ISP proxies
One address.
It stays yours.
ISP proxies, also called static residential proxies
An ISP proxy is a single address from a carrier address block, assigned to you alone. It does not rotate and nobody else sends traffic through it. Here is what the term means, how it differs from the other types, and when a fixed address is the point.
Billed per IP per month · unlimited bandwidth · HTTP/HTTPS and SOCKS5
What it is
Hosted like a server, registered like a home line.
The name is confusing because it describes where the address is registered, not how you use it.
A fixed address
You get one IP and keep it for as long as you renew. Every request leaves from that same address, today and next month.
From a carrier block
The address is registered to an internet provider rather than a hosting company, so network lookups show an ordinary connection instead of a cloud server.
Yours alone
Rotating pools are shared between many users. A dedicated ISP address carries only your traffic, so its history is your own.
Compare
Static, rotating, or datacenter.
The three types answer different questions. Pick by what the task needs, not by which sounds best.
| ISP (static) | Rotating residential | Datacenter rotating | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Address changes | No | Per request or session | Per connection |
| Shared with others | No | Yes, a shared pool | Yes, a shared pool |
| Looks like | A carrier connection | A home connection | A cloud server |
| Billing | Per IP, per month | Per GB | Per GB |
| Best for | Consistency | Many distinct addresses | Volume at low cost |
| Read more | Static IPs | Residential | Datacenter |
Is it the right type?
When the same address every time is the point.
A fixed address is a different tool from a rotating pool. Neither replaces the other.
Good for
Accounts that expect a consistent address at each login. Services that only accept requests from an allow-listed IP. Long sessions that break if the address changes part-way.
Choose another type when
You need a different address per request: use a rotating residential tier. You need to run your own software: you want a VPS. You pay per GB and move little data: a rotating tier may cost less.
Worth knowing
A block can be registered in one country and announced in another, and geolocation databases sometimes disagree. Speed depends on the route to the site. Test one address before you commit to many.

Answers
A few things worth knowing.
Is an ISP proxy the same as a static residential proxy?+
Yes. The two names describe the same thing: a fixed address registered to an internet provider and assigned to one customer. Some providers also say dedicated ISP proxy.
Is an ISP proxy the same as a datacenter proxy?+
No. Both are fixed-line and fast, but a datacenter address is registered to a hosting company and shows up as one in network lookups. An ISP address is registered to an internet provider.
Does the address ever change?+
No. The address stays yours for as long as you keep renewing it.
Will every website accept it?+
No address type guarantees that. No tier guarantees that a particular website will accept your requests. Sites also weigh request patterns, account history and other signals.
Should I use an ISP proxy or a VPS?+
Use an ISP address when you only need your traffic to leave from one stable address. Use a VPS when you need to run software on the machine itself.
Need one stable address?
Pick a country.
Static ISP IPs are billed monthly per IP, with unlimited bandwidth. Countries and stock are listed on the static IP page.
