Quick answer
Where do PinnedIP’s static ISP IPs come from?
Static ISP IPs come from upstream partners that lease address space registered to US internet providers and host it on servers in US data centers. No home device or end-user connection is involved. Each IP is rented to one customer at a time for 30 days, from $2.03 (October 2026). We do not name our upstream partners, and we do not promise a provider, city or /24 range before the checkout shows it.
How does an ISP proxy differ from a residential pool in sourcing?
A rotating residential pool sends traffic through devices of real people, so its ethics depend on how those people consented. An ISP proxy does not use anyone’s device: the address belongs to a provider’s registered space and is announced to a server in a data center. The questions to ask are different: is the address space legitimately leased, is the server operated within the provider’s and the data center’s rules, and is abuse handled. Read ISP vs residential proxies for the full comparison.
What can I verify myself?
The registration and routing of every IP you rent. Look up its AS number and holder with the free RIPEstat API or whois (guide): the holder should be a US internet provider, not a hosting company. You can also check its city in two geolocation databases (guide). If an IP does not match what the checkout showed, contact support.
What do we not claim?
We do not claim that an IP was "never used", that it is "clean" on every website, or that a provider or city is in stock before the checkout shows it. Availability by state, city and internet provider varies; the checkout shows what is online. IPs of one order can come from the same /24 range; different /24 ranges are not promised.
How is abuse handled?
Abuse reports go to [email protected]. A person reviews every abuse report; confirmed abuse leads to suspension. Blocked on every IP: Online banking, government and payment sites, and the email-sending (SMTP) ports 25, 465 and 587. To handle reports, we keep connection metadata for up to 30 days; see the privacy policy.
Sourcing: FAQ
Is a PinnedIP IP someone’s home connection?
No. No home device or end-user connection is involved. The IP is registered to a consumer provider and runs on a server in a data center.
Why don’t you name your upstream partners?
Supplier names are commercial information we keep confidential. What matters for your use, the registered provider of each IP, is visible in public routing data.
Can I choose the provider of my IP?
When the checkout lists it. Availability by state, city and internet provider varies; the checkout shows what is online. Each provider page explains the networks and AS numbers you may see.
