In cross-border business, IP proxy can be used as a bridge between the server and the user, and is an indispensable tool. Whether it is cross-border e-commerce platforms such as Amazon and Ebay, or social media marketing such as Facebook, Instagram, Tinder, etc., you need to strictly abide by the platform rules to prevent account blocking. Among them, proxy servers are needed everywhere to register and maintain accounts. So which one is more suitable for dynamic IP proxy or static IP proxy to register and maintain accounts?
1. The difference between dynamic IP and static IP
A dynamic IP is an IP address that is dynamically assigned to a network device by an Internet Service Provider (ISP). Whenever a device is connected to the Internet, the ISP will temporarily assign a dynamic IP address to the device based on the addresses in the available IP address pool. When the device disconnects from the network or reconnects, it may get a different IP address.
Static IP refers to a fixed IP address that is manually configured on a network device. Unlike a dynamic IP, a static IP address does not change while the device is connected to the internet. It is manually assigned and configured by a network administrator or user as needed.
Static IP is also divided into static ISP residential proxy and data center proxy. The difference between the two is that static residential proxy runs on a proxy server on residential hardware; while data center proxy is a proxy server that operates in a data center and cannot be accessed by ISP for residential Internet access.
To put it simply, dynamic residential and static residential IPs are closer to the real user network address, less likely to be identified and blocked, and more expensive; while static data center proxies are fixed IP addresses, more stable, and less expensive.
Whether you choose a static IP or a dynamic IP, when registering and operating a cross-border account, you must ensure that the IP is exclusive and pure. You can check out Kookeey's pure IP proxy, otherwise the account will face the risk of being blocked.
2. Which one is more suitable for registering and maintaining an account, dynamic IP or static IP?
First of all, dynamic residential IP is suitable for registration, while static IP is suitable for account maintenance. However, this statement is still one-sided and needs to be analyzed in combination with the business itself. Because in fact, no matter which platform is operated, using a fixed IP is definitely the safest. If you change the IP after registration, you will face certain risks. Therefore, it is generally more appropriate to wait for a period of time.
Why are dynamic IPs more suitable for registration, while static IPs are more suitable for account maintenance? There are three reasons:
1. Batch registration: Since dynamic IP is usually charged by traffic, it is generally recommended to use dynamic IP for batch registration. After registering the number, decide whether to change to static one according to the status of the account. If you use static IP, the cost will be several times higher than dynamic.
2. E-commerce platform anti-association: For platforms with very strong anti-association mechanisms such as Amazon, Etsy, Facebook, etc., it is best to use pure residential (static/dynamic) IP registration, but pure static data center IP is more suitable for stable operation; and the cost difference between residential proxies and data center proxies is several times, so many cross-border players will choose to use dynamic residential registration and static data center operation.
3. Account business services: This type of account sales generally only focuses on registration. After the account registration is completed, it is delivered to the user and the user binds a static IP. Therefore, account business services only need to manage the registration quality and registration costs. Dynamic billing is based on traffic, which is obviously more cost-effective than purchasing a static IP.
In short, if you want to register an account safely and obtain traffic data, it is suitable to choose a dynamic residential IP that simulates a real user; if you want to assist in the healthy operation of the store account, it is suitable to use a stable static IP.
