Buy ISP proxies: a guide to static residential IPs that last

01What are ISP proxies and why are they called static residential?

ISP proxies are IPs registered to an internet provider that you use at one fixed address for the period you choose. They combine the residential look of a home line with an address that stays put, which is why they are also called static residential proxies.

Where rotating residential proxies cycle through many IPs, an ISP proxy pins one IP to you like your own address. That makes it easy to pair one IP with one account, one browser profile or one server and keep it that way.

Order 1 to 500 IPs in the dashboard for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months. Pricing depends only on the number of IPs and months, so your budget stays the same however much data you move.

Because you keep the address for a long time, planning up front matters. Decide how many accounts you will run, in which countries and for how long, and the number of IPs, countries and months follow naturally.

02How do ISP proxies work technically?

An IP is assigned when you order and stays the same until the period ends. Unlike rotating proxies that pick a new exit IP per request, every connection goes out through the same IP, so your access history builds up cleanly under one address.

After ordering, the status under My orders moves from Activating to In use, and then you are ready. HTTP and SOCKS5 are both supported, and the same account token system as other products means it drops straight into the tools you already use.

Since pricing is per IP rather than per GB, data heavy account work such as large file syncs or image rich admin panels costs the same.

A fixed IP also makes records easy to manage. Access logs and security notices always show the same address, so a single table tells you which account uses which IP.

03What are ISP proxies best used for?

ISP proxies fit best when you need to look like the same user for a long time. The more a service adds security checks when the login address changes, the more a static residential IP pays off.

Teams running seller accounts on online marketplaces in several countries can assign one IP per store so each login location stays consistent. Agencies handling many ad manager accounts can split IPs per account and keep a clean record of which account connected from where.

They also suit long term tracking, where you build up months of search ranking or page changes from one location. With the same IP, location noise drops and time series data is easier to compare.

They also suit anyone who splits work across profiles in a browser profile tool. Give each profile its own fixed IP and cookies, settings and login address all stay consistent, like one real person.

• Marketplace seller accounts
• Separate ad manager accounts
• Long term rank tracking from one spot
• A fixed IP per browser profile
• A fixed exit address for remote servers

04How do you choose a country for ISP proxies?

You pick the country for ISP proxies at checkout from 60 countries. The IP keeps that country's address for the whole period, so there is no need to set the location again on every connection.

Match the country to where the account was created or where its main users are. A store aimed at UK shoppers gets a UK IP and a Japanese marketplace account gets a Japanese IP, so the login location and account details line up naturally.

If you run accounts in several countries, place a separate order per country to keep things organized. Splitting orders by country makes it easy to track which IP belongs to which account.

Before ordering, add a country column next to your account list and the number of IPs you need per country is clear at a glance. Order exactly that count per country and you get a set that fits.

05When does an ISP proxy IP change?

An ISP proxy IP keeps the same address for the period you ordered. It does not rotate by session time or request count the way rotating residential does, so you never need a session name.

If you need a different address, ordering an extra IP is the cleanest way. Pin one IP to each account for the long run and add a new IP when a new account comes along, so every account's history stays tied to one address.

Choose the period to match how long you will run the account. Start with 1 month for a trial, and once an account is here to stay, go for 6 or 12 months to keep the same address longer.

If you expect more accounts, ordering a few spare IPs in advance is a smart move. A new account can get its IP on day one and build its history at one address from the start.

06How much do ISP proxies cost?

ISP proxy pricing is $1.08 per IP per month, multiplied by the number of IPs and months. Traffic is not part of the math, so you see the full total the moment you order.

For example, one IP each for 20 seller accounts over 3 months comes to about $64.80. Running a single account for 12 months costs about $12.96 and keeps the same login address all year.

Run those same 20 accounts on per GB residential proxies at 2 GB per account per month and 3 months comes to about $93.60, with IPs that keep changing. Account work values a fixed address more than data volume, so ISP proxies win on both cost and fit.

Your balance never expires, so for big orders like 12 months it pays to top up with a bonus card. A $300 card, for example, adds a 30% bonus for a $390 balance.

07ISP proxies vs other proxy types: how do they compare?

Choose ISP when you need a fixed address that looks like a home line, and dedicated datacenter proxies when a fixed address is enough and cost comes first. Dedicated datacenter proxies cost $0.63 per IP per month across 18 countries and are great value on services that accept datacenter IPs.

Rotating residential proxies change IP per request or hold one for up to 120 minutes, which makes them strong for wide collection, while ISP is strong for long use of one address. Unlimited residential is a flat daily product that mixes many countries, better suited to bulk public data than account work.

A clean setup in practice is ISP for account logins and management, and residential or unlimited for market research collection unrelated to those accounts. Every product draws on the same balance, so changing the mix is simple.

When a job needs both the trust of a residential IP and the convenience of a fixed address, ISP proxies are the most balanced choice. Start small, confirm your account and IP pairs work well, then scale up.

08How do you order, set up and troubleshoot ISP proxies?

Save the pt_ token from sign up to a file, top up in the checkout window, then pick ISP proxies, country, quantity and period in the dashboard. The order is paid from your balance and moves from Activating to In use under My orders.

Once your IPs arrive, list each account name next to its IP in one table. Pin each account's IP in your browser profile tool or in automation tools like Puppeteer, Playwright or Selenium so every account always pairs with the right IP.

If a connection fails, first check that the order status is In use and that you chose HTTP or SOCKS5 to match your tool. If an order is canceled or refunded, the amount returns to your balance, ready for any other product.

As a period nears its end, review your account table and sort accounts you will keep from those you will wind down. Your next order then matches exactly the number of IPs you need.

• Pair one IP with each account.
• Keep a table of account and IP pairs.
• Always log in from the same IP.
• Pick months to match the account's lifespan.
