What is the data center IP?
The IP of the computer room is the IP provided when we buy the VPS. It is hosted by the data center of various cloud service providers. Note that the IP segment of the computer room IP is very continuous. If one of the IPs is blacklisted, the website may block all the IPs in your subnet. That is, it is connected. The computer room IP is divided into native IP and broadcast IP. The term native IP is ambiguous on the Internet and represents two meanings:
Some people directly refer to it as residential IP when talking about it, but what they actually want to express is this meaning of residential IP.
As for the native IP at the data center IP level, it mainly refers to the country where the IP is registered and the country where the data center where the IP is currently located is consistent. 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, he may think that IPs registered in the United States are too expensive, so 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.
However, some databases cannot be updated in time, so if the IP database used by the website you visit has not been updated, they may still think that your IP is from Singapore, not the United States, which will have a certain impact on your use of this website. Some other video streaming websites, such as Netflix, may pay more attention to the native IP, and the broadcast IP may not be available.
What is a Residential IP?
Residential IP is the IP provided by the broadband Internet operator that we use in our daily homes. Residential IP has the characteristics of non-consecutive numbers, scattered distribution and consistent distribution with ordinary netizens, and is usually not blacklisted, which means that they look more like the IP addresses of real users. These characteristics make residential IP have a higher success rate and a lower probability of being blocked in some application scenarios compared with computer room IP. It also has obvious advantages in crawler collection, replenishment business, SEO and other businesses that require a large number of short-term dynamic IPs.
This is generally divided into dynamic residential IP and static residential IP.
Dynamic Residential IP
This type of IP website is usually called residential proxy, or with a rotating word in front, which means rotating residential IP. Dynamic residential IP is generally charged by traffic, because it is impossible to use an IP stably for a long time. Generally, this type of IP website provides you with a large IP pool, and then you can get a residential IP from the IP pool for a relatively short period of time each time, and when you want to use it next time, you will be assigned another IP.
This kind of dynamic IP is actually the IP shared by home users around the world who share bandwidth. After sharing, you will get some small rewards. 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.
How to distinguish between computer room IP and residential IP?
There are obvious signs to determine whether an IP is residential or data center type. You can go to this website https://ipinfo.io. Enter your IP and it will show some information about the IP. What you need to pay attention to is the "type" under the "ASN". If it is hosting, it means it is a data center IP.
Is a residential IP necessarily better than a computer room IP?
That's not necessarily true. From my own experience, websites or apps like PayPal and Bank of America and most US shopping websites are not that strict about data center IPs, at least not at the moment. They won't target you if they see you have a data center IP.
I have used the data center IP for the three services I just mentioned for a long time and they all worked well. I personally think 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.
What does it mean to be implicated? Take Paypal for example. Your ex may have used this IP to register for Paypal, but because of problems with his information or because he messed around and got blocked, this IP may have entered Paypal's risk control database. Later, he no longer used this IP. When you purchased it, this IP was assigned to you. You used it to register for PayPal. Even if your information is completely OK, this IP may have been marked by PayPal. Then you may be permanently blocked as soon as you register. Who can you go to for justice?
But if your ex only used it to register for PayPal and didn't use TikTok, then after you get the IP, you can register for TikTok, because TikTok has not marked the IP, and you may be able to use TikTok well. So there is no 100% absolute good or bad on this issue, it's all a matter of probability.
