How to choose
Static or rotating?
Choose static when you need to keep the same IP for an extended period. Choose rotating when you need access to a larger pool of IP addresses.
Residential, datacenter, or mobile?
Choose residential for ISP-associated IPs, datacenter when speed and scalability are the priority, or mobile when your workflow specifically requires a mobile carrier IP.
IPv4 or IPv6?
IPv4 offers broader website compatibility. Choose IPv6 only when your target supports IPv6 connections.
