Blog — Proxy Types, Explained Without the Sales Pitch | ProxyJam

Most of what is written about proxies exists to move a reader towards a checkout, ours included. The difference we are aiming for here is narrower and easier to check: these pieces say plainly which jobs our product is the wrong tool for, and they name the alternative rather than talking around it. Three articles to begin with, each answering a question people ask before they have decided anything. What an ISP proxy is, and why being registered to a broadband company while running on server hardware decides almost everything about it. How a static ISP address differs from a rotating residential pool, which is a question about whether the address stays yours rather than about where it is. And what actually separates residential from datacenter addresses, which turns out to be one field in a public registry rather than a price. If a fourth is worth writing, it will be because a question keeps arriving.
