Datacenter Proxy Pricing

Datacenter proxies bill per IP per month with unlimited bandwidth, which flips the cost model completely versus residential per-GB economics.

Shared IPv4 starts near $0.30/IP at volume, dedicated IPv4 runs $1–$3, and IPv6 can drop below $0.05 per address. Some vendors sell bandwidth-metered datacenter gateways instead, usually $0.20–$0.60/GB.

Model cost per successful request, not per IP. If a $0.50 IP gets blocked on 40% of requests, its effective price is far above a $2 IP with a 2% block rate on the same target.

Scale IP count only until per-IP request rate falls below the target's rate limit; beyond that you are buying idle capacity.
