Shared vs Dedicated Proxies
Understanding whether your proxy is shared or dedicated affects performance, cost, and reliability.
TL;DR: Dedicated proxies offer better performance and reliability but cost more. For outreach, dedicated is typically worth the investment.
The Difference
Dedicated (Private) Proxies
- Used only by you
- Full bandwidth available
- Your reputation only
- Higher cost
Shared Proxies
- Multiple users same IP
- Bandwidth split
- Reputation affected by others
- Lower cost
Impact on Outreach
| Factor | Dedicated | Shared |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Fast | Variable |
| Reputation | You control | Others affect |
| Reliability | Consistent | Unpredictable |
| Risk | Lower | Higher |
Why Dedicated Matters for Outreach
For cold email and social media:
- Other users' behavior affects your deliverability
- Spam from shared IP can blacklist your campaigns
- Consistent performance requires dedicated resources
- Account safety depends on clean IP history
