IPv4 Proxy Static IP Features: IP Change and Renewal Methods in Stop/Start Operations

IP address management in IPv4 Proxy services is one of the topics users frequently inquire about. Understanding the behavior of IP addresses allocated in Datacenter and ISP IPv4 packages is critically important for developing the right usage strategy.

Static IP Structure in IPv4 Proxy Packages

The IP addresses assigned to you in our Datacenter IPv4 and ISP IPv4 packages are completely static and are dedicated exclusively to your use. This structure operates on a dedicated (private) IP logic and provides the following advantages:

• Personal Use: Assigned IP addresses are not shared with any other customer
• Consistent Connection: You can perform operations through the same IP address every time
• Reliable Recognition: You appear as the same source continuously to target platforms
• Whitelist Support: You can have your IP address whitelisted on specific services

Does Proxy Stop/Start Operation Change the IP Address?

The "Stop Proxy" and "Start Proxy" operations performed through our customer panel do not cause any changes to IP addresses. These operations only control the active/inactive status of the proxy service:

• When the proxy is stopped, the connection is temporarily disabled
• When the proxy is started, the service becomes active again with the same IP addresses
• Your IP pool and assigned addresses do not change
• Your existing proxy configuration (IP:Port mappings) is preserved

This behavior pattern is a natural consequence of the static IP structure and guarantees system stability.

How to Change IP Address in IPv4 Proxy?

To change your IP addresses in Datacenter IPv4 and ISP IPv4 packages, you need to purchase a new package. There is no feature to manually change or renew the IP addresses assigned in your existing package.

IP Change Scenarios and Solutions

1. Temporary IP Change Requirement:

If you need to use different IP addresses for a short period, you can purchase a new package without stopping your existing one and cancel it after use.

2. Permanent IP Change Requirement:

If you want to permanently change your assigned IP addresses:

• Cancel your existing package
• Purchase a new Datacenter IPv4 or ISP IPv4 package
• The newly assigned IP addresses will automatically be different

3. Continuous IP Rotation Requirement:

If your workflow requires regular use of different IP addresses, you should choose our Rotating Proxy or Rotating IPv6 Proxy services instead of static IP IPv4 packages.

Difference Between Static IP and Rotating IP

When Should Static IP Be Preferred?

The static IP structure in IPv4 Proxies provides advantages in the following usage scenarios:

• Social Media Account Management: Appearing to connect from the same IP continuously to the platform
• E-commerce and Marketplace: Managing your seller accounts from a reliable location
• API Integrations: Access to services requiring IP-based whitelisting
• Corporate Applications: Secure access to internal company systems
• Game Servers: Multiplayer games requiring static IP
• Remote Work: Connecting to the corporate network from outside the office through a static IP

Situations Requiring IP Address Change

In some cases, you may need to change your assigned IP addresses:

• IP Blocking: Your IP address being blocked by the target platform
• Spam/Fraud Detection: Your IP having been abused by a previous user (rare)
• Geographic Requirements: Need for a different subnet or IP block
• Security Policies: Security procedures requiring periodic IP changes

In these cases, you can apply the IP change methods mentioned above.

How to Request IP Renewal?

Follow these steps to renew your IP addresses:

1. Log in to your customer panel
2. Locate the IPv4 package you want to cancel
3. Create a cancellation request (if auto-renewal is off, service will automatically close at the end of the term)
4. Purchase a new Datacenter IPv4 or ISP IPv4 package
5. Download your new delivery file and obtain your updated IP:Port information

Completely different IP addresses will be assigned to you in your new package.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: When does my IP address change?
A: In our IPv4 packages, IP addresses only change when you purchase a new package. Your IP does not change with any operation on your existing package.

Q: Will my IPs be transferred to someone else when my service term ends?
A: Yes, when your service term expires, the assigned IP addresses are returned to the pool and can be assigned to new customers.

Q: Will I get the same IPs if I renew my package?
A: No, the system assigns new IP addresses to you during service renewal. We cannot guarantee the same IP block.

Q: Can I change just one of my IPs?
A: No, IP assignment is done on a package basis. Individual IP change feature is not offered.

Q: Is there an additional fee for IP change?
A: Since you need to purchase a new package to change IPs, you need to pay for the new package. No separate IP change fee is charged for your existing package.

Conclusion and Recommendations

The static IP structure in our IPv4 Proxy services is ideal for usage scenarios focused on reliability and consistency. Proxy stop/start operations do not affect your IP addresses; IP change is only possible by purchasing a new package.

If your workflow requires frequent IP changes, we recommend evaluating our Rotating Proxy or Rotating IPv6 Proxy services. If you need static IPs, your existing IPv4 packages are suitable for long-term use.
