What is it?

Static IPs are regular IPs, no different than the ones offered on our standard servers. The only difference is that you will be assigned the same external IP every time you connect to the Static IP servers which we currently have in 13 locations. They also come in 2 "flavors":

• Data-center IP  —  Standard IP address, no different than our regular servers
• Residential IP  —  Appears as if it's a home IP address assigned by an ISP

We don't offer dedicated IPs for privacy reasons.

Why should I care?

Static IPs can be useful in several situations, here are a couple:

• Reduced chance of blacklisting  —  When an IP is shared by thousands of people, there is a greater likelihood of someone doing something bad from that IP address, and getting it blacklisted by some 3rd party service or website. With a handful of people on each IP (usually less than 10), the likelihood of that happening is significantly smaller.
• Access control  —  You can block access to critical resources for all IPs but your static one. That way you can protect access to a secure resource.
• Less annoying  — If your IP changes randomly, you will see more CAPTCHAs, 2FA checks, and various "security measures" on random websites. A static IP will reduce/eliminate these occurrences.
