Picking by target sensitivity
Shared proxies are fine for tolerant targets and casual tasks where occasional slowdowns or shared reputation do not matter much. They stretch a budget when you need volume more than guarantees.
Dedicated proxies make sense for sensitive accounts, checkout flows, or targets that punish any hint of abuse, because you are not exposed to what other users do on the same IP. Predictability and isolation are the reasons to pay the premium.
How Nefo's model compares
Nefo sells the dedicated side directly. A static datacenter IP is one private IPv4 or IPv6 address, yours alone, with unlimited bandwidth in 131 countries: IPv4 costs $1.17 for 7 days, $2.31 for 30 days and $25.78 for 360 days. A Static Residential ISP IP is dedicated too, from $1.76 for 7 days.
For broad scraping and automation, the rotating residential pool draws on many real ISP addresses instead of one fixed IP, with sticky sessions up to 24 hours, prepaid from 5 GB and never expiring.
Frequently asked questions
Not inherently, but you share bandwidth and reputation with other users, so someone else's heavy or abusive use can slow you down or get an IP flagged. For sensitive tasks, a dedicated IP or a large rotating pool reduces that exposure.
Because you reserve the IP entirely, no other customer shares the cost. You pay for bandwidth you do not share, isolation and control over that IP's reputation.
Often. Rotating residential proxies spread your footprint across many IPs, and sticky sessions hold one IP up to 24 hours, which covers many needs without a permanently reserved address.
Yes, dedicated only. A static datacenter IPv4 costs $1.17 for 7 days and $2.31 for 30 days, and a Static Residential ISP IP costs $3.51 for 30 days. Both are yours alone for the rental. There is no shared static plan.
For sensitive accounts, prioritize isolation and stability. A dedicated static IP or a sticky residential session gives a consistent identity, whereas shared proxies risk inheriting another user's reputation.
