Residential proxy IP and data center proxy IP are the more mainstream proxy types at present. Before using a proxy IP, people often choose one of these two types based on the nature of their business. So how do you distinguish between a residential proxy IP and a data center proxy IP?
First we need to understand the difference between residential proxy IP and data center proxy IP:
1. Residential Proxy IP
Simply put, residential proxy IPs come from real home networks and are generally identified as real users by websites. They are highly anonymous and can better hide the user's real IP. However, since residential IPs are few in number and difficult to obtain, they are generally more expensive. Residential proxies have a wide range of usage scenarios, including cross-border e-commerce account maintenance and web data extraction.
2. Data center proxy IP
The servers of data center proxy IP are located in data center rooms all over the world. Requests sent through data center IP can reach the target website faster, and the price of data center IP is cheaper than that of residential IP. Generally speaking, data center proxy is also suitable for many business scenarios, but it is more suitable for sites with low IP requirements.
Back to the topic, how do you distinguish between residential proxy IP and data center proxy IP during use?
You can use third-party website tools to distinguish between residential IP and data center IP:
Query platform: IPinfo (just search on Google).
IP distinction: 1. type: "hosting" is the data center IP; 2. type: "ISP" is the residential IP.

For example, if you check the residential IP address 87.101.81.169, the displayed type is ISP, which is a residential IP address.
