Static IP setup in four steps

A static IP is a dedicated datacenter address that does not change for the rental term. Nobody else uses it, and bandwidth is unlimited.

  1. Choose IPv4 or IPv6. IPv4 costs $1.17 for 7 days, $2.31 for 30 days and $25.78 for 360 days. IPv6 costs $0.72 for 30 days and $8.57 for 360 days.
  2. Choose a country. 131 countries are available.
  3. Buy it from the static IP section of the dashboard, paying from your balance.
  4. Copy the connection details from your list of IPs and enter them in your browser, antidetect profile or script.

Connect and test your static IP

The IP supports HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 with username and password authentication. Test the address with a request and read back the exit IP:

bash
curl -x socks5h://USERNAME:[email protected]:9000 https://api.ipify.org

Replace the host and port with the ones shown for your IP if they differ. The result should be the same address on every request. Check IPv6 support in your tool before choosing an IPv6 address; if a site or tool only works over IPv4, buy IPv4.

Static datacenter IP or static ISP IP?

A static datacenter IP is the cheaper option and suits automation, monitoring and accounts where a stable server address is acceptable. A static residential ISP IP looks like a home connection. If a day is enough, a 24-hour residential IP costs $0.09. See shared vs dedicated proxies for the wider trade-off.

Tips for choosing a term and renewing

Pick a short term first, such as 7 days, if you only want to test an address with your tool, and move to 30 or 360 days once it works for you; the per-day price falls as the term grows. A static IP is dedicated, so you do not share its reputation with other customers. Static IPs and ISP IPs are not refundable once provisioned, so check the country and protocol before you pay. For many addresses at once, use the dashboard list and the API docs to manage them.
