Datacenter proxy
An address belonging to a server rather than a household. Datacenter address ranges are registered to hosting companies and published, so identifying one is a lookup rather than an inference.
Why it costs you money
It is the cheapest bandwidth in this market by a wide margin, which makes it the right thing to test first. Where a target accepts it you have saved most of your budget; where it does not, you find out in an hour for about a dollar rather than by committing to a residential plan.
