Where proxy routing can help

Use a proxy when the task genuinely needs a different network origin, a regional view, or requests distributed across an address pool. The activity still has to respect applicable law, contracts, and target-site rules.

Web Scraping

Collect permitted public data while distributing requests across the network and locations the project requires.

Ad Verification

Verify ad placements and detect fraud across geographic locations in real time.

Market Research

Access localized search results and accurate competitor pricing data from any country.

Social Media

Keep authorized account workflows on a consistent, appropriate network origin while following platform rules.

SEO Monitoring

Track SERP rankings and keyword positions from any location in the world accurately.

E-commerce

Compare public prices, availability, and listings across the markets included in the collection plan.

200+ published locations

Coverage in 200+ countries and territories, with the deepest pools in the US, UK, Germany, France, and Canada. Per-country totals below count IPs across all networks (residential, mobile, and datacenter); residential-only pools are smaller. Geo-target by country, city, ZIP, GPS, or ASN at no extra cost.

How Rotating Proxies Work

The gateway reads the network, location, and session instructions in your proxy credentials. Rotating mode requests another available address; sticky mode asks the pool to retain one address for a defined session window.

Rotating mode

Use rotating mode when requests do not need to share one network identity. The next address comes from the selected pool and location, subject to availability.

Sticky mode

Keep the same IP for up to 120 minutes, built for login flows and multi-step workflows that need a stable session.

Residential proxies

ISP-assigned network addresses with the broadest published pool and the most granular location controls.

Datacenter proxies

Hosted addresses with volume pricing from $0.50/GB at 1 TB for compatible collection and monitoring workloads.

Mobile proxies

4G and 5G carrier-network addresses for mobile app QA, regional checks, and authorized workflows where mobile origin matters.

Questions to resolve before choosing a proxy pool

Compare network origin, targeting, session controls, price, and permitted use before you commit traffic.

What are rotating proxies and how do they work?

A rotating proxy asks the gateway to select an address from the chosen pool for a request or session. The route is controlled through the proxy credentials. Rotation reduces dependence on one address, but address availability and target-site rules still affect each result.

What is the difference between residential and datacenter proxies?

Residential routes use ISP-assigned network addresses, while datacenter routes use addresses hosted in data centers. Residential routing offers more location detail and may suit sites that treat network origin as a signal. Datacenter routing is the lower-cost option for workloads where throughput matters more than a consumer network origin.

How do I choose a proxy type for my use case?

Start with the least expensive network that meets the target and location requirements. Use datacenter for compatible collection and monitoring jobs, standard residential for granular location control, Residential Flex for country-level residential traffic at a flat rate, and mobile when a carrier-network origin is part of the test. Validate the choice against a small sample before increasing traffic.

Are rotating proxies legal to use?

A proxy is a general-purpose networking tool. Whether a particular use is permitted depends on the activity, jurisdiction, data, contracts, and target website terms. Review those requirements before collecting data or operating accounts. Databay also applies its Acceptable Use Policy. This is general information, not legal advice.

How much do Databay proxy networks cost?

Residential Flex is a flat $0.55/GB. Standard residential volume pricing reaches $0.90/GB at 1 TB; datacenter volume pricing reaches $0.50/GB at 1 TB; and mobile plans reach $2.50/GB. Minimum order sizes and traffic-validity periods differ by product, so compare the product pricing page before ordering.

What protocols do Databay proxies support?

Databay publishes HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 support across its proxy products. Any client that accepts a standard proxy host, port, username, and password can use the gateway. The documentation includes examples for Python, Node.js, cURL, and common browser tools.

How does geo-targeting work?

Targeting is encoded in the proxy username or selected in the dashboard. Standard residential supports country, state, city, ZIP, coordinate, and ASN controls. Residential Flex uses country-level targeting, while mobile and datacenter products publish their own smaller targeting sets. Check the relevant product page before designing a location-dependent workflow.

Can I use sticky sessions?

Yes, on products that publish sticky-session support. Standard residential and mobile sessions can remain sticky for up to 120 minutes, while Residential Flex publishes a 30-minute limit. Rotation and address availability still depend on the selected pool.
