For protected public-data targets, Residential IPv4 is usually the safest starting point, with rotating residential IPs in 195+ countries and state and city targeting where available. Datacenter IPv6 fits fast, high-volume collection for targets on IPv6 or a supported CDN. Choose by how strict the target is, which regions you need, and whether the site is reachable over IPv6.
Yes, for accounts you are authorized to run. Give each account its own sticky session, which holds one working IP for the window you set (5 seconds to 24 hours on Residential IPv4), and target the region the account belongs to. If that exit stops working, the session can move to a new IP. Agencies and operators use these sessions to keep profiles separate and their day-to-day activity consistent.
Proxies let you compare pricing from different locations and keep monitoring jobs stable over time. Retailers often vary offers by region and throttle repeated requests, so ColdProxy rotates or holds sessions as needed to support reliable price checks across markets.
Yes, for public market data. Collect public quotes, filings and financial news from many sources on a steady schedule. Rotation spreads requests across many IPs to help reduce IP-related blocks, and when a source shows different data by region, Residential IPv4 lets you target the country, plus the state or city where available. ColdProxy keeps a 99.9% success rate on proxy connections.
Usually not. One Residential IPv4 plan can run scraping, price monitoring and authorized account work side by side, sharing its speed tier or traffic pack. Collection jobs rotate to a fresh IP on each request, and each account gets its own sticky session of 5 seconds to 24 hours. You choose rotation or a sticky session, plus the country and, where available, the state or city, in the proxy username, so no extra order is needed. Add an IPv6 plan only for targets on IPv6 or a supported CDN.
Choose the plan that matches your workflow, then start with the shortest public billing period available for that product. Residential IPv4 (Unmetered) and Residential IPv6 currently offer hourly buying, Datacenter IPv6 starts at daily billing, and Residential IPv4 (GB Based) uses monthly traffic packs. Residential IPv4 (GB Based) and Residential IPv6 activate instantly after payment clears; Residential IPv4 (Unmetered) and Datacenter IPv6 set up automatically in up to 10 minutes.
