Where does the cost difference between a static IP and a dynamic IP come from?
Using a proxy IP is like renting an apartment. Static IPs are long-term charters and dynamic IPs are temporary short-term rentals.Static IPs need to continuously occupy specific network resourcesAs in the case of long term rental apartments, operators need to maintain fixed lines to ensure that they can move in at any time, and the cost is naturally spread over the users. Dynamic IP is randomly assigned free address, similar to the hotel room rental by day, high resource utilization, the overall cost is lower.
In ipipgo's real-world business scenarios, the monthly cost of using a static IP for an enterprise-level user can be higher than a dynamic IP.30%-50%. That difference is spent in three main areas:
- address resource occupancy charge(Fixed IP requires separate server resources)
- maintenance cost(Ensuring long-term stable availability of IP addresses)
- technical guarantee(Additional inputs to guard against IP blocking)
What to choose for different business scenarios?
Business Type | Recommendation Type | Cost sensitivities |
---|---|---|
Long-term data monitoring | static IP | Stability inputs > number of IPs |
Batch registration of accounts | dynamic IP | IP Quantity > Single IP Quality |
Financial data collection | mix | Balance between quality and quantity |
ipipgo's pool of residential IP resources covers 90 million + real home network addresses.Dynamic IP for minute-to-minute switchingIt is especially suitable for crawler business that requires high frequency IP change. Its static IP is directly connected through residential broadband, which avoids the risk that the IP of the server room can be easily recognized.
Cost Optimization Tips
After an e-commerce company used ipipgo dynamic IPs, the cost of crawling dropped by 40%:
- Setting up smart switching rules (automatic change before triggering a ban)
- Flexible adjustment of IP usage by business peaks and valleys
- Mixed use of dynamic/static IPs (static for core interfaces, dynamic for general collection)
Special attention needs to be paid to theDon't blindly pursue low unit pricesThe IP address is not a validated IP address, but a validated IP address. Some ultra-low-cost IPs carry the risk of address contamination, which can nullify collection data. ipipgo passes carrier-grade IP quality testing to ensure that every IP is verified by real people using it.
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: What is the best choice for a small studio?
A: It is recommended to use dynamic IP to test the water first, ipipgo supports hourly billing, starting from 10 to carry out basic business.
Q: Will dynamic IP switching be recognized too often?
A: The key is to simulate the behavior of a real person. ipipgo's dynamic IP comes with a browser fingerprint disguise feature that synchronously updates device information with each switch.
Q: Is it cost-effective to use dynamic IPs for long-term projects?
A: Projects longer than 3 months are recommended to use a static + dynamic combination program. ipipgo provides a mixed package configuration tool that automatically assigns two IP types.
