Is there a minimum order for a small research pilot?

No. Order from 1 GB and pay only for what the pilot uses — there is no monthly minimum to justify before you know whether the approach works.

Can I collect data across multiple countries in one study?

Yes. Residential coverage spans 190+ countries. It does not offer a per-request country selector at checkout, so a study needing a guaranteed country of origin for every request should use ISP or datacenter, which support country-level targeting.

Is collecting public web data for research lawful?

Generally, yes, for publicly available data, subject to the target's own terms and applicable law, and provided the use is one our acceptable use policy permits. Read the policy before scoping a study.

Do you provide documentation for a data governance review?

A chain-of-custody record naming the acquisition partner, disclosure, and consent timestamp is available per address on request, which is the artefact most governance reviews ask for.

Use cases

Proxies for Market Research

Research is only as good as the sample behind it. Collecting from a single address, or a single country, answers a narrower question than the one usually being asked.

§ 01The problem

What breaks without the right network

A research programme that varies in size from a small pilot to a full-market study needs an address supply that scales the same way, without a fixed cost floor distorting a small project's economics.

Sites and platforms that show different content, pricing, or availability by geography
Rate limits that a broad, exploratory collection run hits quickly from one origin
Blocks that stop a study partway through, before the sample is complete
A sample that is only as representative as the range of origins behind it

§ 02How the network helps

What actually changes the outcome

Sized to the study, not to a minimum

There is no monthly minimum on any line — a pilot ordering a few gigabytes and a full study ordering thousands pay the same published per-GB rate for what they actually use.

Coverage wide enough for a global sample

190+ countries of residential coverage means a study designed to compare markets can actually reach each one, rather than approximating global data from a handful of origins.

Throughput for a large one-off collection

Datacenter addresses run dedicated and unmetered at 10 Gbps — the efficient choice for a large, origin-agnostic collection run such as building a training or reference dataset.

A documented chain of custody, if a review asks for one

Every address carries a chain-of-custody record on request, which increasingly matters for a data governance review as much as a procurement one.

§ 03Recommended line

Which network to put this on

Primary

Datacenter

For a large, origin-agnostic collection run — building a reference dataset or a broad content sample — dedicated datacenter throughput is the most cost-efficient way to move the volume.

Alternative

Residential

Where the study specifically needs to see content the way a person in a given market does, residential addresses reflect that geographic segmentation; datacenter addresses do not.

§ 04How teams run it

A workflow this fits into

01Define the corpus, platforms, or markets the study needs to cover
02Size the order to the study rather than to a fixed plan — from 1 GB up
03Run collection inside the defined window and apply QA before the data is used
04Retain a record of what was collected and when, in line with your own research protocol

§ 05Compliance

Publicly available data, used lawfully

Every recommendation above assumes lawful collection of publicly available data. Our acceptable use policy governs what is and is not permitted on this network, and sourcing and compliance explains where the addresses themselves come from.
