Residential, ISP, datacenter or rotating IPv6: which proxy for which job
What each of the four GhostConnect proxy types is, how it is billed and authenticated, what it is good and bad at, with live prices and limits.
A static residential IPv4 address on a consumer internet provider's network, dedicated to you alone, with unlimited bandwidth, for $5.00 per IP per month. It looks like a home to the sites you reach and behaves like a server for you: the same address every day, for as long as you keep paying. 7 countries, HTTP and SOCKS5, one free IP swap every term.

An ISP proxy is a static IPv4 address registered to a consumer internet provider and hosted on infrastructure that stays up. To a website it is a residential address: a home connection, with a provider's name behind it, in a country it expects to see. To you it is a dedicated server address: the same IP every day, no rotation, no bandwidth meter, and nobody else using it while it is yours.
That combination is what a residential proxy cannot give you (its addresses change, and its bandwidth is metered) and what a datacenter proxy cannot give you (its address is plainly a server's).
$5.00 per IP per month, for terms of 1 to 24 months. One IP for a month costs $5.00; one IP for a year costs $60.00; five IPs for three months cost $75.00. An order can hold up to 1,000 IPs, or up to 249 for terms of 12 months or longer, and never more than the country has in stock. Stock is live: the order form and the API catalog show how many addresses each country has before any money moves.
A renewal covers every IP in the order, for any term. Switch on auto-renew and the renewal is paid from your balance about a day before expiry, so a running setup never lapses because somebody forgot a date.
7 countries: United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, France. Each one is a single all-purpose pool, so there is no use-case or city to pick, only the country. Addresses are allocated from that pool when the order is paid.
Every term includes one free IP swap. Use it from the proxy's page and every address in the order is replaced with fresh ones from the same pool: the old addresses stop working immediately, and your proxy ids stay the same, so scripts and bookmarks keep working. A renewal grants the next swap. It is the answer to an address that has picked up a bad reputation somewhere you need it to work.
Each IP comes with its port, a username and a password, shown on the dashboard the moment the payment confirms, with connection strings ready to paste. HTTP and SOCKS5 are both available. Authentication is by username and password only: there is no IP allowlist on this product, and the credentials cannot be reset from the dashboard. If you need new ones, message support from your account.
Good for: anything that needs the same clean address for a long time. Managing accounts that notice when your address changes, retail and ticketing sites that refuse hosting ranges but find a rotating address suspicious, sessions that have to survive for weeks, a stable address for a tool that runs around the clock.
Not for: short jobs. An ISP order cannot be ended early and runs to its expiry date; if you need an address for a week, buy a datacenter proxy for a week instead. It is also the wrong tool for high-volume rotation, since you are paying for one address to stay still; for that, see rotating IPv6 or a rotating residential session.
The network records the destination and the response status of each request, used to measure success rates, and nothing else. The address you connect from is never logged, and the content of what you send is not looked at. Your account is a random key with no name or email attached. The privacy page lists everything this site stores.
Both look residential to the sites you reach. A residential proxy routes through real homes, changes address and is billed per GB. An ISP proxy is one static address that is yours alone, with unlimited bandwidth, billed per month.
No. Each of the 7 countries is one all-purpose pool; you choose the country, the term and the number of IPs.
Yes. ISP proxies are billed by time, not by data. Nothing on the plan is metered.
Every term includes one free swap. It replaces every IP in the order with fresh ones from the same pool, and your proxy ids stay the same. A renewal grants the next swap.
No. An ISP order runs to its expiry date. For a short job, a datacenter proxy can be bought for as little as a week.
Not on this product. ISP proxies authenticate by username and password only, which also means you never have to tell us where you connect from.
Your account is a random 32-character key, shown once. Pay in Monero, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum or USDT, or by card on Stripe's page. Nothing on the site asks who you are.
Four proxy types, four different trades between how real the address looks, what it costs and how long it lasts. The comparison guide puts them side by side.
What each of the four GhostConnect proxy types is, how it is billed and authenticated, what it is good and bad at, with live prices and limits.
Email, name, payment identity, sign-up IP, access logs, API source and attachments: what most providers keep, and what GhostConnect holds instead.
What a card, each coin and cash by mail leave behind, how the balance works, and what happens when a crypto payment is late or short.
A random key is the whole account. Pay in crypto or by card, and the credentials appear the moment the payment confirms. Nobody on file behind the exit.
