What is the difference between dynamic proxy IP and static proxy IP?

On the Internet, we often need to use proxy IP to hide our real IP address in order to access restricted websites, protect privacy, and improve network security. However, due to the diversity of business needs, in order to meet user needs, proxy IP is divided into two types: dynamic proxy IP and static proxy IP. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages and applicable scenarios. This article will introduce the difference between dynamic proxy IP and static proxy IP in detail.

Dynamic Proxy IP

Dynamic proxy IP means that each time you connect to the proxy server, you will get a different IP address, which can effectively avoid being identified and blocked by the target website. Dynamic proxy IP has high anonymity and stability, can cope with various anti-crawler strategies, and is suitable for occasions such as website collection, likes, voting, account registration, etc. that require frequent changes of IP addresses. Different charging methods will be selected for different businesses, as follows:

Charge by IP

• Features: short-term dynamic IP, non-fixed IP address, maximum validity period of 24 hours, billing by number of IPs, but no traffic limit.
• Applicable scenarios: Suitable for short-term use and high-traffic businesses, such as crawler businesses that need to read and download large amounts of data, effect replenishment, online voting, and other businesses.
• For example, for video and image crawling services, because the crawling speed of videos and images is relatively slow, there will not be frequent requests, and there is no need to rely on rotation to disperse requests. In addition, videos and images consume more traffic, so it is more cost-effective to use a proxy type that charges by IP.

Pay by traffic

• Features: IP rotates every 3-5 minutes. After the order is generated, there is no limit on time, IP, or package. You pay according to the traffic used.
• Applicable scenarios: Services that are insensitive to IP changes, require efficient connections, and use less traffic, such as batch account registration, search engine rankings, web page data crawling, etc.
• For example: For example, the IP requirement for batch account registration is multiple IP addresses, and the traffic requirement for registered accounts is relatively low. Choosing to charge by traffic can effectively improve efficiency and reduce costs.

Static Proxy IP

Static proxy IP means that the same IP address is used every time you connect to the proxy server, which can maintain a persistent connection with the target website and improve access speed. The advantages of static proxy IP are low price and no need to frequently switch IP addresses. It is suitable for scenarios that require stable connection and security, such as platform operation and promotion and marketing. Static IP is divided into residential IP and computer room IP. This article takes residential IP as an example to introduce it in detail:

Charge by IP

• Features: Unlimited traffic, you can flexibly choose proxy IP for 1, 3, 7 days or a whole month according to your needs.
• Applicable scenarios: Since it is a high-quality static IP with worry-free traffic, it is generally used for long-term clean IPs that need to remain online 24 hours a day and for businesses with high traffic consumption, such as Youtube, Tiktok and other foreign e-commerce social account maintenance and live broadcasting.
• For example: For example, in Tiktok operations, since all works are short videos, both maintaining an account and posting require high traffic consumption, and the platform has high requirements for IPs, requiring clean and stable IPs. Therefore, choosing static charging by IP can keep the IP stable and reduce costs.

Pay by traffic

• Features: After placing an order, there is no limit on time, IP address, or package. You pay according to the traffic you use.
• Applicable scenarios: This method is suitable for businesses that need to maintain a stable IP online 24 hours a day, have high IP demand, and have low traffic consumption, such as Amazon, Facebook, eBay and other foreign e-commerce social account registration, account maintenance, and posting operations.
• For example, Facebook matrix operation requires multiple high-quality IPs with low traffic consumption. Using static residential IPs that are charged by traffic can provide users with more real and pure IP addresses, avoid platform association, and low traffic consumption also greatly improves cost-effectiveness.

Due to different business needs, there are various classifications of proxy IPs. The more detailed the classification, the more helpful it will be to users. Of course, there are still many agents who only provide monthly rental services, which means that users cannot flexibly choose the proxy IPs they need. Therefore, when choosing, you can focus on how many proxy services the agent provides. This not only allows you to choose a more cost-effective proxy service, but also indirectly highlights the agent's attention to users. The IP quality and subsequent services of the agent will also be excellent.
