Everything you need to go from an empty account to a working US static IP: the order, the payment, the connection format and the first test.

**Quick answer — How do I start using a PinnedIP static ISP proxy?**

Choose a plan (one US IP costs $2.03 for 30 days), top up the order price in crypto, then copy the IP from your client area in the format IP:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD and send a test request to api.ipify.org through it. No KYC: an account number is your login, and email is optional.

## The five steps

1. **Choose a plan** — On pricing, pick the number of IPs. The checkout lists the states, cities and providers in stock.
2. **Save your account number** — It is your login. Your account number is your login: save it somewhere safe. Add an email (optional) if you want a way to recover it. Without an email, a lost account number cannot be recovered.
3. **Pay in crypto** — Top up the order price (at least $25) in BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC. Send the exact amount on the network shown, then click I’ve sent the payment; it is matched by its exact amount and credited once confirmed.
4. **Copy your IPs** — Each IP appears as IP:PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD, with an HTTP port and a SOCKS5 port. You can also allowlist up to 10 of your own IPs.
5. **Send a test request** — Use the commands below; the answer must be your rented IP.

## What does the connection string look like?

Each line of your list is one IP. The fields are the address, the port, then the username and password. In proxy URLs, the same values become `scheme://USERNAME:PASSWORD@IP:PORT`, where the scheme is `http` for the HTTP port or `socks5h` for the SOCKS5 port.

*Format of one line (documentation values)*

```text
203.0.113.10:HTTP_PORT:USERNAME:PASSWORD
```

*First test with curl*

```bash
curl -s --proxy http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@203.0.113.10:HTTP_PORT https://api.ipify.org
curl -s --proxy socks5h://USERNAME:PASSWORD@203.0.113.10:SOCKS_PORT https://api.ipify.org
```

## What if the test fails?

- **407 Proxy Authentication Required**: the username or password is wrong, or your tool did not send them. Copy them again from the client area.
- **Connection refused or timeout**: check the port (HTTP and SOCKS5 use different ports) and that your network allows outgoing connections to it.
- **A different IP comes back**: your tool is not using the proxy for that request, or a VPN is overriding it.
- **Email sending fails**: SMTP ports 25, 465 and 587 are closed on every IP.

## Quickstart: FAQ

### How long until my IPs work?

IPs are allocated after the plan is bought from your confirmed balance. IPs are allocated after you buy from your confirmed crypto balance; if we cannot deliver an order within 24 hours, its full price goes back to your balance.

### Can I use the IP from several tools?

Yes, from your own tools and team at the same time. Reselling or sharing access with third parties is not allowed.

### Where do I see the end date?

In the client area, next to each IP. Renew from your balance before that date. Renew from your balance before the end date to ask for the same IPs; keeping an IP depends on upstream stock, and the client area shows the result before you pay.
