General
What is ProxyDay?
ProxyDay sells proxies paid from a prepaid USD balance. You sign up with an email and password, top up your balance, and buy plans in the dashboard.
What types of proxies does ProxyDay offer?
There are 4 products: unlimited residential proxies billed per day, residential proxies paid by GB, static ISP proxies and datacenter proxies paid per IP per month.
Which countries are available?
Unlimited residential, residential and static ISP proxies cover 60 countries. Datacenter proxies cover 18 countries. City targeting is available for many countries.
Which proxy protocols are supported?
All plans support HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5. Use port 6100 for HTTP/HTTPS and port 6200 for SOCKS5 on gate.proxyday.shop.
How do I start using ProxyDay?
Create an account, top up at least $30, then buy a plan from your balance. Your proxy username and password are created when you sign up and are shown in the dashboard.
How many accounts can I create?
Up to 3 accounts can be created from one IP address. One account can hold several plans at the same time, so most users only need one.
Unlimited residential
How is the unlimited residential proxy billed?
It is billed per day with unlimited traffic. The daily price depends on the number of days, concurrent connections and bandwidth you choose. The base price is $4.65 per day for 200 connections and 100 Mbps on a 1 day plan.
How much does an unlimited residential proxy cost per day?
Prices start at $3.53 per day for 200 connections and 100 Mbps on a 90 day plan. For example, 1,000 connections with 200 Mbps costs $10.11 for 1 day, or $8.60 per day on a 30 day plan ($258.00 total).
Do longer unlimited plans cost less per day?
Yes. Plans of 7 days or more get 6% off, 30 days or more get 15% off, and 90 days or more get 24% off the daily price.
How many days can I buy an unlimited plan for?
The plan cards offer 1, 7, 30 and 90 days. In the dashboard you can set any length from 1 to 365 days.
What do concurrent connections and bandwidth mean?
Concurrent connections is how many requests can be open at the same time: 200, 500, 1,000 or 2,000. Bandwidth is the speed cap of the plan: 100, 200, 500 or 1,000 Mbps.
Can I choose the country on an unlimited plan?
Yes. Add a country code to the proxy username, for example -cc-us, and each request can use a different country. The residential IPs rotate on every request unless you set a sticky session.
Residential
How much do residential proxies cost per GB?
The price per GB goes down with pack size: 5~9 GB $0.40, 10~49 GB $0.38, 50~99 GB $0.37, 100~299 GB $0.36, 300~999 GB $0.34, 1,000~2,999 GB $0.32, and 3,000 GB or more $0.29.
Does residential proxy traffic expire?
No. Purchased traffic stays on your account until you use it, so you can buy a larger pack at a lower GB price and use it over time.
What is the smallest and largest residential pack?
You can buy from 5 GB up to 5,000 GB in one order. The plan cards show 50, 100, 300 and 1,000 GB, and 100 GB is the most popular choice.
Should I choose residential or unlimited residential?
Pay by GB suits small or irregular workloads, since purchased traffic never expires. Unlimited residential suits heavy daily use: traffic is not counted, and you pay per day for the connections and bandwidth you choose.
Can I target a city with residential proxies?
Yes. Add -city- to the username, for example -cc-us-city-new_york. City targeting is available for many of the 60 countries.
Do residential proxies rotate?
Without a session ID the IP changes on every request. Add -sid- with any ID to keep the same IP, and -ttl- to set how long it stays, up to 60 minutes.
Static ISP and datacenter
What is a static ISP proxy?
A static ISP proxy is an IP that stays assigned only to you for the whole period you paid for. It suits accounts and tools that need the same address every day.
How much does a static ISP proxy cost?
Static ISP proxies are priced per IP per month: 1~19 IPs $0.29, 20~49 IPs $0.27, 50~199 IPs $0.26, and 200 IPs or more $0.24. You can buy 1~1,000 IPs.
How much does a datacenter proxy cost?
Datacenter proxies are priced per IP per month: 5~49 IPs $0.15, 50~199 IPs $0.14, 200~999 IPs $0.13, and 1,000 IPs or more $0.12. You can buy 5~5,000 IPs.
Are there discounts for longer static or datacenter plans?
Yes. Both products offer 1, 3, 6 and 12 month periods. 3 months gets 3% off, 6 months 6% off, and 12 months 10% off.
Which countries do static ISP and datacenter proxies cover?
Static ISP proxies are available in 60 countries and datacenter proxies in 18 countries. You choose the country when you buy.
What is the difference between static ISP and datacenter proxies?
Static ISP IPs are registered to internet providers, so sites see a regular internet connection. Datacenter IPs come from server networks, cost less per IP and suit fast bulk tasks.
Balance and billing
How do I top up my ProxyDay balance?
Top-ups are paid in crypto through a secure payment window. Accepted options are USDT on TRON, BNB Smart Chain, Ethereum or Solana, plus USDC, BTC, ETH, BNB, SOL and LTC.
What is the minimum top-up?
The minimum top-up is $30, or $20 for visitors from 72 lower-income countries. The maximum is $5,000 per top-up.
How does the top-up bonus work?
Top-ups of $100 or more get a bonus balance, calculated as a percentage of the amount you pay: from $100 +20%, from $200 +25%, from $300 +30%, from $500 +35%, from $1,000 +40%, from $3,000 +45%, and $5,000 +50%. For example, a $500 top-up adds a $175 bonus, so your balance goes up by $675. Top-ups under $100 get no bonus.
Can I get a refund?
Refunds go back to your balance. Failed, cancelled or not-activated orders are refunded to the balance in full. Balance cannot be withdrawn to a wallet.
Does my balance expire?
No. Unused balance stays in your account with no expiry, and you can spend it on any product later.
Why does my order show activating?
After you buy, the order shows activating until the network side turns it on. If an order cannot be activated, it is cancelled and the full amount returns to your balance.
Setup and connection
How do I connect to a ProxyDay proxy?
Use host gate.proxyday.shop with port 6100 for HTTP/HTTPS or port 6200 for SOCKS5. Sign in with the proxy username and proxy password shown in your dashboard.
What options can I add to the proxy username?
Add -zone-unl, -zone-res, -zone-isp or -zone-dc to pick the product, -cc-us for the country, -city-new_york for the city, -sid- for a sticky session and -ttl- for its length in minutes. For example: pd7k2q9mx3-zone-res-cc-us-sid-a1.
How do I keep the same IP for a while?
Add -sid- followed by any ID you choose. The IP stays the same for that ID, up to 60 minutes, and you can set the length with -ttl-.
Can I use the proxy without a password?
Yes. Add up to 10 server IPv4 addresses to Allowed IPs in the dashboard, and connections from those addresses work without a password.
How do I change my proxy password?
Regenerate it in the dashboard. After that, put the new password into your tools and scripts.
What happens when I change my account password?
Your account password is separate from the proxy password. Changing it signs out your other devices, and your proxy username and password stay the same.
