What are datacenter proxies?
A datacenter proxy is an IP address hosted on a server in a data centre, not on a home or mobile connection. You connect to it with a login and password, and websites see the proxy's IP instead of yours.
Datacenter IPs run on server hardware with fast, stable connections, and they cost less per address than home or mobile IPs. That makes them the usual choice for high-volume jobs where a fixed IP and a predictable cost per request matter more than looking like a household visitor.
Every datacenter proxy on T7Proxy is an IPv4 address in the country you choose, sold per IP for a fixed term.
Private (dedicated) vs shared datacenter proxies
Shared proxies put several customers on the same IP. They are cheap, but you inherit whatever the other users do with it, and your speed depends on their traffic.
Private proxies, also called dedicated proxies, give one customer an IP for the whole term. We only sell private datacenter proxies: nobody else uses your IP while you hold it, and the address stays yours until the term ends or you renew.
Buy one private proxy or 100
Start with a single IP to test your setup, or buy up to 100 in one order. Each order has one country and one term of 7, 14 or 30 days. Need more countries? Place another order: every order shows up in the same dashboard, with one .txt list per order.
What you get
- A dedicated IPv4 address in the country you choose
- HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 on separate ports with the same login
- Login and password, plus optional access from one allow-listed IPv4
- A one-click .txt list in ip:port:login:password format
- Renew and keep the same IPs, with optional auto-renew 12 hours before the end
- Free IP replacement, once per IP every 24 hours
- No per-GB charges: you pay per IP for the term
Datacenter vs residential vs ISP proxies
| Datacenter IPv4 | Static ISP | Residential | |
|---|---|---|---|
| IP source | Data centre servers | Static IPs on server hardware | Home connections, through a gateway |
| Billing | Per IP, per term | Per IP, per term | Per GB |
| IP changes | No, fixed for the term | No, fixed for the term | Per request, timed or sticky |
| Targeting | Country | Country | Country, region, city, ISP |
| Best for | Volume at a low cost per IP | Long sessions on one IP | Location-accurate data by city |
What datacenter proxies are used for
- Large-scale public data collection
- Uptime and performance monitoring from several countries
- QA and automated testing
- Market and catalogue research
- SEO checks on search results by country

SOCKS5 and HTTP datacenter proxies
Every datacenter proxy supports HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 with the same login. Each IP has an HTTP port and a SOCKS5 port, and the .txt download comes in either format.
HTTP(S) suits browsers, scrapers and most web tools. SOCKS5 works one level lower and carries any TCP traffic, so it fits apps and libraries that are not web clients. Use socks5h:// in curl to resolve host names through the proxy.

How to set up a datacenter proxy
- Copy your details. Open My proxies and copy the IP, port, login and password, or download the whole list as a .txt file in ip:port:login:password format.
- Add the proxy to your tool. Use the proxy URL http://login:password@ip:port, or socks5h://login:password@ip:port with the SOCKS5 port. Most tools, from curl and Python to Scrapy, Playwright, Puppeteer and Selenium, accept this format.
- Check the IP. Send a request to t7proxy.com/ip through the proxy. It should print the proxy's IP, not yours. You can also open What is my IP through the proxy to see the country and ISP.
curl -x http://LOGIN:PASSWORD@IP:PORT https://t7proxy.com/ip
import requests
proxy = "http://LOGIN:PASSWORD@IP:PORT"
r = requests.get("https://t7proxy.com/ip", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy})
print(r.text)import { ProxyAgent, fetch } from "undici";
const agent = new ProxyAgent("http://LOGIN:PASSWORD@IP:PORT");
const res = await fetch("https://t7proxy.com/ip", { dispatcher: agent });
console.log(await res.text()); Once it is connected, check that your proxy works: open What is my IP through the proxy and confirm that it shows the proxy's IP and country, not your own. To test a list of proxies at once, paste them into the free proxy checker.
