[154]

Did your Amazon account get banned using a data center proxy? Worried about the cost of a residential proxy? 922Proxy's 200 million residential IP pool + intelligent scheduling technology is solving the dilemma for businesses choosing a proxy – high anonymity and anti-blocking capabilities combined with controllable costs.

Residential Proxy vs. Data Center Proxy: Core Differences

Anonymity and Risk Control Avoidance

• Residential Proxy: Real home IPs (e.g., 922Proxy US residential IPs), 99.8% purity, 92% success rate in bypassing Amazon/Cloudflare risk controls;
• Data Center Proxy: Data center IPs are easily identifiable (e.g., IP type marked "Data Center"), directly blocked by some platforms.

Speed & Cost

• Data Center Proxy: Bandwidth up to 1Gbps, price as low as $0.03/IP, suitable for non-sensitive scenarios (such as SEO monitoring);
• Residential Proxy: Speeds 20-50M/S, but 922Proxy's ISP rotation proxy starts at $0.4/GB, reducing high-frequency crawling costs by 40%.

Stability & Coverage

• Data Center Proxy: Fixed location, unable to simulate users in multiple regions;
• Residential Proxy: 922Proxy covers 190+ countries, supporting city-level positioning such as New York/London.
