Short, practical guides for people who rent static ISP IPs: how to prove an IP is static, who it belongs to, why its city varies, where it is hosted, and how to use it with allowlists.

**Quick answer — Where do I start with a static ISP proxy?**

Rent one IP, then run three checks: confirm the exit IP stays the same ([static IP check](https://pinnedip.com/guides/check-static-ip/)), confirm its provider ([ISP and ASN lookup](https://pinnedip.com/guides/check-ip-isp-asn/)) and confirm its city in two databases ([geolocation guide](https://pinnedip.com/guides/isp-ip-geolocation/)). **PinnedIP** rents dedicated US ISP IPs from $2.03 for 30 days; no KYC, crypto.

## What should I check before I scale up?

Before renting 50 or 100 IPs, test one or a few on your real workflow. Write down the exit IP, its AS number and holder, and the city two databases report, then run your task at the rate you plan to use. If the target site treats the IP as expected, scale up; if not, a different provider or city may suit it better, and the first 24 hours are covered by the [refund policy](https://pinnedip.com/refunds/). The comparisons explain the choices: [ISP vs residential](https://pinnedip.com/compare/isp-vs-residential-proxies/), [ISP vs datacenter](https://pinnedip.com/compare/isp-vs-datacenter-proxies/) and [dedicated vs shared](https://pinnedip.com/compare/dedicated-vs-shared-isp-proxies/).

## Guides: FAQ

### Do the code examples work with any proxy?

Yes: they use standard HTTP and SOCKS5 proxy settings and public echo or lookup services. Replace the documentation address 203.0.113.10 and the placeholders with your own values.

### Is there an API for static IPs?

Your IPs, credentials and end dates are in the client area, with a TXT or CSV export. A public API for static rentals is not documented yet.

### Where are the rules of use?

In the [acceptable use policy](https://pinnedip.com/acceptable-use/). Blocked on every IP: Online banking, government and payment sites, and the email-sending (SMTP) ports 25, 465 and 587.
