for cleaner, longer-lasting usage.
Rotate to next IP on failure rather than retrying immediately. Temporarily retire IPs showing consecutive 403/429 errors. This rotation logic can be implemented in Python, Node.js, or Scrapy with few lines (see tool-specific examples in our guides).
Download lists via dashboard, but API fetches ensure newly purchased IPs are included automatically.
How do I purchase datacenter proxies?
Register with an account token, choose plan type and country on the purchase screen, and pay. Minimum payment: $40. 25 payment methods including USDT are available.
After purchase, your proxy list is issued immediately. Download it from the dashboard or fetch it via API. If payment is complete but proxies aren't issued, the amount is refunded to your credit.
