Static residential

You buy "these specific residential IPs, for 30 days", not traffic. The IP is fixed for the lease, needs no session options, and does not draw down the dynamic residential pool.

Billing and purchase rules

• Unit: one IP × 30 days
• Lease: fixed at 30 days; no other tier is offered at checkout
• Protocol: http or socks5, chosen at checkout
• Per-order cap: at most 100 IPs per cart, and at most 100 per country
• Targeting granularity: country only (two-letter code)

How expiry is computed

Expiry comes from whichever lease the resource is actually issued with. When no explicit lease is returned, it is the issue time plus 30 days.

Inventory and ordering

Placing an order atomically decrements that country's inventory first, then creates the checkout. If checkout expires or payment fails:

• Inventory is added back
• The reservation record is marked released

After successful payment, the system matches available IP credentials from inventory to your order FIFO per country, with one resource record per IP.

So "inventory showed available at checkout but I got nothing after paying" cannot happen in the normal flow — stock is locked the moment you order.

Using it

What you receive is a complete host:port:username:password. Use it as an ordinary proxy, with no region or session options to compose:

curl -x http://STATIC_USER:STATIC_PASS@STATIC_HOST:STATIC_PORT \
  https://api.ipify.org

For the SOCKS5 protocol, swap the scheme for socks5:// (curl uses socks5h:// to let the proxy resolve the hostname).

Where it fits

Good fit

• Account warming and social media operations — target sites read IP changes as a risk signal, and only a fixed IP avoids extra verification
• Anything that requires whitelisting your IP with a third-party service
• Long-running service egress

Poor fit

• Large-scale concurrent scraping — a handful of fixed IPs gets rate-limited fast; use dynamic residential
• Frequent region changes — static residential is bought by country and fixed once issued

How it differs from datacenter

Both are fixed IPs billed per IP-lease. The differences:
