We’re excited to announce the launch of Shared Datacenter Proxies – Infatica’s newest addition to our proxy lineup. Designed for businesses seeking high performance and cost efficiency, these proxies offer the perfect balance of speed, scalability, and affordability. Let’s take a closer look at this proxy solution!
How to Get Started?
Getting started with shared datacenter proxies is quick and easy. Simply log in to your Infatica account, then navigate to the DC Proxy section in the left-hand menu. From there, select the Shared DC Proxy option to explore available plans, configure your settings, and start using the service right away.
Key Benefits of Infatica’s Shared Datacenter Proxies
Worldwide geo coverage: Accessing geo-restricted content or performing region-specific tasks can be a challenge without the right IP coverage. Our shared datacenter proxies provide access to a global pool of IPs, allowing you to target specific countries, cities, and even ZIP codes – perfect for localized data gathering, testing, and content access.
99.9% uptime: Service interruptions can halt your workflows, causing costly delays and inefficiencies. Infatica’s infrastructure is built for reliability, delivering a 99.9% uptime guarantee so your operations keep running without disruption.
Flexible authentication via login-password / IP whitelist: Restrictive or inflexible authentication methods can complicate team access and integration. Choose the authentication method that works best for your setup – whether it’s traditional username-password login or secure IP whitelisting.
Rotation time selection: Static IPs or unpredictable rotation can lead to bans or failed tasks during automation. Customize your rotation intervals to match your use case, helping you avoid detection while maintaining control over your sessions.
0.4s response time: Slow response times from proxies can throttle your scraping or data retrieval efforts. Our datacenter proxies deliver an average response time of just 0.4 seconds – giving you fast, reliable connections that keep up with your workload.
100% ethically-sourced proxies: Many proxy providers rely on questionable sourcing practices, risking compliance and brand reputation. Infatica ensures every proxy in our pool is ethically sourced, so you can operate with confidence and transparency.
Precise targeting on the country-, city-, and ZIP-level: Generalized geo-targeting isn’t enough for location-sensitive tasks like ad verification or localized testing. Drill down to the exact level you need – from country to ZIP code – and ensure accurate, localized results for your applications.
HTTP & HTTPS support: Limited protocol support can restrict use cases and reduce flexibility. Infatica’s shared proxies fully support both HTTP and HTTPS traffic, allowing you to work across a wider range of tools and websites securely.
Top Use Cases for Shared Datacenter Proxies
Web Scraping and Data Collection
Shared datacenter proxies are perfect for high-volume scraping tasks like market research, price monitoring, or news aggregation. Their speed and scalability allow you to gather large datasets efficiently without the high cost of residential IPs. With geo-targeting capabilities, you can scrape localized content from specific countries, cities, or even ZIP codes. Plus, customizable rotation settings help you avoid detection and bans.
Ad Verification
To ensure your ads are being displayed correctly and not manipulated by fraudulent actors, you need to simulate user access from different regions. Shared datacenter proxies allow you to verify ads from multiple geolocations without needing a dedicated proxy for each target. This helps advertisers maintain campaign integrity and prevent click fraud. Reliable uptime and low latency ensure smooth, real-time checks.
SEO Monitoring
Monitoring search engine rankings across various regions requires accessing search results as if you were a local user. Shared proxies enable you to collect SERP data from different locations at scale and frequency. This is crucial for businesses and agencies managing multi-regional SEO strategies. Using fast, ethically-sourced IPs ensures stable, accurate data without risking IP bans.
Social Media and Account Management
Managing multiple accounts on social platforms like Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn can easily trigger platform restrictions if IP usage isn't varied. Shared datacenter proxies allow you to distribute your activity across different IPs, reducing the risk of flagging or bans. With flexible authentication and IP rotation, you can maintain control over account sessions while operating efficiently. They're ideal for SMM tools, automation, and influencer outreach.
E-commerce Intelligence
Whether it's tracking competitor pricing, monitoring product availability, or auditing listings across marketplaces, shared proxies give you the speed and access you need. You can simulate buyers from various regions to collect accurate, real-world data. With HTTP/HTTPS support and fast response times, you get reliable connections to platforms like Amazon, Walmart, and eBay. It's a scalable solution for e-commerce teams that need continuous insights.
QA Testing and Localization Checks
Before launching a service or product globally, it's critical to test how it appears and behaves across different geographies. Shared proxies make it possible to simulate access from various locations without deploying complex infrastructure. This helps teams validate user experiences, regional content, or localized offers with ease. Combined with high uptime, it's a dependable tool for continuous QA processes.
Education and Research Projects
Academics, analysts, and students often need access to data across websites that restrict or rate-limit non-human traffic. Shared datacenter proxies provide an accessible, budget-friendly way to gather this information for legitimate research. Their performance allows large-scale data retrieval without waiting for long response times. Ethically-sourced IPs also help ensure your research remains compliant with data use standards.
