Datacenter, residential or mobile: which proxy should you choose?

Network origin, location and pricing model. Understand what actually changes before choosing a package.

First, separate origin from location

A proxy works as an intermediary between your application and the destination. “Brazilian” describes the exit IP location; datacenter, residential and mobile describe the network origin. An IP located in Brazil is therefore not necessarily residential. Check both characteristics before purchasing.

Datacenter per IP or per GB

MarketBet Brazil Datacenter is purchased by number of addresses. You find the list in the order files. Datacenter Premium GB is purchased by traffic: the balance is consumed as you use it, and the connection is configured in the dashboard. These are two different models, even though both originate in datacenters.

When to consider residential or mobile

Residential is relevant when your project needs a connection associated with a residential network. Mobile uses mobile telecommunications networks. The choice depends on your application, available location and expected usage. Neither guarantees access to every site or removes the need to follow the destination’s rules.

Make a testable choice

Define the required network origin, exit country and volume. Then validate with a smaller package and measure usage in your application. Compare the package total, billing unit and usage conditions rather than only looking at the lowest displayed number.
