Residential IP Hourly Billing | Hourly Agent Rental for Short Term Projects

Why is hourly billing for residential IP better suited for short-term projects?

Traditional monthly proxy not only wastes the cost, but also prone to IP idling problem.ipipgo's residential IP hourly billing modelIt can precisely match this type of demand - pay for as many hours as you use, and release them automatically when you're done - and is especially suited to ad hoc tasks that require quick IP address switching.

How to choose dynamic vs static residential IP?

Both types have their advantages in short-term programs:

ipipgo supports two modes of free switching, dynamic IP pool covering 240+ countries and regions, and static IP can be kept unchanged for up to 72 hours. For example, when doing e-commerce store management, use static IP to maintain login status, and when doing price monitoring, use dynamic IP to avoid being recognized.
