Residential IP: An IP owned by a company such as Verizon FiOS, AT&T U-verse, Cox, Comcast, Charter, or Time Warner that can be used in a real person's home. IP addresses are assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to their users. Those IP addresses that are tied to a home address are called residential IP addresses.
Of course there are other types of products on the market as follows:
1. Data center proxy: It is a proxy that uses the IP owned and managed by the data center (computer room), commonly known as the computer room IP proxy.
2. 4G mobile proxy: It is the real 4G IP address assigned to the mobile device by the mobile operator
3. Tunnel forwarding: Based on IP rotation, we can divide proxy IPs into two categories – rotating proxies and non-rotating (sticky IPs) (ps: compared to residential IPs, there is an extra layer of our rotation system, and no customer extraction is required)
How to determine whether an IP is a computer room IP or a residential IP? This question is often asked by overseas customers. We can use a website to make a judgment (https://ipinfo.io/), type=ISP represents a residential IP, type=hosting or business represents a commercial computer room IP. However, the prerequisite is that only when the proxy is successfully set up can this website be accessed to see whether the corresponding IP is a computer room IP or a residential IP.
