Start here: Datacenter Β· Static

Datacenter High-Volume Crawling

Crawl permissive targets at high QPS without paying residential GB prices. This is the datacenter SKU page β€” not NAS hardware, not residential scraping, not Web Scraping API.

Recommended: datacenter static IPs. Upgrade a host to residential or API only after it blocks hosting ASN. Do not start catalog or SERP jobs here.

Jobs where the target still allows hosting IPs

Open dataset mirrors

Government and academic file indexes with light bot defenses.

Internal link checkers

HEAD/GET millions of URLs on your own or partner CDNs.

Log / sitemap harvests

Public sitemaps, robots, and plain HTML directories.

Cost-sensitive labs

Need many ports in one region more than they need residential trust.

When datacenter is the wrong default

Retail, search, social, and most marketplaces will 403 a hosting ASN. Those jobs belong on Data Scraping (residential) or Web Scraping API.

🚫

Retail blocks

Amazon-class sites are not a datacenter use case.

πŸ’Έ

Residential overpay

Paying GB rates for sitemap.xml is waste.

πŸ“¦

Port count

You need many concurrent IPs, not a rotating pool story.

βš™οΈ

Ban recovery

When a DC IP dies, replace the port β€” do not silently switch the whole job to mobile.

πŸ”

Auth sessions

Do not park logins on datacenter static.

πŸ“

Not your NAS

This page is public-web crawling. It does not expose home storage.

Datacenter first, escalate only on blocks

Recommended: datacenter static. Alternative: datacenter custom when you need many ports in one region. If the host blocks DC, stop and use rotating residential instead.

Product Billing Use it when…
Datacenter Β· Static Recommended Per IP / period Recommended β€” fast cheap fetches on permissive hosts, one or a few IPs.
Datacenter Β· Custom Per port / period Alternative β€” many datacenter ports, same region, high concurrency.

How to start (one recommended path)

Path A β€” A few datacenter static IPs

Prove the host allows hosting ASN.

  1. Pick a sample of 50 URLs.
  2. Fetch via datacenter static.
  3. If status is clean, buy the period you need.
  4. If you see ASN blocks, stop β€” switch the job to residential, do not add more DC.

Path B β€” Custom datacenter ports

High QPS on a host that already passed Path A.

  1. Buy a custom datacenter bundle.
  2. Shard URL ranges per port.
  3. Keep residential out of this job.
  4. Watch for sudden 403s after a CDN policy change.
Custom proxies β†’

Pick one β€” do not mix these on the same job

Stay on datacenter when

  • Sample fetches return 200 with real content.
  • The host is a CDN, dataset, or your own property.
  • You need QPS more than you need a consumer ASN.

Leave datacenter when

  • You see ASN or datacenter-range blocks.
  • The target is retail, search, or social.
  • You need a logged-in session.

First-week checklist

Common questions

Is this NAS access?

No. The filename is historical. This page is high-volume datacenter crawling of public web hosts.

Cheaper than residential?

Per IP, yes β€” until the host blocks you.

Web Scraping API?

Use API if the page needs render/anti-bot. DC will not fix empty SPAs.

Rotating datacenter?

JoyProxy datacenter is sold as static/custom ports, not a rotating GB pool.

Can I start every scrape here?

No. Start residential for unknown retail/search hosts.

Go deeper

Test 50 URLs on datacenter before you scale

If the host allows hosting ASN, this is the cheap path. If not, do not buy more datacenter β€” switch to residential.
