# Buying proxies > All four proxy types are ordered in one form under Buy proxies . The steps change with the type you pick, and the price at the bottom updates as you go. Source: https://papaproxy.net/dashboard-guide/buy-proxies.php [Open in Dashboard](https://papaproxy.net/account_new/catalog/custom?locale=en) ## Step 1. Choose a proxy type Every type supports SOCKS5, HTTP, and HTTPS. **Which type to choose?** opens a side-by-side comparison in the form itself. | Type | How it’s sold | Best for | | --- | --- | --- | | Datacenter | Packages starting at 100 IPs, shared with other customers | High-volume use cases where speed and scale matter most | | ISP | Packages starting at 100 IPs: static IPs registered to internet providers | Websites that need residential-level trust | | Dedicated | From 1 IP, reserved exclusively for you (datacenter or ISP) | Accounts and services that need a permanent IP no one else uses | | Rotating | Request plans for 30 days; the exit IP rotates on every request | Web scraping and bulk requests | The cards above the form summarize what’s included in the selected type, such as unlimited bandwidth, the number of concurrent connections, free IP refresh, and up to 5 whitelisted IPs at no charge. The values update as you go: change the proxy type or the number of IPs, and the cards recalculate for the service you’ve selected. ![Screenshot: The order form with the proxy type selector.](https://papaproxy.net/images/dashboard-guide/en/buy-type-light.webp) ## Datacenter and ISP proxies 1. **Number of IPs** Pick a preset package or type any number you need, such as 137 or 2,450. The only requirement is a minimum of 100 IPs. The price per IP drops as the package grows; the form shows the current stock and how much you’d save by choosing a larger package. 2. **Plan term** The discount depends on the term: - 1 month: no discount; - 3 months: 10% off; - 6 months: 15% off; - 12 months: 20% off. The whole term is paid up front. The same step offers the [48-hour trial](#trial). 3. **Countries** This step is optional. Add the countries you need, at least 10 IPs per country. IPs you don’t assign go to a mix: choose a region (all countries, Europe, Asia, North America, or South America) and exclude any country you don’t want in it. 4. **Access and options** Enter the IPs you’ll connect from; **Add my current IP** fills in the one you’re using now. Your first five whitelisted IPs are free: they’re already included in the plan at no extra charge. Here you can also buy extra whitelist slots and concurrent connections, turn on UDP (a 50% add-on to the base plan price), and choose the geolocation database that determines each IP’s country. We recommend keeping MaxMind. ![Screenshot: Countries step: country list with live stock, and the mix region.](https://papaproxy.net/images/dashboard-guide/en/buy-countries-light.webp) ## 48-hour trial The trial is a full test of the configuration you choose, with your own software and use case. Instead of paying for a whole month up front, you pay for 48 hours: enough time to set up your software, connect the proxies, and confirm the setup works the way you need. 1. **Choose the trial** Build the configuration you need (type, number of IPs, countries, add-ons) and select **Test 48 hours** in the plan term step. The trial price is shown next to the option. 2. **Test your setup** For 48 hours you get full access to that configuration: the same IPs, protocols, and limits as a regular plan. 3. **Renew if it works** Renew the service for the term you need. Your IPs and settings stay the same, so there’s nothing to reconfigure. If the trial isn’t a fit, you can cancel the service, and the unused funds are credited to your Dashboard balance. Funds paid for a trial can’t be withdrawn from the balance. ## Dedicated proxies Dedicated IPs are reserved exclusively for you for the whole plan term. You can renew them as many times as you like, so if you need a static IP long-term, it stays yours for as long as you keep renewing. Just don’t let the service expire: once it does, the IP goes back on sale and another customer can buy it. Turn on auto-renewal so you don’t have to track the date. The form has its own steps for dedicated proxies: - **IP type:** dedicated datacenter or dedicated ISP. - **Countries and quantity:** set the number of IPs for each country with available stock using **−** and **+**, or type the number. You can order as little as 1 IP and combine several countries in one order. - **Volume pricing:** the price per IP depends on the total quantity in the order. For dedicated datacenter IPs, it’s $2.20 for 1–49 IPs, $2.00 for 50–99, $1.85 for 100–299, and $1.70 for 300+ per IP per month. The current tier is highlighted, and the hint above the list says how many more IPs you need for the next one. - **Plan term and discount:** 1 month has no discount; 3 months get 10% off, 6 months 15%, and 12 months 20%. The term discount applies to the whole order, including every add-on you select: extra whitelist IPs, connections, and UDP. - **Connection IP:** required for dedicated proxies. Enter the public IPv4 of the device or server that will send requests, or click **Add my current IP**. The service works from these IPs right after payment, and you can change the list at any time. - **Add-ons:** extra whitelist IPs ($1 per IP per month), extra connections ($30 per 1,000 per month), and UDP (50% of the proxy price). You can also add them later. ![Screenshot: Three dedicated datacenter IPs in Israel: the 1–49 tier at $2.20 per IP is highlighted.](https://papaproxy.net/images/dashboard-guide/en/dedicated-order-light.webp) ## Rotating proxies Rotating plans are billed per request rather than per IP: each billable proxy request uses one credit, and bandwidth isn’t limited. Plans differ by the number of credits for 30 days; larger plans cost less per million requests. Every plan includes both modes: a new IP on every request and sticky sessions. See [Rotating proxies](https://papaproxy.net/dashboard-guide/rotating-proxies.md) for how to connect. ## Review and pay The summary lists everything in the order: IPs and the price per IP, add-ons, volume and term discounts, the promo code field, and the total. If something is missing, such as a whitelisted IP or a plan term, the summary points to the step you need to complete. ![Screenshot: Order summary: 1,000 IPs for 3 months with volume and term discounts.](https://papaproxy.net/images/dashboard-guide/en/buy-checkout-light.webp) Click **Proceed to payment**. If your balance covers the total, the order is paid immediately and the service usually becomes active within seconds. Otherwise, the Dashboard offers to top up the balance first. Regular orders can be replaced or refunded within 24 hours. The new service appears in [My proxies](https://papaproxy.net/dashboard-guide/my-proxies.md), and a paid invoice appears in [Invoices](https://papaproxy.net/dashboard-guide/wallet.md). --- Last updated: November 9, 2026.
