Cross-border e-commerce practitioners should know: How to choose between IP proxy and VPS?

I believe that many cross-border e-commerce practitioners have faced a choice when they first started, that is, to choose an overseas IP agent or a VPS? As practitioners, basically all have such a demand, that is, to prevent account association, so we all need to understand the selection method of IP agent and VPS, which can help you better carry out cross-border e-commerce business.

IP proxy refers to a tool that protects the real IP address by changing the network IP address. It is generally used in conjunction with a fingerprint browser, which is the most mainstream choice. When choosing an IP proxy, we need to consider the following factors. The first is stability. A stable IP proxy can ensure that our network connection will not be disconnected to ensure the smooth progress of cross-border e-commerce. The second is purity. No one would want an IP that someone else has already used for cross-border e-commerce. This is very risky for our small store. The third is speed. A fast IP proxy can improve the efficiency of data transmission and make our operations smoother. Finally, a secure IP proxy can protect our personal information and transaction data from being stolen by malicious attackers.

VPS is the choice of many early practitioners. When choosing a VPS, we need to pay attention to the following aspects. The first is the geographical location of the server. Cross-border e-commerce needs to face markets in different regions, so choosing a VPS close to the target market can improve browsing speed and stability. The second is the performance of the server. A high-performance VPS can support complex e-commerce systems and a large number of page views to ensure that our website can run smoothly. Finally, operation and maintenance services are also important, because VPS often encounters some unexpected situations. Choosing a VPS service provider that provides 24-hour online technical support can solve problems in a timely manner and reduce the impact on cross-border e-commerce operations.

Both of them can essentially meet the needs of cross-border e-commerce practitioners, but in terms of convenience, the current mainstream choice is still the fingerprint browser + overseas IP proxy method, because this can more conveniently modify UA, time zone, language and other configurations, and is relatively stable. For VPS, multiple stores need to be adjusted and set up separately for each, which is relatively troublesome. It is easy to choose a pure IP, but it is still difficult to find a pure VPS.

In short, as a cross-border e-commerce practitioner, choosing overseas IP agents and VPS is crucial to our business development. I believe you should have your own answer after reading this. Our ultimate demand is a stable, fast and secure network connection, so that we can smoothly carry out cross-border e-commerce.
