Datacenter
Proxies

What are datacenter proxies and when are they the right tool?

Speed and price at scale

A datacenter proxy is an IP hosted in a commercial data center rather than assigned by a consumer ISP. Because there is no household or carrier in the path, it is the fastest and cheapest proxy type: sub-100 ms round trips, unlimited concurrent connections on a 10 Gbps backbone, and a unit price that drops to $0.26 per IP in bulk. For workloads measured in millions of requests, nothing else comes close on cost.

The trade-off: detectability

Datacenter IPs live in ASNs that every anti-bot vendor knows belong to hosting providers, so strict targets — Ticketmaster, Nike, most social platforms — challenge or block them outright. Datacenter proxies shine on targets that care about volume, not identity: search engines and SERP tracking, price and stock monitoring on lenient stores, public APIs, SEO audits, uptime and content checks, and internal load testing. When the target fights back, move up to static ISP or residential proxies.

Why subnet diversity matters

Many providers sell datacenter IPs from a few large blocks, so one /24-based ban takes out your whole order. LemonClub spreads dedicated IPs across hundreds of different /24 subnets: if one range is blocked, the rest keep running. Every IP is dedicated — never shared with another customer — and ships with HTTP(S) and SOCKS5, user:pass and IP-whitelist authentication.

Pricing and terms

Datacenter proxies are sold per IP for a 1-, 30- or 90-day term. A single 30-day IP starts at $2.80 and the price falls to $0.79/IP at 1,000 IPs; 1-day lines start at $0.52 and reach $0.26/IP in bulk — ideal for short monitoring bursts.
