# Datacenter Overview

> High-speed IPv4 and IPv6 datacenter proxies

Datacenter proxies give you high-throughput IPs on a 10 Gbps uplink. When your target doesn't discriminate by IP type, datacenter outperforms residential on both speed and cost per request.

**IPv4 and IPv6 are separate products** with their own plans, IP pools, and credentials. Your username determines which pool serves your requests — you don't pick address family at connection time.

## Products

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Datacenter IPv4" icon="server" href="/datacenter/ipv4">
    Dedicated IPv4 addresses, rotating or sticky. High success rate on IPv4-only targets.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Datacenter IPv6" icon="network-wired" href="/datacenter/ipv6">
    IPv6 subnets with unlimited threads. Cheaper per request for IPv6-compatible targets.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Shared endpoints

Both products connect through the same hosts and port:

| Region        | Host                | Port    |
| ------------- | ------------------- | ------- |
| United States | `dcp-us.proxies.fo` | `10808` |
| Europe        | `dcp-eu.proxies.fo` | `10808` |

Which pool serves your request is determined by your credentials. An IPv4 plan username exits through IPv4; an IPv6 plan username exits through IPv6. No modifier or port switch — the account type is the signal.

## Authentication format

Both products use the same auth and session modifiers:

| Modifier              | Purpose                                   |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| *(none)*              | Rotate on every request                   |
| `-session-<id>`       | Sticky session — same IP for the duration |
| `-duration-<seconds>` | How long to hold the sticky IP            |

```
# Rotating
dcp-eu.proxies.fo:10808:adminywsve:jwqcoz4lfm

# Sticky, 5 minutes
dcp-eu.proxies.fo:10808:adminywsve-session-5s5d4xud-duration-300:jwqcoz4lfm
```

Datacenter doesn't support country / state / city / ASN targeting. The regional endpoint determines geography. For country-level control, use [Residential](/residential/overview).

## Protocols

Both IPv4 and IPv6 support HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5, and UDP on the same port.

## When to pick datacenter

* Targets that don't actively block datacenter ranges
* Speed and throughput matter more than IP type
* You want predictable daily pricing instead of per-GB billing
* You need UDP support (DNS, game servers, WebRTC)

If your target flags datacenter IPs, use [Residential](/residential/overview) or [Mobile](/mobile/overview).
