What are static residential proxies?


Static residential proxies are IP addresses assigned by real Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and registered as residential addresses, but hosted on datacenter infrastructure. They combine the residential reputation of a genuine home IP with the speed and stability of a datacenter connection. The key characteristic is that the IP stays fixed — you get the same IP address for your entire subscription period, making them ideal for tasks that require a stable identity like account management and social media management.
What are ISP proxies vs static residential proxies?


ISP proxies and static residential proxies refer to the same underlying technology — IP addresses assigned by ISPs but hosted on datacenter servers. The terms are often used interchangeably in the proxy industry. At IPnivo, we use “static residential proxies” as our standard product name because it clearly communicates the two most important properties: the IPs are residential (registered to real home addresses) and static (fixed, not rotating). If you see “ISP proxies” mentioned elsewhere on our site, it refers to the same product category.
What's the difference between static and rotating residential proxies?


Static residential proxies give you a fixed IP address that stays the same for your entire subscription — ideal for long sessions, account creation, and ecommerce accounts where you need a stable identity. Rotating residential proxies change your IP on every request or at set intervals — better for large-scale data collection where you need many different IPs to avoid detection.
Can I choose the country for my static residential IP?


Yes. You can choose from 65 countries at no extra cost. Country-level targeting is included free with every plan. Top locations include the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Hong Kong (China), Indonesia, Australia, United Arab Emirates, Kazakhstan, and South Africa.
How to use static residential proxies?


Using static residential proxies is straightforward. After purchasing a plan, you’ll receive proxy credentials (host, port, username, password). Configure your browser, antidetect browser (AdsPower, Multilogin, GoLogin), or automation tool (Selenium, Puppeteer, Scrapy) to route traffic through the proxy. Your static residential proxy server will then assign you a fixed residential IP that stays the same for the entire subscription. See our Quick Start Guide for step-by-step setup instructions.
Where to buy static residential proxies?


You can buy static residential proxies directly from IPnivo. We offer Standard and Premium tiers with multiple IP plan sizes, all with unlimited bandwidth. We also provide a short-term trial option so you can test before committing.
How long can I keep the same IP address?


You can keep the same IP address for as long as your subscription is active. We offer monthly billing cycles. As long as your subscription remains active (or auto-renews), your fixed residential IPs stay with you. If an IP becomes unavailable during your subscription, we’ll replace it free of charge.
What's the difference between Standard and Premium static residential proxies?


Standard and Premium differ in IP quality, not in type. Premium static residential proxies have lower fraud scores, higher anonymity levels, and cleaner IP reputation tested across major platforms. Choose Premium if your workflows are sensitive to IP reputation (e.g., account creation on strict platforms, financial services, or high-value ecommerce accounts).
