# Datacenter proxies

> Fast, cheap hosting IPs for open and mid-protected targets.

Datacenter proxies originate from cloud and hosting providers. They deliver the best latency and lowest cost, which makes them ideal for open pages, internal tooling, and high-volume crawls against targets that do not filter hosting ASNs aggressively.

## Best for
- High-volume crawling of open sites
- API polling and monitoring
- Development and staging traffic
- Cost-sensitive batch jobs

## Tradeoffs
- Easier to detect and block
- Weaker geo realism for consumer sites
- Poor fit for strict anti-bot stacks
