Datacenter proxy
A proxy server hosted in a commercial data center, offering fast and inexpensive IP addresses that are not tied to a consumer internet provider.
A datacenter proxy routes traffic through servers in commercial hosting facilities. The IP addresses belong to cloud and hosting companies rather than consumer ISPs, which makes them cheap, fast, and available in bulk. They are commonly sold as dedicated IPs, used by one customer, or shared pools. Because the network owner is identifiable as a hosting provider in public IP registries, websites can usually tell that the traffic comes from a data center rather than a household.
The choice between datacenter and residential proxies is a cost and credibility trade-off. Datacenter IPs excel where throughput and price matter more than the origin's appearance: collecting public data from sites that do not differentiate hosting traffic, internal QA against your own infrastructure, monitoring uptime and content from multiple regions, or providing stable egress points for automation. Where a destination treats hosting-range traffic differently, residential or ISP proxies are the usual alternative.
In Oculr, datacenter proxies are configured the same way as any other type: per profile, over HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS4, SOCKS5, or SSH. The built-in proxy checker reports geolocation and clear error diagnostics before launch, and launch guards can stop a profile from opening without its proxy or when the proxy country differs from what the profile expects.
