Number of IPs
Number of IPs to be allocated as your pool of available IPs.

Advanced options:
100% uptime
The 100% uptime brings immediate value by providing 100% connectivity and continuous high-performance level, free of charge. Plus you don’t have to make any changes in your code/workflow.
If our system detects a problem, like a connectivity issue or an IP where the GEO isn’t exactly what you asked for when buying that IP, we will automatically route your requests through other IPs which are exactly the same as the original IPs.
Enable 100% uptime
Simply toggle the 100% uptime switch
