Questions
What are datacenter proxies?
Servers in a rack, sold by the IP with bandwidth to spare. The cheapest thing on this site by a mile, and the first thing a careful site blocks.
How much do datacenter proxies cost?
Across the 6 providers we track selling them, the range is $0.90 to $0.90 per GB on their cheapest comparable plans. Each figure comes from the provider's own pricing page and carries the date it was read, see the list above.
Which datacenter providers sell without ID checks?
4 of the 6 we track will sell to you with an email address alone; the rest ask for identity documents. Neither is automatically better, some buyers need to avoid ID checks, and some read their absence as a warning sign about how the network was built.
