An instant setup proxy provider is one that, upon receiving your payment, <strong>sends you your proxies immediately<\/strong>. Not within minutes or hours, but now. These systems tend to be fully automated; after you create an account and enter payment, the system will dispatch the number of proxies you purchased to you via email.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do the providers do this?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Proxy providers like this own large pools of proxies, stored in data centers around the world, that are just waiting for paying customers. When you make the purchase an algorithm locates the proxies that best fits your order and dispatches them to you ASAP.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s as simple as that, and sounds good in many ways. We\u2019re living in a digital world, and this particular topic is at the center of that digital-ness. Why not automate the process?<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"the-pro\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Pro\"><\/span>The Pro<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The main pro we\u2019ve already mentioned, and it\u2019s obvious. <strong>Speed<\/strong>. You get those proxies immediately and they can be used immediately. It\u2019s hard to beat product that is readily available in such an easily accessible way.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"the-cons\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Cons\"><\/span>The Cons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There was only one major pro because, when it comes down to it, there are a lot more cons with instant setup proxies.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"not-specific-to-your-needs\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_Specific_To_Your_Needs\"><\/span>Not Specific To Your Needs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Due to the automated nature of the service, you often don\u2019t get proxies that are specific to your needs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As you may know, proxies are used for all sorts of things. Some people want proxies to scrape and harvest data from Google, others want them to create and access email accounts. Still others need proxies to make Ticketmaster and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateproxyreviews.com\/nike-proxies\/\">limited-edition Nike purchases<\/a><\/strong>, while even more people want them to just\u00a0browse the internet anonymously.<\/p>\n<p>The above list can continue ad infinitum, but the point is that the particular ways a proxy is used requires <strong>a specific kind of proxy<\/strong>. Most of the time a general proxy will work, but it won\u2019t work well.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s take the Ticketmaster example, as that typically involves a time-limit. <a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/proxies-for-ticketmaster\/\"><strong>You need proxies to\u00a0purchase hard-to-get tickets<\/strong><\/a>. You forgot about the sale date (let\u2019s say it\u2019s Coachella tickets),\u00a0and the tickets go live in one hour. You scramble for proxies that will activate in that amount of time and find a service that can do it. You purchase them only to find that many of the IPs have already been used and banned by Ticketmaster. <strong>These weren\u2019t virgin proxies<\/strong>\u00a0(ones that have never been used or seen before); they had digital stigma attached to them. Your ticket-grabbing application fails to work because the proxies get burned out and you don\u2019t get the tickets.<\/p>\n<p>This is a worst-case scenario, but my point is that <strong>with automated instant setup proxies you\u00a0can\u2019t really know how they\u2019re going to work<\/strong>. They will work; you paid for them, but most of\u00a0time people don\u2019t just need proxies to work, they need them to work for a specific application or process.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"rarely-virgin-proxies\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rarely_Virgin_Proxies\"><\/span>Rarely Virgin Proxies<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The second major negative for instant setup proxies relates to an aspect of the first example. You might never be able to get virgin proxies. This will depend on the provider, <strong>but most of\u00a0the time instant proxy providers source from a continuous, huge pool<\/strong>. This pool has been\u00a0shared and used by hundreds if not thousands of customers who did all sorts of things with these proxies, making them unusable in certain situations.<\/p>\n<p><picture class=\"aligncenter wp-image-110  perfmatters-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IP-blocked-by-Nike.png.webp 976w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IP-blocked-by-Nike-300x89.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IP-blocked-by-Nike-768x227.png.webp 768w\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20638%20189'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20638%20189'%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" alt=\"IP blocked by Nike\" width=\"638\" height=\"189\" data-src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IP-blocked-by-Nike.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IP-blocked-by-Nike.png 976w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IP-blocked-by-Nike-300x89.png 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IP-blocked-by-Nike-768x227.png 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/picture>\n<noscript><picture class=\"aligncenter wp-image-110\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IP-blocked-by-Nike.png.webp 976w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IP-blocked-by-Nike-300x89.png.webp 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IP-blocked-by-Nike-768x227.png.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\"\/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IP-blocked-by-Nike.png\" alt=\"IP blocked by Nike\" width=\"638\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IP-blocked-by-Nike.png 976w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IP-blocked-by-Nike-300x89.png 300w, https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/IP-blocked-by-Nike-768x227.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\"\/>\n<\/picture>\n<\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>Like I said, this will depend on the actual proxy provider.

The proxies provided are not worth the high cost, you just end up paying for the immediate service. For a little more patience (and more research) you could find proxies that will last longer, run faster, and be more in-tune with your actual needs.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/royadata.io\/blog\/shared-proxies-vs-private-proxies\/\">The Difference Between Shared and Private Proxies<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3 id=\"fewer-providers\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fewer_Providers\"><\/span>Fewer Providers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>There are tons of proxy providers out there, <strong>but there aren\u2019t many instant setup proxies<\/strong>. This requires a business to own thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of proxies already, so that when a customer buys they are ready to go. That kind of overhead is expensive, so only a few services provide actually instant proxies. InstantProxies and ProxyBonanza are two of the more well-known ones.<\/p>\n<p>This smaller group usually leads to inflated prices.

Why get instant setup proxies if the plan is to use them for months or years? Take the extra day to do your research, connect with customer service reps for a couple of companies, and make a good decision. This will ensure your needs get met.<\/p>\n<p>The other major benefit to the slower proxy providers is how hands-on they are. When a provider like this gets your order, they will send an email and ask what kind of proxies you\u2019re looking for. They will do their due diligence to find proxies that fit your needs, handle it personally, and check in to make sure they\u2019re working afterward. That kind of service is something you pay good money for, but it goes a long way.<\/p>\n<p>All that said, the reality is that these slower proxies providers are not necessarily better. You have to do comparisons to see if they are. You could certainly purchase proxies from a provider that isn\u2019t instant setup, only to find the instant setup would have better for your needs.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>There is no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestproxyreviews.com\/\">perfect proxy<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>You will still have to hunt for good deals, reliable customer service, unused proxies, and proxies built with the functionally you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<h2 id=\"go-set-up-your-proxy\" class=\"ftwp-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Go_Set_Up_Your_Proxy\"><\/span>Go Set Up Your Proxy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The big question at the end: have you decided what proxy provider is right for you?
