Which ISP to pick for a static IP
Country first, then city, then ASN type; pick a carrier only with a concrete reason.
Static IP Carrier and Range for Long-Term Accounts
What you can choose when you order a static IP, what you can only check afterwards, and how to keep the check simple.
What you choose and what you check
At order you choose the country, the term (1, 3, 7, 30, 60 or 90 days) and the protocol. The price is the same in every country, so the country is about fit, not cost. Carrier and address range are not fields on the order page.
The carrier, the ASN type and the range are things you read after the IP is delivered. For a short test they hardly matter. For an account you plan to keep for months they are worth five minutes, because you will use the same address for a long time.
What to read on a delivered IP
| Item | Where to look | What you want to see |
|---|---|---|
| Organisation (carrier) | org field at ipinfo.io/json through the proxy | An internet provider that fits the country you bought |
| ASN type | IPinfo ASN data, a second database such as IP2Location | isp rather than hosting; if two tools differ, compare them before judging |
| The /24 range | The first three numbers of the IP, then a reputation check on that range | No sign that the neighbouring addresses are flagged |
| Country and city | Two lookup tools | Same country in both; the city may differ between databases |
| Same answer later | Repeat the check after a renewal | Same organisation and country as before |
Source: IPinfo ASN documentation and community note on ASN types, and Scamalytics, all read on 14 November 2026. Lookup tools use their own models, so a different label is a reason to compare, not proof the IP is wrong.
Why the range matters more than the name
An ASN announces ranges of addresses, and IPinfo returns them as netblocks. The label of an ASN comes from a statistical model, not from a registry, and one organisation can run ASNs of different types. So the carrier name alone does not tell you much; the type and the neighbourhood do.
Scamalytics says its fraud score is applied across the same subnet, ASN and hosting block, so an address next to flagged ones can score higher before it is reported itself. For a long-term account that is a reason to look at the /24 once, not a reason to hunt for a famous brand.
Term for a long-term account
A 30-day lease is US$7.99 (about US$0.27 a day: 7.99 ÷ 30). The 60-day and 90-day terms keep that daily rate, so a longer term is about fewer renewals, not a lower price. The IP does not rotate during the lease.
Auto-renew is optional per IP: a new purchase has it on by default and you can untick it at purchase or switch it off in My assets. Renewals keep the same IP whenever it is still available for the new term, but this is not guaranteed.
A five-minute check after delivery
Step 1
Order one IP in the country the account belongs to. Start with 1 day (US$0.50) if you want to check before paying for 30.
Step 2
Open My assets, copy host, port, username and password, and run the curl command below. Read ip, org, country and city.
Step 3
Work out the /24 range and look it up in one reputation tool and one second database. Write the IP, organisation and range in your notes.
Expected result You have a record you can compare later.
Step 4
Only then put the account on this IP and keep it on that IP. Repeat the check after each renewal.
Read the organisation and the /24 range
curl -x http://LOGIN:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT https://ipinfo.io/json
python3 -c "import ipaddress; print(ipaddress.ip_network('203.0.113.45/24', strict=False))"
# prints 203.0.113.0/24Example only: use your own proxy details and replace 203.0.113.45 (a documentation address) with the ip from the answer.
Choosing a static IP for a long-term account: FAQ
Can I choose the carrier when I order?
The per-IP order page asks for country, term and protocol. If a specific carrier is a hard requirement, ask Support before buying; stock changes daily.
Can I choose the IP range?
No, the range is not an order field. You can read it after delivery.
Does a carrier name guarantee anything?
No. Sites use their own rules and no source gives one for carrier names. What you can check is the country, the ASN type and the neighbourhood.
The lookup says hosting. Did I get a wrong IP?
Not necessarily: databases classify networks by their own models. Compare a second tool, then see the guide on static IPs that show as hosting.
Which term should I buy for a long-term account?
30 days is US$7.99 and keeps the lowest daily rate of about US$0.27. 60 and 90 days keep the same rate and mean fewer renewals.

Renewing a static IP
Renewal usually keeps the IP, but residential renewals can move to another IP in the same country; 30 days or more try to keep it first.
