Since you clicked on this article, it means that you have a need or interest in the types and uses of IP. Most people know about IP, but for many beginners who do cross-border, TikTok, and ChatGPT, many people are not clear, so I will use this article to tell you. You are also welcome to give suggestions in the comment section.
1. Dynamic IP and Static IP
The literal meaning is easy to understand. Dynamic IP means that every time you use it, the IP you get will change. It may be 01 today and 05 tomorrow. On the contrary, with static IP, no matter when you use it, you will get the same IP.
Most of the novice users who usually use Scientific Internet Access are at airports, spending dozens of dollars a month or even a year. There is no need to quibble!
If the airport wants to ensure stable long-term operation, it will definitely not have only a few servers. So whether it is for load balancing for speed and efficiency, or to regularly clean up blocked IPs, the airport's IP will definitely change from time to time.
The general method of using the airport is to give you some subscription links, perhaps one link represents a country and region. When you choose the US region, you will be given a US IP each time, but it may be a different IP each time. Of course, many airports now also provide static IP services, which will definitely cost extra.
2. Shared IP and Dedicated IP
A shared IP is a subscription link you have at the airport. You are not the only one using it, but many people share the same IP with you. So if one person uses this IP to do something bad on a website and is blacklisted, then if you and a bunch of other people use this IP at the same time, and you still use this IP to log in or use that website, your account may be implicated.
Generally speaking, static IP and dedicated IP are together.
3. Computer Room IP
The computer room IP is the VPS we purchased. This type of IP is the hosting provided by various cloud service providers and data centers. These IPs are the computer room IPs. Computer room IPs are divided into native IPs and broadcast IPs. In fact, the term native IP is ambiguous on the Internet and represents two meanings. Some people directly refer to residential IPs when they talk about it. When these people say the term native IP, they actually mean residential IPs. The native IP at the computer room IP level mainly refers to the registration country of this IP and the country of the computer room where this IP is currently located. In this case, it is a native IP, otherwise it is a broadcast IP.
For example, if the country of registration of this IP is the United States, and the data center it currently belongs to is also in the United States, then it is a native IP. If this IP was originally registered in Singapore, but later someone may plan to open a data center in the United States, but because ipv4 is a bottleneck resource, or because the IP registered in the United States is too expensive, he went to Singapore to buy a batch of IPs, and then broadcast them to the United States. After the broadcast, the IP is actually owned by the United States.
Some video streaming sites, such as Netflix, pay more attention to the native IP, and the broadcast IP may not be available.
You can use this website to test whether our own IP is a native IP or a broadcast IP.

If they are the same, they are the native IP, otherwise they are the broadcast IP.
It should be noted that the IP of the computer room is allocated in an IP segment that is very continuous. Therefore, if one of your IPs is blacklisted, the website may block all the IPs in your subnet. This means that your IPs are connected. However, this problem basically does not exist for dynamic residential IPs.
4. Non-computer room IP
There are three types of IP addresses: dynamic residential IP, static residential IP, and mobile traffic IP. Residential IP is the IP address provided by the broadband Internet operator for our daily home use. Whether an IP address is residential or computer room type is clearly identified by a logo. If you want to see whether an IP address is computer room IP or residential IP address, you can visit this website.

It’s that simple, hosting is the data center IP, and ISP is the residential IP.
Dynamic Residential IP
Dynamic residential IP is charged by traffic, because it is not a long-term fixed use of an IP. Generally, this kind of IP website provides you with a large IP pool, and then you can get a residential IP from the IP pool each time, use it for a relatively short period of time, and when you want to use it next time, you will be assigned another IP.
Dynamic IPs like this are mainly shared by home users across the country through bandwidth sharing. However, because these home users may turn off the bandwidth sharing software at any time, dynamic IPs are unstable and can only be used for a relatively short period of time.
Mobile traffic IP
It is similar to a dynamic residential IP. When using a mobile phone, you can choose to share part of the bandwidth of the mobile phone with certain software, and then get certain discounts or rewards. Therefore, generally speaking, mobile traffic IP cannot be used for a long time, and mobile traffic IP is the most expensive among all types of IP. Basically, many are charged on a daily basis, which is seven or eight dollars, ten dollars a day, or even more expensive.
Static Residential IP
Static residential IP is relatively stable, and its stability and speed are much better than dynamic IP. In fact, some speeds of dynamic residential IP are not usable at all, or are very slow. The general billing method of static residential IP is based on the monthly rent, not the traffic. Many static residential IPs do not have a limit on their traffic on their websites. However, many Internet operators that provide such static residential IPs are generally not very large, so in some IP databases, it may still be considered as a computer room IP.
Finally, I have a question: Is a residential IP necessarily better than a computer room IP? I personally think that it is not necessarily the case. I personally think that the key to whether an IP is useful or not lies in how many people use it. The fewer people use an IP, the cleaner it is, and the less likely you are to be implicated by the IP's predecessor.
