Proxy glossary

What is an ISP proxy?

An ISP proxy is a static IP address hosted in a data centre but registered to a consumer internet provider, so it looks residential and does not rotate.

ISP proxy explained

Also called static residential proxy.

It sits between residential and datacenter. The server lives in a rack and has datacenter speed, while an ASN lookup names a home broadband company. The address does not rotate, so a site sees the same visitor every time.

That makes ISP the usual pick for anything with a login or a cart, where a changing IP triggers a security check or ends the session.

It is not a perfect disguise. A determined anti-bot vendor can still tell a static hosted address from a home line by signals other than the ASN.

For example

A bot logs into your own account on a ticketing site every morning to check for returns. Each login from a new residential IP triggers an email code. One ISP address keeps the login looking like the same person at home.

How it works at ProxyMonkey

  • Rented per IP for a term of 30 to 365 days, with the country picked at checkout. The address stays yours for the whole term.
  • Shared splits an IP between 3 users and includes 1 GB of traffic per IP, with more sold per GB. Dedicated gives you the IP alone, with no traffic meter. A faster uplink is a paid add-on. Premium gives you the IP alone, with no traffic meter, plus a fresh IP nobody has used before and the option to swap the IP yourself.
