IP attributes are divided into residential, commercial IP, and data center IP. According to the IP registration area and whether the broadcast address is consistent, the attributes are divided into broadcast IP and native IP. So what are the characteristics of different types of IPs? What business scenarios are they suitable for? If you don’t know about this, you can refer to this article to learn more about the classification of IPs. It also helps you choose the most suitable IP for your current business type.

IP attribute classification:

1. Residential (ISP) IP

Advantages:

It belongs to the daily network of real users, with high credibility and the highest availability.

Most home broadband IPs support dynamic changes, further reducing other problems caused by fixed IPs.

Applicable scenarios:

Long-term and highly trusted account operations (such as PayPal, Amazon Seller).

Stable login of social media advertising accounts.

Notes:

It is costly to obtain home broadband IPs, often by purchasing "residential proxy" services. You can choose 922S5Proxy residential proxy, which can help you get high-quality ISP residential IPs.

2. Business IP

Advantages:

Applicable to enterprise scenarios, good stability, moderate access rate.

Mainly used in B2B environment, suitable for some low-sensitivity operations.

Disadvantages:

Some platforms may regard it as abnormal behavior (such as registering accounts in abnormal areas).

Applicable scenarios:

Small and medium-sized companies use it to access external supplier platforms or service platforms.

3. Data Center (Hosting) IP

Advantages:

The lowest cost and easy to use in large quantities.

A good choice for testing and automated operations.

Disadvantages:

The access blocking rate is the highest, and some mainstream platforms directly deny network access to the data center IP segment.

It needs to be matched with stronger information encryption technology (such as frequency control, UA simulation, etc.).

Applicable scenarios:

Short-term use (such as automated crawler tasks, traffic testing).

IP classification: native IP and broadcast IP

Native IP:

The registration location of the server IP address is consistent with the actual country/region where the server is located, which is more authentic and less recognized.

Broadcast IP:

The IP location is inconsistent with the actual server location. It is suitable for some low-requirement scenarios, but it is easy to be identified and blocked.
